Atari ST SideCart Deep Dive

Ойындар

Join me, as I do a deep dive into the exciting Sidecart device for the Atari ST, punctuated with a little 16 bit gaming - well, you've gotta test ;)
I start with very little info or knowledge about the device. We'll see whether it's straightforward to setup, and how it compares to more basic software loading with a Gotek USB drive.
Learn more from the developers site here:
sidecartridge.com/
And this is a great resource for Atari ST hard drive modified games to test with the device:

    Hi, and thanks for watching the channel :) . I used a separate USB Adapter that reads/writes to the sd card and you can put your ST files in a roms floppies or hd folder . Folders need to be named like that to be read by the device, then I just take card out of the usb reader and put it in the sidecart and they were picked up straight away. With the latest firmware you're supposed to be able to drop files on it via micro USB cable as it supports mass storage and can therefore be seen directly on a PC, mac or Linux desktop. I found that out just after finishing the video and have not tested yet, but will (been busy with life ) .
