Cartridge

Firmware

There is also speculation to use extra STM32 (arm) power for emulating 18MHz 6502 or as extra sound upgrade.

Nope. I wrote about this idea year ago. But when there will be 100+ people interested in. Maybe developer will think about it. I know A800 is not C64 with 100k+ of users...Anyways A800XE is beautiful computer deserves future development... Also A800 community is best.

Hacking SFF is way to go. To learn file format.

Nice SCSP datasheet:
http://koti.kapsi.fi/~antime/sega/files … 052594.pdf

Probably best will be to have:
- PC/LINUX/MACOS tracker (FM, PCM, DSP effects)
- build in 68k emulator (see datasheet)
- build in SCSP emulator (Yamaha YMF292)
- export songs to Sega Saturn ISO (with build in module player)
- render to wav, ogg vorbis
- GUI like OpenMPT, Milkytracker
- open source (github)

But this will takes months to go. Maybe years. But Saturn soundchip is supreme so motivation will be high.

@martin_demsky >>>
"zx128k+, c64, 3x nintendo dmg01s. and todays computers with chiptune trackers are also respected in our circles." - dont try to teach me. I know chiptunes since 1993.

"Look at videos of our chiptune star Lukhash, he own some superchiptune devices? No, but he know how to produce very cool remixes :-)" - LukHash is Polish star not ours. He use highly modified Gameboy and C64 and custom higlyoverpricedhardware by Teenage Engineering. Plus I can hear mastering in DAW on PC. I love His work/songs and C64 remixes. But He is more like hybrid chiptunes musician...

"Who is talking about midi synth?

Yes, all world will be working on renewed Atari titles :-)"
I see you are pure Commodore fan and know nothing about little Atari scene...

Here is Rapidus+VBXE example (ZX Spectrum emulator on Atari):

Here is VBXE game:

Another game:

As you can see graphics is like on AMIGA or PC. So yes it will be new standard.

So if you are from Bratislava (our beloved capital city) doesnt it means that you have eaten all knowledge on the earth...

I like it reminds me autechre-amber,arovane + new EDM elements.
Quality stuff! I was into IDM and now I am into trap. So love this!

I dont like punk. I like big room or hardstyle! The only punk I like is cyberpunk.

Hello friends!

I am looking at site where are brand new German C64 reloaded and Czech ZX48k Sparrow motherboards:
https://icomp.de/sho...4-reloaded.html
http://www.8bity.cz/...a-sparrow-lite/

And I am dreaming about Atari version little bit...

Lets brainstorm whole concept...

ATARI XE RENEW motherboard (aka Atari XE-R):

My dream is to have 65XE/800XE eci motherboard but with brand new PCB and some brand new parts:

- 6502 (overclockable to 3,58MHz??? Or maybe latter with Rapidus 65c816???)
- VBXE 2.x
- Ultimate 1MB (with SpartaDOS+QMEG) or maybe Antonia 4MB upgrade?
- Build in internal SIDE - compact flash interface (works as internal SSD/HDD)
- HDMI video out
- 2x golden cich audio out
- Build in SDrive or Sio2SD?
- Stereo Final Pokey (2xPokey) Upgrade or TK-2 stereo with PS/2 keyboard?
- Build in SONARI (opl3+AY) soundcard or SoundBoard? + COVOX
- white PCB
- 1x led Power 1x led SD loading 1x led playing stereo

New parts+old parts together.

How should it works?
You will pay and send your old: 800XE,65XE,130XE motherboard to RENEW company or team. And recieve Atari XE-R motherboard from them.

This XE-R will create brand new standard (like AMIGA 500plus or MSX2+ was) so everyone will have same specs. So higly optimized amazing games, demos or apps will be working on everyones ATARI XE-R.

Audio:
2x Pokey (2x 4channels PSG)
2x AY in FPGA (2x 3 channels PSG)
1x OPL3 (18x FM channels)
4x COVOX (samples)
Total 36 channels!!!
So it will be superb platform for chipmusic...
