Antichambre Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) All about midibox TIA !Hi everybody, I'm sorry for the wait, some of you would not believe it. But. Here we are! You will find on the wiki all the "Cartridge" completed. Some of you will find their nickname in the bulk order list. If you still wish it, complete the options if not erase your line. And I will calculate final price for each one of you asap. Best regards Antichambre Edited October 10, 2016 by Antichambre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eptheca Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I finished mine last night, and will spend today playing around with the Max/MSP manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antichambre Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) I'm probably a bit nostalgic for a time I played the game console in the living room of my parent. Need electronic sounds that have traumatized my childhood.The Atari 2600. I started this project 5 years ago. The first prototype I built was too big and too expensive to manufacture and not programmed into MIOS: A friend of mine recently reminded me that I had promised to make one for him(another nostalgic). So I resumed work in late 2010, after checking that no one already did. The first question was whether I was able to program it into MIOS. I tried and succeeded. Then I searched for housing. Why not in a game cartridge of the era!!! So i try it too. AND it fits in the box. The 2010 Proto Edited June 8, 2013 by Antichambre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antichambre Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I've just discovered how to write in dokuwiki, i'm on it... :rolleyes: How share firmware too in svn ? (Xcode Dev) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 How share firmware too in svn ? (Xcode Dev) Just apply @ TK. to gain access to the restricted and hidden dungeons of the MIDIbox forums, where all the creepy figures hang out :) (aka the Programmers Lounge). There you can apply for SVN access and finally commit your code to be appreciated by the future generations of MIDIboxers :) Many greets, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 @Antichambre: you are now registered as a programmer, more details about SVN write access in the lounge Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antichambre Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 What organization! What team! If my staff had been as good as you, the company I worked for would never closed... I'm very proud to be officially a midibox programmer. Thank you. I'm the king of the world... :queen: hihi ...Seriously It makes me really happy. I hope you will appreciate my work too.

nILS Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 That's actually not a promotion, just something you have to ask for to prevent loads of "spam" in the programming section - just a note in case some programmers feel left out :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 WELL DONE!!! Your project is very near and dear to my heart, Thank you for such a fine project.

Antichambre Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) I wanted to clean it before publishing, and file it in SVN. But I have not had time. ... No matter This first version compiles two setup. - One for the base version, for wiki schematics(TK style). - One for the cartridge version. Now on the wiki : Firmware v1 There's extra tools too for testing your board, interconnection and testtone! You can control it by midi. see midi table in doc folder. But it will be much easier and more intuitive with the MAX Manager There's inside an mxf file to open with Max Runtime (PC and MAC user) and the same manager in app for Mac user only. This part is on my google drive cause it's too big for the wiki media manager. Here : Manager connect and switch on the mb-tia before launch the manager it will scan your midi interface and find the box ;) Have a good time with it :) Edited June 17, 2018 by Antichambre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antichambre Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Oh i forgot to say that the manager is iPad ready! Just download c74 app from your app store. Edited January 30, 2014 by Antichambre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrubber Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hey man! Just wondered if someone could clear up for me whats going on with J2 (Audio Out) on the schematic... I having problems with the interface that is connected after the 10uf caps (C2 C3), where does the A1 and A0 come from? Is it the TIA A0 and A0 pins (31,32)? Or is it just to help understand the 3 configurations for the different TIA chips? So if I have and PAL TIA I should connect all the pins like the configuration (in blue) and take the outputs from the white (R2, A1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eptheca Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 The Audio out comes from TIA pins AUD0 and AUD1 (pins 13&12) on the NTSC and only from AUD0 (pin13) on the PAL The PAL version has a mono output, so in the schem. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=&media=mbhp_tia_v1.jpg it looks like its an error, and that you should put a jumper between A1 & R2, Hope that explains it Good luck :) I really like the TIA, mostly for EFX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antichambre Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Eptheca is right on a PAL pin 12 is for video carrier, don't use it! The two voices Aud0/Aud1 are mixed internally and outputted on pin 13. A0/A1 (pin 31/32) are the LSB adress bus and must be connected to the shift register. I made a mistake on the schematics, the blue jumper is on A1/R2 for PAL one, sorry. Edited January 31, 2014 by Antichambre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Screwy Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi I'm a newbie here and to electronics in general. I've already been tinkering with old C64's using mssiah cartridge and soon come synthcart (as it's simpler for what I want to use them for). I'm about to go down a similar line with the Atari 2600 but want to ideally play it with a midi keyboard. Is there anywhere I can buy a Midi box to do this? Does anyone fancy making me one? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrubber Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) it's all about making one dude! it will be all that more loved when completed with your own hands and much to be learned along the way! just jump in with a core module and a TIA chip! Anyone in UK flash me MIOS 1.9 to my PIC as I cannot update using my 'ancient' PCB's and JM module? I have a spare 2002 SID module PCB in sweet condition for exchange, or some vinyl and tings? maybe a few quid... Need this desperate to get the TIA firmware up on my core and start making music! it's all waiting patiently in the 2600 case ;) Edited February 6, 2014 by scrubber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eptheca Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I got this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/iCP02v2-USB-Microchip-PIC-dsPIC-EEPROM-ICSP-Programmer-with-PICkit2-MPLAB-SW-/390553998043?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5aeed512db I can flash it for you, but I am in Norway (the worlds most expensive country) postage and time will probably put you off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
