Hello,
I am planning to use the sid replacement chip called Swinsid Ultimate with my MK2 board.
Swinsid Ultimate is a 100% full replacement of the original SID including paddle support. (This is the link to its documentation: http://www.nightfallcrew.com/w…inSID_Ultimate_Manual.txt ).
Unfortunately, the Swinsid chip doesn't support the auto detection routines of your board probably because the chip isn’t capable to emulate the voltage signals exactly as the original SID (as stated in the chapter “SID model auto-detection”.
I was wondering if there is a way to force the c64 reloaded board to enable/select the SID type when the auto detection fails.
If there is no way at the moment, are you planning a firmware update to do that in the near future?
Perhaps, having an entry in the mk2 remote control menu that allows to select if the user wants to enable the autodection or manually specifying the SID type.
I think that this feature will be a great addition to your already marvelous board because will give an alternative to the users like me to not rely on an old manufactured SID which might be prone to failure with a prolonged use.
Thanks in advance,
Frank
