It's also more fun to have a machine that you have done yourself

A tip; always solder the smallest components FIRST, and work upward so that the tallest components is soldered last... this is a lot easier... believe me.

good luck...Statistics: Posted by Razmo — 18/05/2012 - 23:10

I've just realised I've not myself in to the same situation. I guess I miss read the ad... and I'll be getting a box of components, not an assembled box... The chances of it ever working are therefore extremely slim

It's not that hard to do, if you just have basic soldering skills to be honest... the two hardest parts are getting the cooling paste applied to the regulators, and aligning the LEDs I'd say.

I've made my own sammichSID, soldering everything myself and can do it for you, if you want to. You'd have to send the parts to me of course, and pay the freight youself.

What exactly did you buy? did you get the full set with both the casing and the components?

Episode 048: And then there was one

In return for your patience with my completely erratic publishing schedule here is a little something for your Christmas stocking.

Bad News, Everyone!

As some of you might have seen on our twitter feed, Operation Fatherhood has forced Makke to shelve his co-hosting of the #C64 Take-away. I only learned this a week ago myself (not the fatherhood bit – that’s been out in the open for a while) – and the news was a bit of a shock, truth be told. Rest assured that there aren’t any complications or anything of the sort – it’s just eating up his spare time, which babies have a tendency to do. While I have managed to create the bulk of the show on my own in the past, I believe that Makke’s contribution has become an integral part of the podcast format since he joined up back in early 2009. Which makes it harder to go back to the old single-host formula. Sure, I might be able to get another co-host (although right now I have no idea who that would be) and set up a double ended recording to compensate for us being in different locations. But there’s something about being in the same room as your co-host that comes across in the final product. Long story short, this leaves the podcast in the state that the old K Foundation poster referred to as a “major rethink in progress“. In the meantime, please let me know what you think – either in the comments, via twitter, or by e-mail to C64Takeaway ->at<- gmail ->dot<- com. Thank you.

Episode 047: Just in time for Christmas

Just in time for Christmas, Makke and Jan skip an obvious opportunity to pour themselves a generous helping of glühwein. Instead they get all serious (well, not really), and cook up a delicious Commodore 64 styled music burger for you: Two Christmas tunes make up the bun, a solitary SID chiptune provides the dressing, and between it a solid slab of meat mixed from shredded guitars, beatup drums, and pounded pianos. Also, to spice things up there’s C64-related “news”, feedback, and the usual banter on the side. And the “Classic Remix” segment takes us all the way back to 2001. Download or listen to the MP3 here (56:54, 52 Mb) Music played:

• 8 Bit Weapon & ComputeHer – Jingle Bells (From the It’s a chiptune holiday album)
• Alexander Rotzsch (Fanta) – Finetuning

Gathering 2012 Dates Announced!

Yep, it's official! The SLAY Radio Gathering is going to happen again in 2012 and it will be on the first week in August! SATURDAY AUGUST 4th is the main day, with a barbecue at Keillers Park (weather permitting) in the daytime and the get-together in the function room of Kville Biljard in the evening. FRIDAY AUGUST 3rd will, of course, be the Unofficially Official Pre-Gathering Gathering in the evening in the main room of Kville Biljard. More information will become available soon, but in the meantime you can look at the SLAY Radio Gathering Hotspots map on Google Maps: http://g.co/maps/4kkr5 A Facebook event has been created <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/338382769528067/" target="_new">here</a>. See you there! **EDIT** Of COURSE we should have realized that there's something BIG happening in London around the same time - namely, the 2012 Olympics! This, unfortunately, is making airplane tickets to/from the UK rather expensive. We understand that this may make travel for UK-based listeners difficult and we would like to apologize in advance. What we have decided for the moment, however, is that we are going to continue hosting the Gathering on the same date, to go with tradition. If the travel expenses are really too high this year, we're sorry, but rest assured that there will be another Gathering next year! ***EDIT 2*** Legal age for entrance to Kville Biljard (which counts as a pub) is 18 years, just so you know. Sorry to you younger listeners out there, but 18 is the minimum age to enjoy the full evening!

Best of Commodore 64 (C64 SID) remixes 2000 - 2011

Just in time for the Roty 2011 show here is the best of 2000-2011 torrent. Let's see if high votes also mean a place in the Roty! Jarno Beumer did it again and collected the top 10-songs published on <a href="http://remix.kwed.org/">RKO</a> of every year and shared this compilation as a torrent so the best C64-remixes are just a few mouseclicks away for anyone. As 2011 ended, I send a polite request wich went something like this: Hey Jarno, you lazy git it's time to wake up and update that there best of torrrent, he promptly updated his torrent 2000-2009 and added the top 10 songs of 2010-2011 as well. Not to mention he went above and beyond duty and rechecked the previous years also. You want the very best of remixed C64-songs as vote for on <a href="http://remix.kwed.org/">RKO</a> ? Go grab the Best of Commodore 64 (C64 SID) remixes 2000 - 2011.torrent <a href="http://tracker.slayradio.org/">here</a> As usual get your latest remixes on <a href="http://remix.kwed.org/">RKO</a> and remember to keep seeding for a while after download. Now something different LPChip requested a full rko torrent. Which is a bit to keep updated so I'm thinking of making a RKO First Decade and Second Decade torrent. First Decade is just the complete 2000 (since it has everything before that) Second decade will be 2001-2010. Thoughts, want it? leave a comment. Misser *edit Ps. I place all my torrents in a sub dir called: "RKO C64" and then named after the torrent etc. This keeps it easy to make yearly torrents from quaterly etc. And also would make it easy to make a Second Decade torrent since that would be "RKO C64RKO-20XX Complete dirs" Meanwhile I cleaned up the tracker a bit with input form LPCHip. Hide the quarterly torrents. They will be serviced untill absolete. *edit 2 Thee-hi seems 2001-2010 is just to big to handle for Slacker. So no decade torrents in a while.

NecroPolo - rakBIT added to the rotational

Hi all, With the kind permission of NecroPolo, I have today added his album <a href="http://www.c64audio.com/productInfo.php?cat=NP01" target="_new">rakBIT</a> to the rotational. Here's what c64audio.com says about this piece of retro goodness: "NecroPolo has produced a stunning album which is built on a vintage prog-sound: from hard as nails to Rhodes-heaven, NecroPolo has got beneath the skin of the pieces and created something which is totally authentic to their spirit. As if that wasn't enough, this album features the first ever C64-executable album cover, complete with classic scrolltext and the original SIDs that appear on the album, in one PRG! And if THAT wasn't enough, this demo contains the first ever usage of a revolutionary new SID encoding format which enables any complexity of SID to be played back with minimal raster time, no matter how complex the player! Named SIDRIP, this routine was produced by Hermit specially for this demo, because pieces such as Scoll Machine or Rimrunner needed to feature in this demo, and their players were far too difficult to squeeze into a one-file demo." Thanks NecroPolo!

C64 SID Phase Accumulator and FPGA Tuning

In this video, Jeri Ellsworth explains the phase accumulators in the c64 SID sound chip. This technique was used in many early synthesizers and sound chips. Jeri Ellsworth is most known for creating the C64 DTV, the all in one joystick emulator in 2004. She is also responsible for designing the FPGA chip of the C-One, so I guess no more introduction is needed, enjoy this master lesson.Use an FPGA

Commodore 64 SID 8580 Basic Sample Pack

Via littlescale comes a basic but handy C64 sample pack. The pack contains samples of every C and G note from C-2 to G 6 for the main basic waveforms of a Commodore 64 (8580 SID chip). The waveforms are triangle, sawtooth, pulse and noise. The duty cycle for the pulse wave was set to approximately 50%. The samples were recorded from C64 hardware directly using a custom designed interface.//
