Great idea, thank you :) What about Stereo SID Support, will the improved Cynthcart MIDII version also support multiple SID addresses please?

This looks promising, hopefully you'll get enough support to justify making more units in the future!

Such a great concept. Combining both multi rom and midi in one cart is just perfect! So does the MIDI version of cynthcart have any CC control similar to MidiNES?

I gave a tip to hackaday and it was featured: [Link removed] and I posted it on some forums, Facebook groups and Google Plus. It was already mentioned on reddit, lemon and other forums. I don't think it would be good to write about it on the mssiah forum, because their forum is only for mssiah. I might get in trouble if I use their forum to advertise my cartridge and would be not fair.

Now the project is in the funding phase and you can claim your rewards (more than one reward is possible, please choose the right shipping reward). Currently I'm improving the circuit, so that no jumpers are needed anymore for configuring the MIDI emulation and the MIDI-out/thru selection. And another claim is available: Cynthcart. This program is free, but I'm developing a MIDI interface with the author for it, which you can buy pre-installed on the cartridge for additional EUR 5. Last but not least, EA has answered my question, I'm allowed to pre-install one of my favorite old game on the cartridge, too, Archon 2 (see [Link removed] for a video of it, two player mode is really fun).

Status LEDs sind nicht geplant. Die meisten USB-MIDI-Adapter haben aber LEDs, sodaß man es vom PC aus testen könnte. Werde am besten auch in die PC-Software auch noch was einbauen. In der aktuellen Version kann die Software neben der Übertragung der C64-Programme bereits Note-On und Note-Off Events per Button schicken, zum Testen von beliebiger Software auf dem C64. Ein Fenster was MIDI-in Daten anzeigt wäre wahrscheinlich noch sinnvoll.

hi! wird es auch status led's geben um zu sehen ob daten empfangen/gesendet werden falls es auf dem c64/software nicht funktioniert um evtl. fehler auszuschliessen?
