Nuovo firmware per The return of the Hybrid Sid Player v1.11

The return of the Hybrid Sid Player by xAD/Nightfall & Gianluca Renzi (RetroBit Lab)

Basato sul progetto di Markus Gritsch pubblicato negli anni 2011-2015 sul forum dangerousprotypes. Grazie Markus.

Changelog:

v1.11 – 22/06/2021

Updated:

  • Decreased more than before the brightness of the display after 10 seconds if no activity is done on the buttons or encoder.
  • Slighty improved the timing (CPU cycle) of the 6510 emulator but we are far from my perception of absolute perfection :-D

Added:

  • Illegal/undocumented opcodes to the CPU Emulator:
    • RRA (Combination of two operations with the same addressing mode (Sub-instructions: ADC, ROR))
  • Automatic hardware SID switch between ZIF Socket #1 and ZIF Socket #2 (example if it is made only for 6581 or 8580).
    • This features is included in the prototype pcb. The swap will be displayed by a led placed on the lower part of the ZIF Socket.
  • Improved a little bit the file error handling.
    • If you try to load a file not supported a message “Wrong file format” will be displayed on the screen.
    • If you try to load a RSID file format a message “RSID detected, but cannot play it!” will be displayed on the screen.

TheC64/TheVIC20 Aggiornamento Firmware v1.5.2

19 February 2021 Nessun commento

Gli aggiornamenti del firmware per il THEC64 Mini/Max & TheVIC20 forniscono nuove funzionalità e / o correggono eventuali problemi tecnici.

Si consiglia sempre di utilizzare l’ultima versione del firmware.

Version 1.5.2 – Changes and additions:

  • [THEC64 Full size European] Fixes missing Bluestar carousel cover image which was broken in release v1.5.1 under some circumstances
  • [All models] Adds C64 joystick port selection; see notes below
  • Adds C64 only Classic mode added to THEC64 Mini
  • Adds disk swapping added to THEC64 Mini
  • [All models] Adds Commodore REU support with 512K, 2MB or 16MB as filename flags or CJM parameters; see notes below
  • New games for THEC64 Mini: Hessian (C64) and PET Snake (C64)
  • New games for THEC64 full size: Hessian (C64), PET Snake (C64), City Crusher(VIC20) and Mine Sweep (VIC20)
  • New games for THEVIC20: Hessian (C64), PET Snake (C64), City Crusher(VIC20) and Mine Sweep (VIC20)

Notes:

To enable REU support you can use either a filename flag or a CJM file parameter. Note that REU support does not work with VIC20 software.

To select using a filename flag, use one of the following:

  • R5 = 512K REU enabled
  • R2 = 2MB REU enabled
  • RM = 16MB REU enabled

For example:

myreudisk_R5.d64

See the user manual for further details on the use of filename flags.

To select with a CJM file, use one of the following parameters:

  • reu512 = 512K REU enabled
  • reu2048 = 2MB REU enabled
  • reu16384 = 16MB REU enabled

For example:

X:64,reu16384

See the user manual for further details on creating CJM files.

To switch the joystick in use between joystick port 1 or port 2 when running a C64 program, press and hold the joystick ☰ button, and then pressing joystick Ⓐ for port 1 or joystick Ⓑ for port 2. This will override the J1 filename flag or CJM primary port setting, if either are supplied.

Changes from previous versions:

  • v1.4.2 – Fixes an issue with THEC64 Full size: Under some circumstances C64 games may not recognise joystick port 2 when VIC 20 is the default machine
  • v1.4.2 – Adds Datasette controls for tape files in THEC64 Classic mode Media Access menu
  • v1.4.2 – Adds soft and hard reset hot-keys to THEC64 and THEVIC20 Classic mode
  • v1.4.2 – Adds freeze button support to THEC64 and THEVIC20 Classic mode
  • v1.4.2 – Adds C64 games Barnsley Badger, Soulless, Galencia and Planet of Death, plus VIC20 games Blue Star, The Keep, and Gridrunner to THEC64 North American model

Hybrid SID Player + SID 8580R5 running on Olimex PIC32-T795

Hybrid SID Player with a real SID 8580R5 running on Olimex PIC32-T795

Hybrid SID Player con SID 8580R5 e dev board Olimex PIC32-T795:

Dopo aver provato il SID Player di Bakisha e aver aggiunto alcune funzionalità (es: Big LCD ILI9341 / Real Sid) il tutto ovviamente con l’aiuto di Bakisha, grazie Branko

Ho voluto anche provare l’Hybrid SID Player di Markus Gritsch. Lo schema (omettendo alcuni componenti) e il firmware sono rimasti invariati e sono stati rilasciati alcuni anni fa (2011-2012) da Markus Gritsch nel forum di Dangerous Prototype.

Poiché la scheda DEV CUI32 dove era stato sviluppato l’Hybrid SID Player non è più disponibile da molti anni, ho utilizzato la scheda DEV PIC32-T795 di Olimex basata sullo stessa MCU PIC32MX795F512H.

Ho dovuto fare un hack sulla scheda di sviluppo PIC32-T795 perche’ i due piedini della MCU utilizzati per l’encoder rotativo non erano disponibili perche’ utilizzati per l’RTC, mi e’ bastato rimuovere dalla scheda PIC32-T795 il MHz Crystal e due condensatori, quindi ho dovuto saldare due fili direttamente sul pcb della dev board.

Lo scopo di tutti questi esperimenti è apportare alcune modifiche hardware e nuove implementazioni al progetto finale che sceglierò e quindi creare un circuito stampato all-in-one e renderlo pubblico a chiunque voglia costruirlo.

Microscopio digitale a basso costo

Digital Microscope at low cost

Non completamente soddisfatto del precedente acquisto, la cam della Eakins con la C-Mount LENS da 100x, ho voluto provare un’altro modello di cam sempre della Eakins a basso costo con C-Mount LENS da 150x.

Mi rintengo molto soddisfatto di questo ultimo acquisto.

Punti di forza che nella precedente cam mancavano:

  • Selezione 16:9/16:10/4:3 (importante perche’ utilizzo un monitor 4:3)
  • Funziona anche con monitor con ingresso DVI (cavo da HDMI a DVI) , la precedente NON funzionava.
  • Molte piu’ opzioni per regolazione dell’immagine, tra cui una importante che e’ la regolazione della Riflessione della luce, le saldature Riflettono in modo significativo la luce.
  • Due fori standard 1/4″-20 per il fissaggio.
  • Sensore CAM molto piu’ sensibile, si potrebbe utilizzare anche senza luce aggiuntiva.
