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.
Commodore Floppy Drive 1541 (1540050) Repair #1
Defects:
- Drive access problems (IEC): drive resets but the computer freez with a “searching for”
- The RED led flashes twice times then stops and start again and motor runs continuously.
- The RED led flashes repeatedly every second without stopping and motor runs continuously.
Replaced parts:
- Replaced 6522 (UC3)
- Replaced 6522 (UC2)
- Replaced 901229-03 ROM (UB4)
Commodore Floppy Drive 1541 (251830) Repair #2
Defects:
- The RED led flashes repeatedly every second without stopping and motor runs continuously.
Replaced parts:
- Replaced MOS 8713 [74LS04] (UC6)
The Return of the HybridSID Player PCB rev v2.0 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.
After the first revision of the PCB we are realized that there were some design problems and consequently of a correct functioning.
Below is a brief description of the fixes and improvements that have been made for the new one version of the SID Player PCB.
PCB rev v2.0 St.Valentine’s day version:
- OLED did not turn off when the power switch was off.
- Wrong pinout of the ALPS switch and consequently the PCB could not be powered via the USB power supply/power bank.
- Removed Zener diode.
- Added two new jumpers to select (AB – BA) for the rotary encoder.
- Rotary Encoder 20 steps, the previous one was wrong.
- Removed circuit for the switch of the two LEDs to visualize what SID is used for playing the song.
- Remapped the two SID LED switches on two MCU pins (RB15 – LED SOCKET # 1, RB12 – LED SOCKET # 2)
- Removed the possibility of using OLED 0.96″
- Aligned OLED 1.3 “on the line of the ZIF Socket.
- Moved reset signal that was used by OLED 0.96 on free pins connector.
- Fixed the holes for the OLED 1.3 “
- Remapped the following pins (RD5 – SID_RW, RD6 – SID2_CS, RB9 – KEY_FFWD, RB10 – KEY_PAUSE) to free 5v tolerant pins.
- Added two new pull-up resistors for PAUSE and FFWD key.
- Redesigned the entire amplifier stage for the headphone output using TPA6111A2 and NE5532.
- PCB tracks optimization.
- Facilitated the CPU DEBUG by creating a “frame” where each PAD corresponds to a pin of the MCU.
A new version of the firmware for the Kung Fu Flash Cartridge by Kim Jørgensen is released.
Changelog:
- Support VICE v2.0 CRT file format (C64 and C128)
