This video is kindly sponsored by PCBway. Please visit www.PCBway.com for all your PCB and 3D printing needs. Thank you PCBWay ;-)
In this video we explore the SIDKickPico, the coolest SID replacement for under $10 ... and it can have built in games!
I did not mention this in the video, but there is a second version of the PCB which has a built in DAC. It was not available as an assembled board when I ordered mine, but it is now. Use the Revision 2 firmware(s) for this one. The difference is, that you don't need the separate DAC board. Everything else works the same! You can find it here:

This video is exactly what I was looking for! Great explanation of how to patch the firmware to add PRGs. I also love that you included the trouble shooting process to show that it wasn't a linear process and that it took some work. Much appreciated!

Great video and I followed the instructions to have PCBWay make up the PCBs - what a nightmare! They want confirmations to emails that they never sent, no updates via the message centre either. After about 3.5 weeks finally get the pictures of the build so hopefully, they are not far away from shipping. PCBWay seem good when ordering blank PCBs but this experience with ordering a built PCB has put me off ordering similar from them again.

Sorry to hear that. And indeed, having PCBWay populate the boards is much more involved than just getting the plain boards. On the other hand the process of building these with all the different components out there is not an easy task ... especially when you only have minutes to check the parts. It sometimes takes me hours or days to source materials and check how something has to be built.

Great video. Next time you might zoom in when showing the Windows screens. It is very hard to read.

I need to watch this later on, but looks again like a nice unique video!

@The_Retro_Dungeon 2 месяца назад

The .2 firmware has a bug that messes up sid type selection on ntsc machines. Also, there are 2 versions of sidkick available now that have the dac implemented on the sidkick pcb. Great project! Great video too!

@RetroWK 2 месяца назад

Yep. I will go into the details in part 2.

Using a breadboard could help soldering too ;-)

I ain't put no Pie in ma Breadbin! Edit: Just kidding - very cool thing actually and incredibly cheap indeed.

I recently learned about this adding games feature in a C64 FB group and wondered how I missed it before, now I see it is actually a new feature that came with 0.2xx firmware release. I find your video a bit confusing though. Hardware (PCB) versions got mixed up, in the initial firmware install after the build, you used the ones for the old PCB version, but after that when you wanted the demonstrate the programs function you used the firmware for the new PCB. That may be the reason your new build did not work if your board is the old version... Also there is no mention of it is required to use the older (0.200) firmware instead of 0.201 for the programs function in the Github. And by the way, it seems version 0.202 is already out.

@RetroWK 2 месяца назад

I will go into the details of that in part 2. I tried Version 1 and 2 firmware, none worked. I just mixed them in editing.

@iguanac6466 2 месяца назад

It would be interesting to design a version of this that had the PICO integrated on the PCBWay board like the PicoGUS card has done. PCBWay could just place all the components that way.

@RetroWK 2 месяца назад

Yep. He did that with the DAC already.

@ingodiekmann8321 2 месяца назад

Cool video, thx. I wanted to place an order right away, but in my case 10 assembled pcbs cost 93,00 USD plus shipping 12,00 USD inkl. Tax to germany and plus 3,00 EUR for the pi pico. I have all working SIDs in my machines so I discarted the order by now. But cool idea.

@RetroWK 2 месяца назад

Seems like the role the dice every time someone wants to have these assembled. I get no discount, so … no idea why it‘s more expensive. Did you by any chance use the V2 with the built in DAC?

@ingodiekmann8321 2 месяца назад

@@RetroWK No surely i did not. But i probably will. It is such a nice project, and a few bucks more or less is not a big thing, right? 😉

@joopidema 2 месяца назад

You probably get discount form PcbWay? Cause when I order 10 from them it cost $7,70 a piece (all costs included). That is for a assembled SidKick Pico without pinheaders and Pi Pico.

@RetroWK 2 месяца назад

Nope. No discounts for me. Seems they really role the dice every time (see other comment).
