  1. Want 2x boards. Is possible have 2x pokey sockets (on board stereo)?
  2. Hello Friends. Find something interesting on GitHub: https://github.com/dominicbeesley/blitter-vhdl-6502 Its for Acorn Atom, Electron anyways maybe we can adapt. Some kind of multimedia/turbocard upgrade. We have VBXE, Rapidus but this can be interesting too(all in one board upgrade ram, cpu, blitter, pcm sound etc). As well as replacing the CPU the boards provide a set of enhancements to the machine: A blitter - a co-processor which can plot graphics to screen memory very quickly - roughly modelled on the Amiga's Blitter (Agnus) A sound chip - an enhanced sound card which provides 4 or more 8 bit PCM channels - roughly modelled on the Amiga's Paula sound chip A raster chaser - "Aeris" a co-processor which can update hardware registers at various points on the screen during screen scanning - analogous to but quite different to the Amiga's Copper Memory expansion: Full Sideways ROM/RAM in various configurations (Flash EEPROM, Fast RAM, Battery Backed RAM) Page-Wide expansion For 16/32 bit CPUs a linear address space Soft or Hard CPUs with separate configurations Alternative CPU's. The main CPU can be replaced with either an FPGA IPCore CPU (T65) or with a plug-in cpu More: https://github.com/dominicbeesley/blitter-vhdl-6502/blob/main/doc/hardware-overview-mk3.md - up to 6MB of main SRAM - up to 1MB of battery backed RAM - 512K of FlashEEPROM - crystal oscillator - HDMI port - SD card slot - optional RTC - optional configuration EEPROM - and optional cpu plug-in cards for additional CPU cards i.e. 6502/65c02, 65816, 6809, 6309, Z80, MC68008, MC68000 etc processors. second cpu (65816 or even 68000 can be interesting for demos as fpu for math)
  3. Maybe 2024 XE/XL game "Tony - Born for Adventure". Its beautiful hi-res game! Like Montezuma but better graphics. I know gaphics artist. Can soneone tell Atari guys? can be included with The400Mini. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086340110801
  4. There is also Pico56(rpi pico) and HBC56(real IC chips): https://github.com/visrealm/pico-56 https://github.com/visrealm/hbc-56 Specs: 65C02 CPU 65C22 VIA TMS9918A VDP (Sega SMS/MSX1) Dual AY-3-8910 PSGs (comp Atari ST) Dual NES controller inputs PS/2 keyboard input 96KB Banked RAM/ROM BASIC Pico56 is very cheap! Pcb-Way: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/PICO_56_Retro_Computer_on_a_Pi_Pico_515c59b8.html There are paint/sprite editors for msx1 also arkostracker2 for ay music... Can imagine have new Atari Games like Laura, Crownland etc... Or we can be inspired mod firmware: - atari xe/xl graphics - 2x pokey
  5. On/Off stereo??? Mono to both speakers / Stereo
  6. Nice is possible in theory make 4x pokey emulation in future? Is mcu/fpga fast enought???
  7. I am interested 2 boards in spring. Fully assembled if possible.
  8. Beautiful project! Love it. Have 3x A800XL this will be amazing to have one day 2x of them. And You can evolve with Mytek stereo-ps/2 keyboard https://ataribits.weebly.com/tk-ii-stereo.html to 4mb atx Atari in future.
  9. You are author of Cryotek WebCopy??? Wow. Also nice graphics tools. Will mirror Your site!
  10. Are both Pico cores used? Is possible use second core as player??? Mod some player and use it in games? SID https://github.com/henrikenblom/SIDPod YM2151 not finished https://github.com/anthonydotmoe/vgmplayer Lot of soundchips https://github.com/Layer812/vgmpicoTurbo Mod ???
  11. Doing webcopy (all www, files) of a800 websites want backup on hdd a bluray. I have: - ataribits - ataripcb.pl - madteam - mono music / graphics - raster... Please post here links of your or friends, or another cool 8bit XE/XL websites for backup...
  12. Will be great I am sure PokeyMAX-Quad / PokeySonic will have support tracker and player. Support in Altirra too. It's matter of time. Also games, demos. I think best benefit will be 16bit modes so 8channels (quad pokey) or 12channels (hybrid 16bit/8bit mode). This can gives new sound "ability", new sound specs to tunes. Maybe SchamaXL and SubCart will have quad too... SchamaXL author wrote it can be done. Easiest will be player. Load A (8channels rmt) and load B (8ch rmt) and play all at once easiest for start. Than altirra, tracker on PC upgraded to 16ch and native player quad modules (*. qmt for example). Also C64 guys have 4sid (12ch) also 4sid SidWizard by Hermit. This is must fot Atarians have 16channels simply 4 more than them! After that AMY recreation ... also benefit can be have 4x audio out (5din to 4x audio cinch rca) and 2x amplifier and 4x speaker each in one corner of room. This can be fun (nice effects similar like 5.1 audio albums). That can be nice too or ic mux via external switch them to stereo... Also can be useful with Rapidus in future. So 8ch stereo for music 8ch for sound fx or 2ch samples etc... Rapidus 20mhz 816 can do that plus 1mb sram and 30mb fast data ram...
  13. There was!!! Atari manufactured them for Atari Arcades. This was idea behind of PokeyMAX/PokeySonic upgrades.
