Sid BLOCKED: loops the startup sound

MIDIbox SID
1

Hello,

I just set up my first midibox Sid without cs that I plan to integrate into a midibox64 piano.

Its works ok with sidplayer (considering I havent the right capacitors yet) and plays the melodies.

The problem comes in when I install “setup_8580_without_cs.syx”

Here’s what happens:

It seems to Lock on the startup sound.

Anyone experienced this problem?

My current setup:

MIOS V 1.7

8580 sid chip

Many thanks in advance

Best regards,

Alkex

Hi Alkex,

it seems that the MBSID application tries to initialize the BankStick. You should hear 128 “peeps”, thereafter everything should be ok.

If you haven’t connected a BankStick, you possibly forgot the 1k Pull-Up at pin RA4?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Thanks thorsten!

You are exactly right, I had forgotten the pullup,

unfortunatly, it looks like I’ll be on the lookout for another chip though,

i was monitoring the chip directly from audio out pin and blew it up when I pluged the jack in (obviously made a connection with ground for a fraction of a second), very bad idea!

Best regards and thanks again for the support
