Where did you get your Sidekick64? How to get one? (please read below)

This is version 0.51d which includes some bugfixes/minor additions (compared to 0.51c):

  • Eye of the Beholder: fix for NTSC C64 and C128 incl. turbo mode (might need timing adjustments, look at sidekick64.cfg)
  • Tuned Simons Basic (Magic Desk cart) fixed
  • SID/FM-emulation HDMI-output fixed
  • added support for second FM-digi-channel

Sidekick64 v0.51 features/updates:

MOD/YM/WAV Player (up to 48kHz stereo with dual SID-setups)
low-latency HDMI-audio output for SID-/FM-/MIDI-emulation
added YM3526/OPL sample playing emulation
user-defined Logos for freezers/kernals
hiding C128-specific folders on C64
fixed GeoRAM not-saving-bug

Note:
If you overwrite your existing SD-card, make sure to add this line to config.txt: hdmi_force_hotplug=1
when using a SIDKick with the audio player: update your SIDKick-firmware
if you downloaded this release before Sep 01, please take this version (.zip contained a wrong file, causing some PRGs to not start correctly)

You’ve built it yourself? Cool, this project is for tinkerers!

If you have questions about assembling one, don't hesitate to ask!

If you can’t build one yourself, there are official sellers of Sidekick64/RAD/SIDKick: www.restore-store.de (all three projects), www.retro-updates.com (Sidekick64), jamessahm/ebay (RAD), stmlord/ebay (Sidekick64/RAD)

It is also perfectly fine and appreciated if someone sells spare PCBs (populated or not) of a PCB-order or manufactures a small batch and offers them on a forum, but I expect the price tag to be lower than that of the aforementioned official sellers.

If you bought a Sidekick64/RAD/SIDKick for the same price or even more, this clearly is a violation of the license and you should ask the seller why they are not respecting open source/CC developers' licenses.
