At its easiest, the TeensyROM can work as a strategy to load cartridge ROM photos into an actual Commodore 64 or suitable, loaded from the Teensy’s personal flash storage or from a microSD Card or USB storage machine. It could possibly additionally load program information instantly, and at a significantly quicker pace than official Commodore storage gadgets just like the 1541 floppy drive or Datasette cassette tape deck.
That is solely a part of the TeensyROM’s feature-set, although. The machine may also function a MIDI enter or output, permitting you to utilize the Commodore 64’s well-known MOS Expertise 6581 Sound Interface Machine (SID) chip from a USB MIDI keyboard — or to drive an exterior MIDI machine from the Commodore 64 itself. It is also doable to stream MIDI- or SID-format information from a contemporary PC and listen to them performed on the unique {hardware}. Lastly, the gadget additionally affords web connectivity over an Ethernet port — emulating a Swiftlink cartridge with 38.4kbps modem hooked up.
“I selected the Teensy 4.1 for this mission to make the most of all its exterior interface capabilities (USB Host & Machine, SD Card, Ethernet),” Smith explains. “I additionally wished to make use of its many IO [Input/Output] pins to do ‘direct’ interfacing so it may be largely software program outlined.”
The TeensyROM has been printed to GitHub beneath the permissive MIT license with full supply code, {hardware} design information, and a 3D-printable case, with Smith saying it was designed for these “medium expert” at soldering; he’s additionally promoting fully-assembled items on his Tindie retailer for $59.
