SIDKick pico by Frenetic is a microcontroller-based C64 SID replacement. Analog inputs for paddles and mice are available just as for the original SID.
The 0.22 version includes new features such as:
- Advanced SID filter settings plus 19x measured 6581 filter curves (measurements by Antti S. Lankila)
- Support for Pico 2 / RP2350
- Change bus timings (if still necessary at all!) by pressing reset for ~5 seconds, factory reset by pressing reset for >10 seconds
- Optional offsetting of paddle values now via the configuration tool
(I also added a version of the firmwares where the reset-functionality requires ~30 seconds and ~60 seconds reset press, in case the shorter times conflict with kernal switchers or other extensions)

Andrea Ottaviani (aotta) has released a couple of firmware updates for the Flash Multicarts based on the Pico Clone (Purple)
PiRTO II v. 1.05b7 (Intellivision flash multicart)
Changelog:
- Added Arduino IDE version, new environment left more ram space and let games until 180kb run.
- Fixed Time Pilot.
WARNING!!! THIS NEW VERSION USE A NEW FILE SYSTEM AND YOU NEED TO FORMAT THE PICO FLASH AND RE-UPLOAD ALL BIN+CFG FILES!!!!!

SIDKick pico by Frenetic is a microcontroller-based C64 SID replacement. Analog inputs for paddles and mice are available just as for the original SID.
This release contains the firmware for SIDKick pico with only minor changes:
- The reset behavior has been modified to avoid the problems reported for old ultimax cartridges (e.g. Jupiter Lander).
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, and the new SIDKick pico2040DAC.
Please read the troubleshooting section in case you experience problems.

It’s been 4 years since i last updated the firmware of these devices, so it was time to do so.

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