The return of the Hybrid Sid Player by xAD/Nightfall & Gianluca Renzi (RetroBit Lab)
Based on the Project and Hardware Schematic by Markus Gritsch released in the years 2011-2015 on the forum dangerousprototypes. Thanks Markus.
Changelog:
v1.19 – 22/5/2022
Added:
- Added the horizontal scroll of the sid filenames list.
- The maximum allowed length of the sid file including extension is 48 characters, the small oled can display a maximum of 20 characters, so this feature is useful with very long file names. The function is activated with the MODE key when you are in browsing files mode, once the 48 characters are reached, the scroll resets and repositions the display of the file from the beginning until the next pressing of the MODE key.
Updated:
- Added a new parameter to the configuration file (config.ini).
- Choose the default SID Socket on bootup. This configuration is not mandatory.
Below is an excerpt from the “config.ini” file.
# Choose the default SID Socket on bootup (1:Socket #1 – 2:Socket #2) – default: 1
DEFAULT_SID_SOCKET=1
Fixed:
- Wrong emulation for the NOP opcode. %-)
- I noticed this problem with a SID made by Hermit of Samar Productions, SIDRIP Alliance, Singular that uses a SID Player written by him. SID Tune: MSK Cover-XF End (https://csdb.dk/release/?id=214247) This SID Player uses several illegal opcodes and i immediately thought of an emulation problem of these illegal opcodes, instead it was the NOP opcode that had problems. I point out that i listen at random 7XX favorite songs at least 1 hour a day and i never noticed any problems. :-D Anyway, Fixed.
- Max entries per directory.
A new version of the firmware for the Kung Fu Flash Cartridge by Kim Jørgensen is released.
Changelog:
- Fix timing problems on some C64s (since v1.38). Thanks chris
Note:
Disk emulation is now active by default when launching PRGs. If this is not desired or if the PRG requires EF3 USB support then the old load option is still available in the file options menu (shift+return or long press fire).
A lot of changes has been made to optimize the C64/KFF communication. Please let me know if you detect any broken functionality in this release

This Amiga 1200 was sent to me by a friend to made the usual replacement of the capacitors and also overhaul everything and migrate the pcb to a new case with a new colored keyboard.
Works that have been done:
- Replacement of all electrolytic capacitors.
- Cleaning the expansion connector which was oxidized in some parts.
- General cleaning of the PCB.
- Kickstart OS3.2 installation
- Replacement electrolytic capacitor in the Panasonic JU-253-043P Floppy Drive
- Floppy Drive Cleaning.
- Greasing of Floppy Drive mechanical parts with silicone grease.
- Painting of the Floppy Disk eject button with matt Black color (Only the black button for Chinon Floppy Drive is supplied with the new case)
- CF Card adapter fixing.
- Installazione PCB and colored keyboard in the new case.
- Functioning test with Floppy Disk and CF Card.
Gallery:
This drive has two different problems.
- The Floppy Drive just did not turn on.
- The motor spinning always, regardless of whether a Floppy Disk was inserted or not.
Repair:
The Floppy Drive could not work because the FUSE inside the external power supply (transformer) was missing. :-D
The second problem was caused by the RAM-I/O-Timer (RIOT) 6532 which had decided to stop working.
Replaced the RIOT and made a good cleaning and greased some mechanical parts with silicone grease, everything has started again to work better than before. :-D
Gallery of the repair:
This poor Commodore 64 already been previously repaired by me but soffer of these new problems.
- Out of Memory
- Black Screen
- No Cursor.
- Garbage screen.
The problem of the black screen at irregular intervals with the out of memory was solved by replacing the CPU 6510, as soon as the CPU warms up a little more than normal the computer displayed only a black screen, cooling the CPU still did not work but at least something was displayed.
The problem of the out of memory are 4 dead ram + 1 previously replaced and i have decided to put in a socket the remain 3.
Last problem, there was no cursor and sometimes a garbage screen was displayed, as we all know the CIA 6526 in position U1 should be faulty due to the missing cursor.
Instead of CIA 6526 it was the socket of the 6569R3, replaced the socket the cursor is back and other annoying glitches disappeared.
