Smithy Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I would like to ask the Community what are your thoughts on the Quadra Sid Emulation of the Chip?TK especially! ;)I would love to see a comparison actually, of QuadraSid, ReSid, and that Tracker that used the Resid engine.if someone knows of a site please post a linky.

buhler Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Are these the right AVR's?ATmega8515foona, did you ever find out about these AVR's? i want to build a SwinSID to replace the 2 sids i have in my C64 so i can use them in another MbSID!! :P ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foona Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have no idea.They look like the right ones Buhler, but i never got an answer to my question.I don't like purchasing stuff when im not shure.But then again..they do look like the ones.I would really like if somone with "AVR experience" could come and give us a pointer.I needs to build it too dawg! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foona Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Looks like it yeah.Only problem is, i'll have to wait a whole month,before i can purchase those ATmel AVR's.Since i lost my job, moneys been hard to come by.So..looks like you're gonna finish before me.

stryd_one Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Since i lost my job, moneys been hard to come by.Ouch, bad luck bro.I hope you find it soon.(sorry had to joke about it...what else is there to do? :( hang in there buddy!)

swinkels Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 You should use ATMEGA8515 with 16PU or 16PI ending. 8PU is 8MHz version and may not work correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seppoman Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 BTW swinkels, have you thought about using another AVR variant? The 8515 is one of the really ancient oldsters in Atmel's portfolio - e.g. the ATMega 164P has twice the flash memory and can officially be clocked at 20MHz, which also would give a better feeling when overclocking it to 24 MHz. Another good one would be the 88P/168P/328P series, which is like the 164P but in space saving DIP28 package. Both have nearly double RAM size (1k, 328P even 2k)which could come handy when new features are implemented.Don't get me wrong, I have no problem in buying or flashing 8515s, just this project has now come to a point where PCBs are laid out and a lot of people will probably soon start building it. So I'd find it a good idea to switch to a more modern (or even smaller) AVR now instead of being forced to in one or two years if Atmel decides against producing such an old device any longer.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swinkels Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 ATMEGA8518 is really not so ancient as you think. Its memory is filled in a half only so there is no real need for switching now. This AVR has one advantage over new ones - three additional I/O pins used to transfer data with slave AVR in SwinSID X2. They are used in the latest SwinSID 1024 too. Switching to smaller AVR limits us to single AVR only. I can see only one real succesor of the ATMega8515 - ATMega162. It has the same pinout but twice the RAM and ROM memory.
