    Isn't the Side3 also capable of loading (many) ATR images without the U1MB?  Sounds like that's what he needs!

     

    Without U1MB it can load only extremally simple ATRs - in practice, almost nothing. You need U1MB to unleash its full potential (which is then greater than the one of AVG). But without U1MB AVG is better here.

    The SDX cartridge uses a GAL for the logic, it should be possible by changing the ROM and an updated GAL together, unfortunately the GAL is not socketed.

     

     

    No socket is not a problem, I can desolder GAL and install a socket. But I'd need to have a proper GAL code, which I don't have. That's a problem.


  3. Ok, so it's a bit different banking scheme and therefore it's not possible te reuse the same hardware without changes in control logic. I'll just keep using the universal carts I have. 


  4. I'm playing a bit with Diamond GOS using AVG cart but I'm thinking about a dedicated card. I have a stand-alone updatable SDX cart. Can I just flush it with Diamond and it will work? Or shall I do something special (I've never tried it yet)? Or is it not possible at all? Thanks!

    3A should be plenty though, I thought you might be running on even half that. But, yeah, it wouldn't hurt to try stock PSU's if they output more amps.

    Plenty enough - if everything is OK with the computer. Maybe it could use a recap? I use a 3A PSU as well produced by Lotharek, my machine has 320KB of RAM, stereo, a built-in 3.5" floppy drive (yes, really) and Karin Mini floppy drive controller and AVG cart connected. It has completly no problem with additional powering of FujiNet. So, I bet, that 130XE is simply faulty. Or the PSU is only 3A on the paper, while actually it cannot deliver that much.

    Hey all!
    Just received my FujiNet 1.3 in an XL type case. My SIO cable will not stay plugged into the back of the FujiNet. It just springs out. Unfortunately, I only have one SIO cable. I've tried both ends of the cable.
    I've pushed hard, so I know that the cable won't go any farther in. It seems like the pins on the FujiNet are too short or the socket is too deep.
    Any idea how I can work around this?

     

    What do you connect with this SIO cable?


  7. Hello all. I hope, this is the right place to ask about the problem I have.

    I'm in a process of flashing ESP32 for my FujiNet. I'm using Linux, so I downloaded the FujiNet-Flasher and I'm trying to use it. Unfortunatelly, it fails with the following log:

    Using '/dev/ttyUSB0' as serial port.

    Why does it fail? I have Python-3.8 installed.

     

    I tried the Windows version on my wife's computer but it ended up with exactly the same mistake (I installed all the necessary drivers, otherwise I would not be able to see the ESP32 module).

     

    Any hints?


  8. I'm trying to convert my beloved movie, which is Bladerunner. I tried to do something like this:

    1. Use Audacity to normalize the sound to 0.0dB. Normalization of so long soundtrack is not always the best idea since there may be one or two places in the whole movie with loud sound, while others may be pretty low.

    2. Additionality, increase volue by 8dB. Of course, it caused a lot of clippings - I just wanted to make it loud.

    sox somplained then about volume a lot:

    sox WARN wav: wave header missing extended part of fmt chunk 
    sox WARN rate: rate clipped 13524 samples; decrease volume?
    sox WARN dither: dither clipped 17500 samples; decrease volume?
    sox WARN sox: `Bladerunner-pal.wav' input clipped 229735 samples
    
    

    Anyway, it's still pretty quiet. If I stream it to YouTube (capture with a simple USB grabber), YT can amplify the sound and make it at normal level. Yet, I would like Atari to play it a bit louder. But maybe it should be this way?
