@lukhash @Fairlight64 @CommodoreBlog @Rotteroy This song is now permanently stuck in my head. Thank you much, love it! :)

@lukhash @CommodoreLad Nice setup, love the little screen!

Turning my #C64 into a guitar powered SID synth thanks to TeensyROM 👾 This little beast from @SensoriumEmb is a MIDI, ROM Emulator, Fast Loader, and Internet hub for the Commodore 64. Retro-futuristic magic✨

@AnnatarTheMaia @kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog Sounds like you're thinking of RAM in the C64 emulating ROM, that's not what's happening here, the TR does true external ROM emulation.

[Travis Smith @SensoriumEmb]

@AnnatarTheMaia @kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog It has to be capable of emulating these reads in every 6510 CPU cycle if needed, up to ~1 million times per second.

[Travis Smith @SensoriumEmb]

@AnnatarTheMaia @kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog External ROMs are emulated (by the TR) via the expansion port, and requires decoding the address and placing the requested data on the bus to be read (as if it were a "real" ROM) all within about 200 nano-seconds.

[Travis Smith @SensoriumEmb]

@AnnatarTheMaia @kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog $1 sets the *internal* ROM banks (BASIC, Kernal, and Char) nothing really to do with external ROMs on cartridges.

[Travis Smith @SensoriumEmb]

@AnnatarTheMaia @kneehighspy @CommodoreBlog This means it can emulate thousands of ROM cartridges, among other features. The OneLoad64 collection is a good example, over 2100 cartridge games in there, instantly loadable with the TeensyROM.

@lukhash @CommodoreBlog Thanks @lukhash ! :)

[Travis Smith @SensoriumEmb]

@Clive_Frog_2_0 @CommodoreBlog Yes it is! :)

[Travis Smith @SensoriumEmb]

@MuseumCommodore You just need a TeensyROM. :)

@FREEZE64UK @rwxdesigns Agreed, thank you. 😃 💜

[Travis Smith @SensoriumEmb]

@rwxdesigns @FREEZE64UK In your previous post you said "without knowing how the interface works". I'm happy to explain it in low level detail if you like, and the design is fully open source. :)
Thank you! :)

[Travis Smith @SensoriumEmb]

@rwxdesigns @FREEZE64UK I'm sorry, I really don't understand your concern. It's doing the same thing every other emulation cart does, just using NFC as a trigger. It's all solid state electronics... Do you have technical data to back up your claim?

[BNinja @Bedroom_Ninja]

Introducing the NFC-1541... coming this weekend! Big thank you to @timwilsie for the label design and @SensoriumEmb @StatMat01 for the inspiration to do a C64 inspired #TapTo case!

[Travis Smith @SensoriumEmb]

@rwxdesigns @FREEZE64UK Make that external *reset* buttons, sorry...

[Travis Smith @SensoriumEmb]

@rwxdesigns @FREEZE64UK Yes, it's not doing power cycling or anything like that, just pulling the (open collector) Reset signal low to restart/initialize as carts (and external power buttons) have done for years. :)
