+Muddyfunster Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Can anyone please signpost me to a SID player and a PSG player that work with the PokeyMAX (with SID & PSG obvs ). I've searched but I can't find anything. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues76 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 2019 was a busy year (so is this one). Man I too late to get this or may e I have to wait for v3 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Muddyfunster Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I gave this a try on my A8 (U1MB + VBXE + PokeyMax Quad+SID) This is what I get when I try to run the disk. I expect I'm doing something wrong or I've not done something I should but I'm at a bit of a loss. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

xxl Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 it will work when you boot from a device connected through the peripheral connector, not the cartridge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duddie Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Guys, if anyone has troubles with installation/running PokeyMAX, please send an email to jurek(at)retronics.eu. I do not follow this thread continuously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I’m having trouble getting my PokeyMAX to work in an 800 with Incognito. Install is simple and it works in mono but when I connect A4 to enable stereo it acts really strange. It boots up and it’s as if the L key is pressed. It goes into the Incognito loader, but keys do not respond. I actually had a SimpleStereo installed and that worked fine. It was a little difficult to fit in so I wanted the smaller form factor of the PokeyMAX. Does anyone here have one installed in an 800 with Incognito?

Duddie Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Have you connected all lines properly? Especially A4 and A7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's when I connect A4 things go wrong. Keyboard locks up. In mono mode it works correctly. SimpleStereo, which uses the same connections works correctly.

Duddie Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Simplestereo doesn't have A7 connected. I am pretty sure that wiring is wrong. Such behavior was observed by other customers. Fixing wiring always help. Please double check everything. It is not a problem with pokeymax itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathy Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hello Duddie Will PokeyMax with Quad Pokey, Stereo 8 bit Covox and (Stereo) AMY be available after this batch? If not, when do you expect it to be available? Sincerely Mathy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, when do you expect it to be available? Sincerely Mathy Duddie just sent me a prototype of the board, which I have yet to receive. We may need to make changes and do another prototype before the final run, or this might be perfect. Fingers crossed! The new board provides: i) More io, so no mod is needed for using A4-A7, gtia in and ultimate 1MB at once etc ii) Analog mixing of sio in iii) Firmer output stage using op-amps iv) 4 layer board to allow better ground/power plane. These cores are ready and working well, though I plan to iterate improvements: Pokey SID PSG Covox - 4 channel 8-bit Sample covox extension - internal ram dma, 4 channel 4-bit, 8-bit or 4-bit IMA ADPCM (~12-bit quality in 4-bits of data) These can all be used together on the PokeyMax v2 10M08 hardware, though a small mod and a board reprogram is required to use them all at once. For SID I'm struggling for space to fit some of the more advanced 6581 filter non-linearities in the existing hardware. Though the main filter differences are implemented already. I might have a go at developing an AMY core next year, though I have a few other projects too! For example I'd like to back port some of the above to the EclaireXL. If I do AMY i think will require the largest FPGA option 10M16 I think. So if you want to be future proof go for a v3 with 10M16. Really though to make this worthwhile I should work with a developer to write software at the same time. 6502 sound coders: Is there any interest in that? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) I'm testing the v3 prototype and its working. I should make a few improvements here and there but so far so good. We have a lot more IO on this one. So we have: A4-A7 connected GTIA in 6 spare! I'm thinking about these 6 spare pins... Perhaps PS2 keyboard, USB keyboard, digital audio out? Any other ideas?

xxl Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) can be used as a sampler? e.g. source from analog SIO IN or e.g. I would like to sample the audio signal from POKEY? --- of course the keyboard and if it works like in eclaire it would be great Edited December 17, 2020 by xxl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
