🚀 1/n This weekend, I unveiled Version 3 of the @SidecarTridge Multi-Device board! Time to dive into what’s new—how I made it better, slimmer, more compact, and even cheaper. Let’s break it down. 🧵👇

It’s not me

We’re living a strange moment in Europe. Public and semi-public services keep getting slower and less reliable, while low-cost ones are catching up. Not always in a bad way, but it says a lot. I’ve stopped using some universal postal providers for some countries because the

Running a store selling your own stuff is great. Rewarding, even. As long as it stays a side project and not your main source of income. There’s always something going wrong. At first I called it “growing pains.” Now I think it’s just how things are. Logistics, tax forms,

Sorry for all the issues in the store this week. 😔👇

Firmware v2 for the #Atari @sidecartridge Multi-device is finally out of beta. Stable, fast, and a big step up. It’s basically a new brain. The architecture was completely overhauled to be more flexible, modular, and easier to work with. Power users and devs are going to love

The @SidecarTridge Kickstart Emulator for #Amiga is finally ready to be shipped to testers across Europe. The SWITCHER application, the program that manages the device, is now on par with the #Atari ST series. It works with every volume type I’ve found so far, from Kickstart 1.2

Floppy, ROM, firmware and microfirmware downloads of SidecarTridge Multidevice affected. Keep calm and let’s AWS guys do their job #hugeops

I think this is a Pyrrhic victory, but in the end, Klarna ruled in my favor in the dispute, despite the buyer initiating it. I don’t know whether the information I provided directly to Klarna made any difference, but the 90 days they initially mentioned ended up being 60 in the

(I love the relationship the English language has with the word “shit.” It’s amazing how many situations in life can be explained with that single word)

Sometimes, when you run an online store and, of course, when you sell your own designs, you really have to give a shit about what you do. If you don’t, things can go downhill fast. There’s no doubt that shit happens. Sometimes you’ll discover that your device isn’t working, it

🇺🇸 Shipping to the U.S. is back 📦✨ After a short pause to adapt to the new U.S. customs regulations, courier companies are ready. And so are we. Starting August 2025, the 🇺🇸 introduced: 1. 📅 New import tariffs (Aug 7) 2. 🚫 Removal of the de minimis exemption (Exec. Order

And yeah! The new USB-PD PSU for the #Atari ST series also works great with the #Amiga A500. The power connector is insanely expensive, but I will probably build some for the store.

🎉 Finally, the #Amiga version of the ROM Emulator (Kickstart Emulator) is working flawlessly with all classic Kickstart versions (1.2 to 3.1) and EmuTOS! It’s been quite a journey to make it compatible with those early Kickstarts… but it’s ready, and units will soon ship to

🎉 The USB-C PD Multi-Rail Power Supply Unit sold out in less than 24 hours. Amazing! Thank you so much for the incredible support 🙌 I’ve already placed a new order, though those premium Panasonic capacitors like to make things interesting by being pricey and often elusive.

From time to time, people ask me how I test the devices before shipping. Yes, every single one is tested ✅ But testing a TOS Emulator is quite different from testing a Multidevice. Let me introduce you to the Kamasutra testing board for the TOS Emulator 😏 This red board sits

The guy came back to Atari-Forum to post even more proud pictures. https://t.co/Yznc5018g1 One of the reasons I didn’t expose him earlier is because I found out he’s, to put it politely, not a very stable person. In my previous professional life I had a company that helped to

The v1 of the firmware blinks Morse codes and you can learn their meaning in the user guide: https://t.co/RvcwrC9AnO The v2 of the firmware does not need to show LED blinking codes. Blinking means error. All the information shows now on screen on the embedded web server.

My Boy Scout side truly believed people would instantly decipher the Sidecart’s LED blinking Morse code and get the hidden letter. Yeah… turns out I overestimated humanity 😅📡💡

🚨 New Hardware Drop for Atari ST Lovers 🚨 We’ve just released a brand-new Sidecartridge TOS Emulator version built specifically for the C070523 motherboard, the one with the ROMs tucked under the internal PSU. 🔧 What’s new: •Ultra low profile design using custom-made pins

A kind reminder: I want to ship to the United States, but due to the current tariff issues, most couriers have suspended deliveries until things are resolved. The latest update is that sellers will soon need to pre-pay the tariff processing fees (not the tariffs themselves).
