UltiSID is released publicly and is now tested:

You can also order PCBs almost assembled using JLCPCB order files provided in the repository.
New UltiSID is highly inspired by Kung Fu Flash – and commonly, it is a Kung Fu Flash with a special firmware(Kung Fu SID, included as a submodule)

Video:

https://youtube.com/shorts/YMMjhMZqSjQ?feature=share – small video of new hardware and software working on a real C64.

By the way, I have 4 extra chips and I can send/sell them somewhere if someone wants to check them out.
As it was declared initially, UltiSID is completely free and open-source even for commercial purposes (GPLv3 license)
I will be happy if someone will improve the project or add some new functions to it. It still lacks paddles, but new hardware supports it.
As well, there is an OpAmp on output cascade, and output is completely generated by DAC, not PWM as on SwinSID – which ensures smooth and good generation of sound. I still need some optimization of code.

There are no hard flaws as it was before on the previous revision of the hardware. It processes data and it is possible to read it back, it works stable.

I would also be happy for any donation:
PayPal is unfortunately banned in Russia, as Russia resident I am unable to use it, even if I’m not in Russia actually(as it is)

PHOL-LABS update 10/06/2020

Hello!

Several updates and news:

We’ve switched to HTTPS protocol for our website, so it is much more secure than before.

During COVID-19 we keep dispatching parcels, however, Russian Post is keeping parcels at Russian border because there are very few airplanes.

Domestic shipping works very well.

Upcoming products: Amiga boards, Synths, RF-boards, High Voltage boards, some new cartridges for C64.

Best regards,

PHOL-LABS team

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

In the new year we will start developing brand-new electronics, not only retro-related, but also meteorological sensors, high-voltage electronics and radio-frequency DIY kits.

The last year had brought to us so many hopes and achievments. I hope every of us can continue this line and we can make the great future together!

 

Thanks for the orders everybody who was here!
