The SideKick64 is a software defined cartridge for the C64. It emulates various cartridge types, loads D64 images & has a freeze button! youtu.be/8UsKFsw3gRs @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social @zoey-pcbway.bsky.social #Commodore64 #commodore #PCBWay #Retro #retrogaming #build

The needed adapter arrived and I took another look at the Sidekick64 for my VIC20, but I discovered the Pi I kept aside for it is a Zero not a Zero 2 🤦🏻 It needs an overclocked Z2 so a Z1 isn’t going to cut it.

Z2 and other bits ordered…

After a bunch of soldering teeny surface-mount components (doing my poor old eyeballs in), my Sidekick64 is done and working beautifully! A very cool little device. #C64 #RetroGaming

Sidekick 64
Today, I'm show-casing the Sidekick64, a Commodore 64 cartridge that’s a time machine and a synthesizer rolled into one. If you’ve ever wanted to give your Commodore 64 superpowers, this is the hardware upgrade you’ve been waiting for.

Been looking into microcontroller-/SBC-based carts for C64 (Sidekick64, SIDkick, Kung Fu Flash, etc.). Last night I dreamed that I was building an Atari 2600 cart that allowed it to emulate a C64 🤪. Anyone wanna collab on the next big thing with me? 🤑

In my previous video, I showed you how a Sidekick64 cartridge for the Commodore 64 could transform your vintage C64. Now, the full journey of bringing this project to life. Starting with the assembled PCBs, adding custom LEDs and through the creation of a custom-designed case.
