AVGCART (Atari SD multicart) v0024 Firmware Update

January 30th, 2022 No comments

A new version of the firmware for the AVGCART (SD multicart for 8bit Atari) by tmp is released

Changelog (v0024):

  • PDS/COV/COS files run PDSPLAY/COVPLAY/COSPLAY
  • added ability to select (TAB) CAR files
  • selected files (ATR, CAS, CAR) don’t have to be in the same directory anymore, selection is cleared only after returning to the selector
  • ENTER on ATR/CAS/CAR file will replace the selection so SPACE was added to run with selected files, ignoring current file under cursor
  • search now allows navigation during searching and editing search string
  • CTRL-L disables item shortcuts and allows starting search by typing instead of ‘/’
  • ESC stops search, exiting search requires 2x ESC (to prevent accidental exit when search stops at the same time user tries to stop it)
  • disable cart was changed to SHIFT-ESC
  • short filenames should finally (hopefully) have proper case
  • filenames longer than screen width should be (finally) properly sorted
  • type 57 (2kB) fixed
  • right cart button will disable cart for carts <= 16kB (to make some CS turbo carts work)

New keys:

  • SPACE – run selected files (ignores item under cursor)
  • CTRL-L – toggle key shortcuts

Changed keys:

  • ESC -> SHIFT-ESC (disable cart and reboot)

Changelog (v0023):

  • [ECI] Auto-enable cart menu after reset (CTRL-SHIFT-E to enable, CTRL-E to disable)
  • [ECI] Patched OS for ATR emulation is forced as ROM, not just loaded into RAM under ROM, increases compatibility
  • [ECI+SIO] When emulating ATR, HSIO patched OS with inverted OPTION (BASIC off) is forced

Changelog (v0022):

  • [ECI] EXTMEM support up to 512kB (CTRL-SHIFT-M to enable, CTRL-M to disable)

The return of the Hybrid Sid Player Firmware update v1.17

January 5th, 2022 No comments

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

Based on the Project and Hardware Schematic by Markus Gritsch released in the years 2011-2015 on the forum dangerousprototypes. Thanks Markus.

Changelog:

v1.17 – 31/12/2021

Added:

  • Change visualization status of the LED for Socket #1 and Socket #2 available on the Olimex Development Board and the SID Player PCB.
  • A configuration file (config.ini) for some important settings of the SID Player. The file will be loaded during the boot and must be present in the ROOT of the filesystem of the USB key.If the file is not found, the player will configure itself with the default values. Thanks to Gianluca Renzi (RetroBit Lab) for his lite INI file parser.

Below is an excerpt from the “config.ini” file.

# Select the Sid model for the Tune played by the SID Player on the Socket #1 or Socket #2.
# Specify the socket which you want to play the sid tunes (example for SID_8580_SOCKET write
# the number 2 if you want it to be played with the SID 8580 installed on socket #2)
# This configuration makes the use very dynamic for everyone. – default: socket #1,#1,#2,#2
TUNE_UNKNOWN_SOCKET=1
TUNE_6581_SOCKET=1
TUNE_8580_SOCKET=2
TUNE_BOTH_SOCKET=2
# Use Armsid with Auto Switching (0:Disabled – 1:Socket #1 – 2:Socket #2) – default: 0
# Note: When you use the auto detection and switching of the SID model with the ARMSID this can be
# used only in one of the two sockets, the other socket is completely ignored and can remain empty.
ARMSID_SOCKET=0
# Brightness of the OLED. (0 … 255) – default: 127
OLED_BRIGHTNESS=127
# Brightness of the OLED in IDLE mode. (0 … 255) – default: 10
OLED_BRIGHTNESS_IDLE=10
# Enable the serial DEBUG. (1 Enable | 0 Disabled) – default: 0
SERIAL_DEBUG=0

ARMSiD by Nobomi New Firmware v2.13

December 8th, 2021 No comments

A new firmware update for the ARMSiD has been released by Nobomi.

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 Firmware update v1.16

November 29th, 2021 No comments

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

Based on the Project and Hardware Schematic by Markus Gritsch released in the years 2011-2015 on the forum dangerousprototypes. Thanks 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.

  • Amiga 1000/2000/3000/4000

…more:

  • 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).

Amiga is Dead – Unnecessary Updates

November 12th, 2021 No comments
Amiga is Dead - Unnecessary Updates

The Amiga scene has been dead for me from several years, long life to the Commodore 64.

Taken from a deadly boredom i have decided to do this useless hardware update of one of my Amiga 1200.

  • A1208 V3 8MB Expansion.
  • OS3.2 CF Card.
  • OS3.2 Kickstart.
  • New membrane for the keyboard.
  • Lightbrightning Case and Keyboard.
  • CF Trapdoor.
  • 4xIDE Buffered IDE interface.

I personally updated the A1208 memory expansion with the Clock section because i had the order wrong, old age strikes again.

This is just a small update to my post.

I added another useless thing to this update … unfortunately in this case it is useful because without the 4xIDE Buffered IDE interface
the CF<>IDE adapter inserted in the trapdoor on the right side of the amiga which uses an IDE cable longer than 10-15cm, DOESN’T WORK generating a mix of reading/writing errors from the CF.

Aware of the problem, i still wanted to try, in fact in an old Amiga 1200 i had the IDE-Fix Express with IDE-Express Adapter bought 12 years ago, then sold.

So i confirm it doesn’t work, even if they write exactly the opposite (see ebay announcements)

SD2Snes Firmware v1.11.0 Beta 1 released

October 23rd, 2021 No comments

Ikari has released a new firmware for the SD2Snes Flash Cartridge (Super Nintendo/Famicom). The upgrade instructions can be found here.

Sorry for the delay, but it just escaped me to post it here.

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
