Assemblaggio e Sostituzione del vecchio DualSID con il MixSID.
A differenza del DualSID ho dovuto sostituire i due condensatori elettrolitici (vedi foto) perche’ il PCB del MixSID e’ molto piu’ largo e i due condensatori impedivano la corretta installazione del PCB nello zoccolo del SID.
Per le caratteristiche tecniche del MixSID andate qui

Ikari ha rilasciato il nuovo firmware per la SD2Snes la Flash Cartridge per Super Nintendo/Famicom. Le istruzioni per l’aggiornamento le potete trovare qui.
Changelog:
- Reworked the in-game hook code again, squeezing out a couple more CPU cycles – compatibility improved further
- BS-X: new bsx page file by LuigiBlood!
- contains a proper channel map, notably fixes Fuurai no Shiren: Surara o
- sukue and most likely more games
- enables a great number of town features
- BS-X: better detection for script-type ROMs (e.g. various magazines)
- Cx4 SKIP instruction timing sped up a bit. Core felt a bit too slow. (this is a makeshift “fix” until I implement the proper Cx4 instruction timing I recently figured out)
- Fixes:
- fixed occasional black screen after soft reset (L+R+Select+Start)
- in-game hook memory area visibility quirks fixed in various situations, notably fixes BS Kirby no Omochabako: Pinball
- BS-X: fix PSRAM corruption on SNES WRAM writes, fixes a number of games, notably BS Kirby no Omochabako: Pinball (tough one)
- PPU2 H/V count odd/even read flag is reset on ROM load, this fixes games that depend on it when run after games that leave it in a dirty state – notably audio glitches and freezes in Super Punch-Out when run after Fuurai no Shiren.
- SPC Player: Fixed a long-standing transfer corruption bug that occurred because the original bulk transfer routine didn’t account for CPU stalls by HDMA (which is abundant in the sd2snes menu). This fixes occasionally missing instruments, corrupted samples etc.
- fixed an occasional deadlock on bootup where the menu would hang at the “Loading…” screen.
- fixed hard freeze when selecting a file immediately after disabling the “Hide file extensions” option
- fixed persistent hard freeze in recent games list handling when running games with long path names (> ~120 characters)
- revert DAC I2S timing to pre-v0.1.7c behaviour, hopefully reducing audio glitches for sd2snes Rev.G units
- fixed corrupted file list display after playing an SPC file with a scrolled file name
- Cosmetic changes:
- “Loading” window is replaced by status bar notification to be less
- disruptive with very short load times
- configuration settings no longer have the wrong color when changed

Spendendo 4.70 Euro compresa spedizione, direi che questa interfaccia fa il suo sporco lavoro di conversione da digitale ad analogico senza ritardi o artefatti video.

Aggiornamento fotografico della mia Retro Collezione / Retro Pattume.
Molte cose non sono visibili nelle foto perche’ in posti oscuri o volontariamente nascoste.
Mi sembra di aver accumulato abbastanza “cose” in questi lunghi anni ed e’ arrivato il momento di meditare su cosa fare e cosa non fare, sicuramente non vendere o donare ma neanche continuare ad accumulare a questo ritmo, difatti da alcuni mesi mi sto muovendo solo sulle riparazioni e modding e devo dire che mi sento molto meglio.
