Sales of the SIDBOX is currently Unavailable as it still

You can find out more on MsMadLemons youtube review.
PLEASE know, I will be releasing the SidBox for sales soon,
but as for a date: I will update this page to give one.
I am truely sorry.... PLEASE stick with me though - There

helping me debug and give me ideas of the interface, debugging
the bootloader!
I am a one man Band and these have to be made by hand currently

each one to be made.

I'd like to say a big thank you to Shawn Tewes
from the SIDBOX
facebook group, for producing the fonts outside
of the original SIDBOX rom, these fonts can now be used
in the sidbox.
rename your font to "font.fon" and store
it to \S\ reboot.

CASES |
Just has some amazing support, from Cato Hagen
from the SIDBOX
facebook group - offered to help supply some very
seriously nice prints, using strong PLA.
May even have rubber shock protection cases also. From
what I've, these are clearly at a great standard!

THE FIRMWARE: [back
to top]
Click on the version number you want to download, Do note
the firmware for new and fresh reinstalls on the SidBox needs
to be done with a microchips Programmer IDC3 / 4 or a PicKit
3/4.
To update your sidbox, simple download your firmware you
wish to use, extract the file to the root directory of your
sdcard, rename the firmware to "sidbox.hex"
Accessing the Bootloader:
Turn
off the SIDBOX,
Remove SDCARD,
Hold PLAY + NEXT SONG, TURN on SidBox,
Release PLAY+NEXT SONG.
You should see a prompt to insert your sdcard. If the "sidbox.hex"
is found, the update immediately beings.
The unit will reboot it self after the update is completed
and the Sidbox Os is ready to use.
If you loose power or corrupt the update, simply access the
bootloader as described above.

6502 EMULATION:
[back to top]
While this unit has the capacity to emulate
the 6502, the memory model does not 100% fit around the C64...
There are just time critical stuff this chip while could do
it, would not be fast enough to BE a c64 at any useable rate...
however my own "computer" seems to run well enough
for basic games... the one thing i DID try to keep is the
memory locations for the SID, Using KickAss Assembler, this
system will run 6502 code. will run .prg files, but since
the memory maps aren't the same from a c64, you might have
some interesting results.

THE SOFTWARE: [back

I've included the software here and while this program is
in constant updates, it uses legacy visual basic, while it
does work, some of you might cringe... for the purpose of
testing and speed , VB is still viable
