Milkmansound Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hello all! I have been really excited lately, since I have decided to build a Midibox Sid into an old ammo case. With the help of SmashTV's site, and the midibox site I am just about ready to begin designing, and my 64's are on the way. I have one question though - has anyone loaded the firmware with OSX? Or from a mac? Is there a standard midi file version of the firmware? (and I guess the Sid app...)Thanks in advance for any info! - Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickw Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hi I'm on a Mac. I had to get the MIOS bootstrap loaded from a pc (I tried a usb - serial device on the mac running virtual pc but I suspect it didn't have a high enough voltage to actually burn the chip.Once the MIOS is loaded you can send the sysex files over MIDI using SYSEX Librarian from www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/ there are full versions in the downloads that can simply be downloaded onto the chip (the .syx file) , but you can alter them in MPLAB in virtual pc and then load them if you want to tweak it.CheersNickw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
