SidecarT is a state-of-the-art cartridge ROM emulator crafted for the Atari ST, STE, and Mega series. This particular model is tailored towards developers, offering enhanced features such as debugging and logging capabilities through its connectors.
It leverages the robust capabilities of the RP2040 microcontroller found in the Raspberry Pi Pico, enabling it to:
- Emulate both 64Kbyte and 128Kbyte ROMs by simply loading the binary files from a microSD card or via a Wi-Fi connection.
- Interact with the cartridge bus in real-time for data reading and writing, which allows for seamless emulation of different devices. Please read the documentation for the current list of devices.
- Dive into a realm of possibilities limited only by your creativity. Thanks to its open architecture and the open-source code available here, SidecarT can evolve to meet any challenge you envision.
This SidecarT product includes: - SidecarT PCB board with manually soldered female headers for the Raspberry Pi Pico W or WH and UART connection.
- Raspberry Pi Pico WH with JST connector tailored for the Serial Wire Debug (SWD) slot labeled 'DEBUG' at the board's end. This design allows effortless connectivity to the Raspberry Pi Debug probe, enabling seamless development on the Sidecart combined with the Raspberry Pi Pico WH.
- USB 2.0 male (Type A) to USB 2.0 micro male (Type B) Hi-Speed Data Cable. Black. 30cm.
