Another shoutout to @CommodoreLad for his help fixing my U64 board. If you need someone in UK who can fix pretty much anything, I 100% recommend his service. Best lad I’ve dealt with, always helpful and reliable. Great to see the board back up and running 🥹🥹 #CommodoreHospital

Turning my #C64 into a guitar powered SID synth thanks to TeensyROM 👾 This little beast from @SensoriumEmb is a MIDI, ROM Emulator, Fast Loader, and Internet hub for the Commodore 64. Retro-futuristic magic✨
English

@AnnatarTheMaia @kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog Sounds like you're thinking of RAM in the C64 emulating ROM, that's not what's happening here, the TR does true external ROM emulation.
English

@SensoriumEmb @kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog I'm throughly confused by the phrase "emulate ROM's" in the context of C=64 / 128, since running from ROM involves just setting $1 to the appropriate bank. This ain't Nintendo!

TeensyROM is a ROM Emulator, Fast Loader, MIDI and Internet cartridge for Commodore64/128. More info github.com/SensoriumEmbed… #C64


English

@AnnatarTheMaia @kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog It has to be capable of emulating these reads in every 6510 CPU cycle if needed, up to ~1 million times per second.
English

@AnnatarTheMaia @kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog External ROMs are emulated (by the TR) via the expansion port, and requires decoding the address and placing the requested data on the bus to be read (as if it were a "real" ROM) all within about 200 nano-seconds.
English

@AnnatarTheMaia @kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog $1 sets the *internal* ROM banks (BASIC, Kernal, and Char) nothing really to do with external ROMs on cartridges.
English

@AnnatarTheMaia @kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog This means it can emulate thousands of ROM cartridges, among other features. The OneLoad64 collection is a good example, over 2100 cartridge games in there, instantly loadable with the TeensyROM.

@kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog And are they any good? What does "ROM emulator" even mean in the context of a Commodore64 / 128?

@SensoriumEmb @rwxdesigns I think it looks great and I would happily play with one… no matter how it resets my C64. There are worse things to worry about in life 😊👍
English

@rwxdesigns @FREEZE64UK In your previous post you said "without knowing how the interface works". I'm happy to explain it in low level detail if you like, and the design is fully open source. :)
Thank you! :)
English

@SensoriumEmb @FREEZE64UK I think my concern with it all initially is the speed of it all. It's almost like doing a drag and drop of a game into VICE, which is fine in VICE. On real hardware I'd be a bit conscious of using it though. Even soft resets too many times can cause issues.
English

@rwxdesigns @FREEZE64UK I'm sorry, I really don't understand your concern. It's doing the same thing every other emulation cart does, just using NFC as a trigger. It's all solid state electronics... Do you have technical data to back up your claim?

Introducing the NFC-1541... coming this weekend! Big thank you to @timwilsie for the label design and @SensoriumEmb @StatMat01 for the inspiration to do a C64 inspired #TapTo case!

English

@rwxdesigns @FREEZE64UK Make that external *reset* buttons, sorry...
English

@rwxdesigns @FREEZE64UK Yes, it's not doing power cycling or anything like that, just pulling the (open collector) Reset signal low to restart/initialize as carts (and external power buttons) have done for years. :)
