Introducing SidecarTridge Multi-Device v3 – Smaller, Stronger, Smarter!

The SidecarTridge Multi-Device v3 is here—the next evolution of the ultimate multi-device emulator for the Atari ST, STE, and Mega series. Now with a more compact design, better performance, and improved connectivity.

  • Smaller & More Compact – A slimmer design makes installation easier while maintaining all functionality.
  • Enhanced Performance & Stability – ENIG PCBs and optimized track layout improve signal integrity and reduce electrical noise, especially in older machines.
  • Improved Power Efficiency – Optimized power handling lowers power consumption without compromising performance.
  • Stronger WiFi Signal – A larger copper window for the WiFi antenna enhances signal strength and reduces interference.
  • Flexible Pico W Integration – Supports direct soldering or reflowing of the Raspberry Pi Pico W for a professional-grade assembly.
  • Expanded Connectivity for Makers – Now includes both JST and classic two-pin connectors to externalize the RESET and SELECT buttons, support UART for developers, and even enable DEBUG access for advanced users.

And of course, 100% backward compatible with the previous version.

SidecarTridge is a state-of-the-art multi-device emulator crafted for the Atari ST, STE, and Mega series. This edition comes with a pre-soldered Raspberry Pi Pico W or a kit of 2x20 female pin headers with a Raspberry Pi Pico W (non soldered).

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, SidecarTridge can evolve to meet any challenge you envision.

    This SidecarTridge Multi-device has two different kits:

    - SidecarTridge PCB board with reflow-soldered Raspberry Pico W. The customer does not need to solder the Pico W.

    - SidecarTridge PCB board with Raspberry Pico WH and female headers. The customer needs to solder the female headers to use the Pico WH.

    Both kits come with the latest firmware installed.

    This product does not contain the USB A to USB micro cable data. You can find a cable in our store.
