For your listening pleasure USBSID-Player has been integrated into Deepsid. You listen to the newest SID files on Deepsid or your own directory of sidtunes via the Configtool website. No USBSID? No problem! Just choose the ResidFp option for direct audio out.

When not one, but two (clone) boards have you running around in circles due to erratic behaviour and strange flash issues. It turned out both pico's had a faulty schottky diode and one of them a burned out regulator, nice, cost me two days. Spot the fix 🤭 #fixed #usbsid #retro

Testing testing testing the best bootup and detection routines until the desync is gone 🎶 and then I burned my finger on a v1.4 pcb (reject version) 🔥🤣 #usbsid #retro #chiptunes

Cramming so much parts into small spaces does not make it look better. Especially when you have some form of pcb layout ocd 🙄
Switching to #kicad v10 half way through wasn't the best idea either.
