E’ stato rilasciato da Nobomi un nuovo aggiornamento firmware per l’ARMSiD.
News features and fixes in FW 2.13:
- Further optimization of code speed and size. Also bus operations are faster, finally “paddles” are successfully read on NTSC machines even with the oldest HW versions of ARMSID (with components on top) !
- ARMSID start is also faster. Instead of hundreds of milliseconds, ARMSID is fully functional in less than 15 milliseconds after power-up !
- Added the possibility to “fix” the so-called ADSR bug, i.e. a bug in the envelope generator, which is inherent to the original chips and is reproduced in ARMSID too. This is not needed in the C64 for compatibility reasons, but if you use ARMSID in synthesizers, you might be interested in this feature.
- Slightly modified quality (Q) of filter circuits for even more faithful reproduction of MOS8580.

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:
v1.16 – 29/11/2021
Updated:
- Illegal/undocumented opcodes to the CPU Emulator:
- LAE (LAS/LAR) Combinations of STA/TXS and LDA/TSX.
- ANE (XAA) Combination of an immediate and an implied command.
- All 6502/6510 instructions have been implemented.
- Increased the maximum number of files per directory from 512 max to 800 max.
- Improved delay routine for read/write eeprom via I2c bitbang, it should now be compatible with all levels of the XC32 compiler code optimization.
- Replaced and splitted the Splash Screen Logo during the boot. Thanks to Federico di dato for the Retrobit LAB logo.
Fixed:
- The BRK opcode, opcode that will probably will never used in our case.
- Missing +2 Machine Cycle Times for the opcodes: BPL,BMI,BVC,BVS,BCC,BCS,BNE,BEQ due to some previous performance improvment of the 6502/6510 emulator code, i was probably drunk, indeed, i’m sure. %-)
- The clock “|CIA|” was displayed mistakenly when you choose to play a file in DMP format but this is wrong because the DMP file format doesn’t support the information of clock used (VBI/CIA) in the file header.
- The previous and next button did not work if there are only two files (SID or DMP) available to play in the folder.
- Incorrect Machine Cycle Times for the NOP opcode, four times instead of two. %-)
- Sometimes the version number displayed during boot would pop outside from the right side of the oled screen.
- Wrong Machine Cycle Times for the SLO, SRE(LSE), DCP, RLA, ISC(ISB) Illegal/undocumented opcodes with Indexed-indirect addressing of X,Y-Registers.
Il dispositivo mouSTer consente di collegare qualsiasi mouse/joystick/gamepad USB (non con protocollo ps/2) al maggior numero possibile di vecchi computer e console.
Al momento le seguenti piattaforme retrò sono completamente supportate:
- Commodore 64/128/U64 NTSC/PAL
- MEGA65
- Atari ST/STe series
- Atari Falcon
- Atari 65XE/130XE/800XE
- Atari 600XL/800XL
- Atari 5200
- Atari 2600
- Amiga 500/600/1200
- Amiga 1000/2000/3000/4000
…ed ancora altro:
- It works with every mouse (also wireless mouse with dongle) and with every USB Gamepads.
- Config via USB flash drive – INI file + default config.
- Config transfer via USB flash drive.
- Firmware upgrade via USB flash drive (takes 3 seconds, of which 2 seconds is the time the bootloader needs to recognize the flash drive)
- USB Flash drives from 32MB to 32GB.
- Mouse emulation mode defaults – Amiga, Atari ST, joystick/gamepad.
- Emulating Amiga CD32 joypad. (default setting are for Sony DS4).

La scena Amiga personalmente per me e’ morta da diversi anni, lunga vita al Commodore 64.
Preso da una noia mortale ho deciso di fare questo inutile aggiornamento hardware di uno dei miei Amiga 1200.
- A1208 V3 8MB Expansion.
- OS3.2 CF Card.
- OS3.2 Kickstart.
- Nuova Membrana per la tastiera.
- Lightbrightning Case e Tastiera.
- CF Trapdoor.
- 4xIDE Buffered IDE interface.
Ho aggiornato personalemente l’espansione di memoria A1208 con la sezione Clock perche’ avevo sbagliato l’ordine, la vecchiaia colpisce ancora.
Questo e’ solo un piccolo aggiornamento al mio post.
Ho aggiunto un’altra interfaccia a questo inutile aggiornamento … purtroppo in questo caso e’ utile perche’ senza l’interfaccia 4xIDE Buffered IDE interface
l’adattore CF<>IDE inserito nella trapdoor sul lato destro dell’amiga che utilizza un cavo IDE piu’ lungo di 10-15cm, NON FUNZIONA generando un mix di errori di lettura/scrittura dalla CF.
Consapevole del problema ho voluto comunque provare, difatti in un vecchio Amiga 1200 avevo IDE-Fix Express con IDE-Express Adapter acquistato 12 anni fa, poi venduto.
Dunque confermo NON funziona una minchia, anche se scrivono esattamente l’opposto (vedi annunci ebay)

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.
Scusate il ritardo ma mi è sfuggito di postarlo qui.
Features added:
- [All] USB (usb2snes) support by RedGuy
- [All] save state support (via USB/savestate2snes) by RedGuy
- [All] stand-alone save state features by FURiOUS
- [All] some compatibility improvements and optimizations for stand-alone save states by ikari_01
- Add support for YAML list items for multiple savestate_fixes entries per game
- Add support for simple bitwise operations on savestate_fixes patches
- Add support for verbatim code execution on savestate_fixes patches – notably fixes Star Ocean (decompressed) save states (however the save state hook still needs CPU time optimization to prevent music glitches in Star Ocean.)
- Add IRQ support on top of NMI for the save state hook – this enables save states on Out Of This World and possibly other games that only use IRQ. Also fixes controller input capture on a number of games so the game-specific input hacks could be eliminated.
- Moved save state code outside of the USB hook area to make room for USB hook execution.
- [All] SGB support by Redacted173.
- [All] favorite games list by freelancer42
Fixes:
- [All] Fixed data caching bug in MSU1 data extension which could cause wrong data to be streamed
- [All] Savestates: do not try to capture data that is already in cartridge space anyway (e.g. SRAM). Fixes text distortion in Near’s Bahamut Lagoon translation when loading a state.
- [All] Fixed YAML config parser to support comment signs after list start items
- [All] Fixed SNES open-bus contamination (fixes sprite flickering in Near’s Bahamut Lagoon translation, certain speed runs that rely on open bus behaviour)
- [All] (hopefully) fixed rapid data line toggling sometimes resulting in address line glitches, causing random crashes in extreme cases, and occasional garbled graphics on SMRPG among others
- [All] Fixed data integrity problems when loading BSX games

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:
v1.15 – 26/9/2021
Updated:
- Slightly improved the CIA timing, now the SID tune “https://hvsc.csdb.dk/MUSICIANS/P/Page_Jason/25_Hurts.sid” and probably some others they sounds fairly well without “clicking/noise/beeping” in some parts of the song. *
- Slightly improved the VBI timing, now the SID tune “https://hvsc.csdb.dk/MUSICIANS/S/Stinsen/Freeloader.sid” and probably some others they sounds fairly well without “clicking/noise/beeping” in some parts of the song. *
- When the (Auto/Random/Intro) MODE is used the brightness of the oled is restored on each change of music until the default timeout is reached.
* I’ll never stop saying we are far away from my personal feeling of absolute perfection but sound ok for 90% of peoples, luckily there aren’t many SID sound purists :-D
Many people still think that a SID played with a SID emulator on a Mobile Phone or PC sounds absolutely identical to the one played with the SID in the original hardware version :-|

Nobomi gia’ sviluppatore del famoso ARMSID e ARM2SID, ovvero un’ottima alternattiva sviluppata con STM32 del famoso chip sonoro del Commodore 64, ha reso disponibile una simpatica interfaccia via Terminale (putty) per aggiornare e modificare le configurazioni dell’ARMSID senza utilizzare il programma nativo che gira con Commodore 64.
Il progetto si basa su Arduino UNO REV3, dunque molto economico, i sorgenti sono disponibili su GITHUB e si puo’ acquistare QUI in versione KIT.
Nobomi ha anche azzardato un SIDPLAYER che gira sotto Windows e via seriale invia DATI e INDIRIZZI che vengono poi catturati dall’ARDUINO e inviati all’ARMSID e di conseguenza riproduce la musica ma non aspettatevi un SIDPLAYER perfetto, funziona ma non perfettamente.
Io comunque non lo autocostruito per questo motivo ma per modificare le configurazioni dell’ARMSID senza utilizzare il Commodore 64, questo mi tornerà utile per verificare eventuali problematiche quando implementerò nel SID Player “The Return of the Hybrid SID Player” lo switch in tempo reale tra 8580 e 6581 con chip sonoro ARMSID o ARM2SID.
