Thanks for watching! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Brilliant! I've recently bought on that needs assembly so looking forward to getting that done.
Awesome video,great......
Awesome! This design could be the basis for multicarts on other systems. Amazing what they can get the Pico to do!
great video ....love that !!
atari song!!
Fantastic. I greatly regret getting rid of my retro machines as I upgraded to new ones. My 800XL in which I'd expanded the memory to 256k using perfboard and instructions from a magazine was in MINT condition when I got rid of it after I got my Atari 1040STf. I do not even recall what I did with it.
Yeah, the „retro regret“. We have all been there or get there again from time to time.
That is a cool card! I need to check it out. I use that serial sio. 33 euros is a nice price too. Is there an SD card in it? Or just loaded on the 16MB of the pi pico (oh you just answered it 😂)
hey, sowas suche ich zeit jahren, bezahlbar 🙂! weist du ob man so ein teil fertig als bausatz herbekommt? alles gute dir, danke für den clip und ich wünsch dir ne schöne woche!...lg aus chemnitz
Hi! Sind nur zwei Komponenten: PicoPi und die Platine. … und zwei Drucktaster. Materialwert < €10. Nur der Versand aus China ist teuer. Vielleicht 10 bestellen und die anderen in die Bucht werfen?
@@RetroWKgrüße, hab mir gerade eine gekauft für 25 euronen bei Ebucht..ich hoffe das war kein scam oder so..🙂 PS: ne frage, hast du/ihr ne ahnung wo ich nen adapter (Expansionsport; 50-polig; E/A) für den C65/Plus4 herbekomme,, damit ich c64 carts benutzen kann ??...ich suche und finde nur mulm!!
..lg und schöne woche dir und super start in den frühling..🙂 le`RoboTronic64/KrautRockt!er 🙂
@@KrautRockt Nope. Keine Ahnung. Hab auch mal geschaut, aber nichts gefunden.
@@RetroWK dankeschön für die mühe! wenn dir einer mal über den weg läuft, sag bescheid!...🙂wäre super! dankeschön und schönen tag dir!..
I have both the SDrive Max and Fujinet, which rely on the SIO port.
I have an SIO2SD and I like the A8Pico better. It's not the same as a drive emulator, but I am stunned by the simplicity.
@@RetroWK It is really amazing all these devices that people come up with for the Retro community.
Thanks for this, I have a SIDE2 but that doesn't play .car files the SIDE3 does but that's lots of £££££ :) Just ordered one on eBay for £27. I don't need it but I do want it. Oh if you haven't gotten one already I can recommend getting a USB power lead for your 800XL, saves any worries about the old PSU. Tcheuss!!
Thanks! Got one cable for every Atari I own. Even made a video how to build one.
@@RetroWK of course you do, how silly of me :)
Interesting that there is no 5V to 3.3V conversion used to protect the Pi Pico. I'm trying to get my Pi1541 code running on a Pico. I should also get it to emulate cartridges on the 64 like this device does for the Atari. Effectively that would make a device like the UltimateII+ but way cheaper, running on a $2 RP2040 micro controller.
That would be very cool! Let me know when you need someone to test it!!!
hey, wolfgang...ich bins der alte neueinsteiger aus chemnitz..(mein "neuer retro.tech kanal")🙂 ne offtopicfrage: "was kann ich mit einen 286er,Highscreen Rechner so anstellen?. ich hab bau (naja, von rost zu hoffnung!) mir gerade einen auf um AmigaPlatten zu retten und fragte mich was man damit sonst so machen könnte?!? gamingmachine? welche software usw?..wäre super wenn du einmal darüber ein kleinen clip machen könntest?!..ist ja auch hart retro oder?!?..lg und sorry fürs zutexten...alles gute dir und allen fans hier draussen! euer RoboTronic64...
Hey! 286er ist für die Klassiker (Doom, LucasArts-Adventures) ein bisschen zu schwach. Aber Commander Keen und solche Spiele laufen darauf. Bei mir gehts erst ab 486er los. Drunter habe ich nix mehr. Der Highscreen 286er ist aber ein Klassiker. Damals wollte keiner die Dinger haben (weil Vobis), heute zahlen die Leute Bestpreise dafür ... genau wir für ESCOM.
@@RetroWK Danke schön für die Antwort...ich hab keine Ahnung aber uch find's schade sowas wegzuschmeißen...ps. kann man da einfach die Platte auslesen mit dem normalen ein 10 System?...müsste ja funktionieren oder ?...LG, und Danke schön für deinen kanal...😁
Die Bauteile für ein Picocart kosten deutlich weniger als 10Euro, der Bau ist simpelst, 33 Euro für ein fertiges Teil ist da ganz schön unverfroren....
I bought one of these from eBay. If I copy more than one file to it, it crashes and I have to flash it again... So beware! If anyone can help me understand what's going on, I'd be game.
Did you try to flash the firmware again? I describe that in the video.
@@RetroWK I did many times. No luck. Basically, it would try to copy one file and crash and bring me to the boot-sel... What worked was holding down fire on the joystick and booting... Then resetting the storage for the Atari files. That fixed it!
Well, copying more files to his keeps causing issues. Not sure if a particular type of file format is causing this, but my bets are on a bad flash memory chip. Getting a replacement sent, so we'll see.
