Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

STeem SSE, a very popular ST emulator for Windows, includes HD6301 emulation: https://sourceforge.net/p/steemsse/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/steemsse/3rdparty/6301/ I understand it is based on third party code. I'm not sure what was modified in Steem. I think there is also an ARM MCU based project with HD6...

There is probably enough memory and computing power to do it, but this would take me ages to write and ages to debug.

There are open source implementations, if you are interested.

I see. Some software will not run. A few games and demos require HD6301 emulation. Depending on your goals, you might not care since it is a small minority. But you should probably be aware.

Does you implement a full HD6301 emulator or it works at the IKBD level?

Note that for full compatibility you need HD6301 emulation.

Very sad news. My condolences.

R.I.P.

I would assume if there is a resistance from 5V to 3.3V that it would be pulling the 3.3V higher, not lower. You are right, that makes sense. But take in mind that the low resistance was measured, of course, when the device was turned off. I assume the impedance characteristic is probably quite dif...

I'd assume something is overloading the regulator causing the voltage drop. That's also what I thought. But if the low resistance can only by provoked by the regulator, then isn't the regulator itself what is causing this? I mean, disregard the overloading, when turned off and disconnected there is...

I have a non-working Gotek . It was working fine last time I used, a few months ago. Seems to be a powering issue. The 7-segment display shows the correct HxC setting at power up, but some flickering is perceived. I measured voltages and indeed the 3.3V rail is a bit too low, 2.9V. The input voltage...

Bought the small Hakko extractor and it works really great. A world of difference with the cheap universal extractors.
