This listing is for an SideKick64 card with 3D printed case designed by me.
It includes the cables needed to connect the cartridge with a CPU and SID pin for kernal and SID emulation. It can work without connecting the cable, but kernal and SID emulation won't work.
Please write a note in your order of what colour you want otherwise random will be send.
This cartridge can incorporate either a Pi Zero-2 or a Pi 3A+ that's not included in the listing.
The cartridge is using the short Sidekick64 pcb and its designed to be used with either Pi Zero-2 or Pi 3A+ having all their ports available via holes on the back of the cartridge.
Sidekick64 is a versatile cartridge/expansion for the C64, C128, the C16/+4, and the VIC20.
It uses a Raspberry Pi 3A+, 3B+ or Zero 2 (only for C64/C128/VIC20) to emulate memory expansions, sound devices (up to 8 SIDs, SFX Sound Expander, MIDI), freezer cartridges, cartridges such as Easyflash/GMOD, kernal replacements, C128 function ROMs and many more.
Some functionalities can be combined with others, e.g. kernal replacement plus freezers or GeoRAM expansion.
The Sidekick64 handles among others PRGs, D64, SID, MOD, YM and WAV files and also integrates tools such as Disk2EasyFlash, PSID64.
Its functionality is entirely defined by software. A more complete list of currently implemented emulations/features includes
- a GeoRAM/NeoRAM-compatible memory expansion,
- freezer cartridges
- Action Replay 4.x-7.x
- Final Cartridge 3(+)
- KCS Power Cartridge
- Super Snapshot V5
- Freeze Frame and Freeze Machine
- Atomic/Nordic Power (experimental, at best)
- numerous (bank switching) cartridges such as
- plain CBM80, C16/+4 and C128 cartridges
- Easyflash (with simplified EAPI support)
- GMod2 (including EEPROM for save games)
- MagicDesk/Domark/HES Australia
- Ocean Type A and B (up to 512k)
- Dinamic
- C64 Game System
- Funplay/Powerplay
- Comal80
- Epyx Fastload
- Warp Speed (C64 and C128)
- Megabit ROM (C128)
- (Super) Zaxxon
- Prophet64
- Simons Basic
- RGCD and Hucky's cartridge
- C64 kernal replacement
- Function ROMs on a C128
- multiple SIDs and Sound Expander/FM emulation (up to 8 SIDs, e.g. to play The Tuneful 8)
- simplified Datel and Sequential MIDI interface emulation with built-in SoundFont-synthesizer (slightly modified version of TinySoundFont)
- audio player (MOD, YM and WAV files) with SID- and HDMI-output, supporting up to stereo 48kHz output on dual-SID setups (C64 and C128)
- TED-sound and Digiblaster emulation for C16/+4 (to have all sound devices on one output)
