Commander X16

Jimmy: I'm still waiting on the latest revision of the controller PCBs to arrive. They should arrive by early next week I expect. Once I've tested it works with the Uzebox at least (I'd be surprised if it has broken since the previous version) then I'll send you a PCB. Have you received your Uzebox ...

Jimmy: Good to hear you are building another Uzebox and testing this controller on the X16! I think you'll have more luck with the Omega as it doesn't require the AD725 which is not only the most expensive component of the original Uzebox but also seems to be source of most of the issues as well as ...

Does anyone else own both a Uzebox and a X16?

Uzebox forum members have created an open source arcade style joystick controller for the Uzebox https://uzebox.org/wiki/Joystick Its easier to build than the open source SNES joypad PCB as there is no SMD soldering required. We presumed it would also work on the SNES but I finally tested it with a ...

I wrote a guide on replacing the PCB of the cheap clone SNES controllers available on Amazon and Aliexpress with Bob's open source SNES controller PCB:

Has anyone has tested these controller PCBs with the X16 yet?

The only people asking that are those who don't understand how much compute resources it takes to emulate one machine at full speed on another. It also stems from the fact the the X16 is a new platform yet we've been able to play Mega Drive, C64 games etc on smart phones and similar devices for abou...

I wouldn't use HP anything, especially their printers.

HP printers used to be great a decade or so ago, now they're wretched cons of a product. Brother printers are spot on.

Ah yes! BASTERM

It's only 140 LOC too. Nice!

Thanks ahenry!

I have looked at the list of X16 BASIC commands on github and I don't see any commands for using the serial port card.

Is support for accessing the serial port using BASIC a planned feature? Maybe its already possible using POKEs?

I have already created an open source replacement for the Super Advantage:

This PCB could be used as the guts for my joystick instead of butchering a SNES controller.
