Ho acquistato il Texas Instruments Grillo parlante Più a pochi euro e pienamente coscente che le lamelle di contatto per le batterie a causa di una perdita di acido
erano andate distrutte (vedi foto).
Dopo aver provato il Grillo parlante Più se effetivamente funzionava ancora ho fatto una bella pulizia del vano batterie, scocca e display.
Ho sostituito le lamelle di contatto per le batterie con delle simili recuperate da un vecchio registratore a cassette morto e defunto.
Il risultato finale e’ perfetto, sembra l’originale , anzi meglio perche’ ho messo la molla del negativo della batteria nel lato corretto, l’originale ha le molle tutte da un lato, sia per il positivo sia per il negativo della batteria.

E’ stato rilasciato da Nobomi un nuovo aggiornamento firmware per l’ARMSiD.
News features and fixes in FW 2.16:
- Fix for 2 MHz mode C128. Since this firmware ARMSID is functional for all modes and types of communication with C128 (even those incompatible with SID documentation).
- Added to the configuration the possibility to use the EXT IN input (pin 26) as an analog input and connect it to the internal mixer, as on the original chip. You should expect a slight increase in noise background from this input, I recommend using it only when you really need this feature.
- Also added to the configuration the possibility to change the emulation detection threshold of the 6581/8580 according to the input voltage (pin 28), so called autodetection. Originally this limit is set to 10.5V, what is below indicates 8580 emulation, what is above so 6581. With the new setting, this limit can be about 2V, so you can use logic levels of 5V or even just 3V for switching the emulation type (pin 28 is not used for power supply in ARMSID, only for voltage measurement, no power supply on this pin is required for function).

SIDKick pico di Frenetic è un sostituto del chip SID per C64 basato su microcontrollore. Gli ingressi analogici per paddle e mouse sono disponibili proprio come per il SID originale.
Changelog:
- This release contains the fix for the NTSC-specific bug of firmware version 0.20 (and the fix for the bug I introduced with 0.201 :-)).
Note:
There are different .uf2-files are firmware files with PWM and/or DAC output, flashing (RGB-)LED on/off AND for hardware revision 0.1 and 0.2.

E’ stato rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento firmware per l’Ultimate U2+L da Gideon.
Changes in 3.11a:
- WiFi support – Now that the WiFi modules for the U2+L are available, you will need this firmware to enable it. In this zip there are two files; the firmware update for the cartridge itself (.u2l) file and the firmware file for the ESP WiFi module (.esp). They have to be applied in this order.
- Ethernet fix – Improves compatibility with some switches and routers. The LAN should now work with these.
- Garbled characters fix. – On some machines, especially on NTSC machines, the 3.11 firmware gave some timing issues. This build should fix that.
- Ulticopy fix – In 3.11 Ulticopy was broken; it should work again – supposedly – not tested.
Due to “life” (e.g. house renovation) there has not been any time for testing this firmware for other hardware platforms. Will come soon.

Inanzitutto ringrazio il mio amico che mi ha regalato il suo Sega SC-3000 che ha ritrovato in soffitta.
Dopo un’accurata pulizia del connettore cartucce, contatti della tastiera e una pulizia generale della scocca interna/esterna il computer ha ripreso a funzionare perfettamente.

Dopo quasi 18 anni dall’ultima volta che avevo utilizzato questa interfaccia usb (eMPIA con chipset EM2820) per acquisizione segnali video analogici ero curioso di provare se funzionava ancora, sopratutto per un problema di driver.
Beh che dire funziona perfettamente sia con l’ingresso Video Composito che S-Video, S-Video e’ l’ingresso che sto utilizzando ora con un Commodore 64.
Testato con Linux (Driver incluso nel Kernel) e con Windows 10 (installati Driver per Windows 8).
Come software ho utilizzato il Guvcview per Linux e il VLC per Windows.
