Jean-François DEL NERO (la persona che sta dietro lo sviluppo dell’emulatore Floppy HxC SD) ha recentemente rilasciato una versione del firmware HxC compatibile con il chip STM32 utilizzato nel Floppy Drive Gotek.

Questo significa che possiamo godere di quasi tutte le features che il firmware HxC supporta anche per l’economico Floppy Drive Gotek.

Il bootloader per convertire il floppy drive Gotek in HxC compatibile va acquistato sul sito di HXC 2001 inviando un’email a Jean-François DEL NERO. Il prezzo del bootloader e’ di 10 euro una tantum per ogni Gotek che si vuole aggiornare/convertire. Gli aggiornamenti successivi del software sono gratuti e possono essere fatti da chiavetta USB.

The HXC Usb (Gotek) firmware supports: + many more….

E’ stato rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento firmware per l’ultimate-64 di Gideon.

Differences with previous official release V1.06:

• SID has been improved quite a bit:
  • The internal SID is now consistently referenced as “UltiSID”, to avoid confusion with other SID products.
  • Various bugs, like the phase of the filters, and the routing of Voice 3 when the VOICE3OFF bit was set have been corrected.
  • A number of SID filter curves have now been implemented and can now be chosen from the configuration menu.
  • The resonance can be changed to two different settings.
  • Combined waveforms can now be selected between 6581 and 8580.
  • Internal bus charge in the SID is now emulated.
• The 6502 core has been improved. All ‘stable’ illegal instructions are now fully operational:
  • SLO $07 $17 $03 $13 $0F $1F $1B
  • RLA $27 $37 $23 $33 $2F $3F $3B
  • SRE $47 $57 $43 $53 $4F $5F $5B
  • RRA $67 $77 $63 $73 $6F $7F $7B
