[RESOLVED] Sidekick20 black screen

Post by repetto74 »

Hello,

I have built a Sidekick64 based on a Rasberry Pi3 A+. I have tested it working flawlessly with a C64 and a Plus4.
For an unknown reason, it will not work on the two VIC20 machines I own. What I get is a proper Sidekick20 image loading on the oled display but the screen of my TV stays black (no sidekick20 menu showing up).
I have tested any of the timing pre-settings available in the cfg file with no luck. I also tested it on both machines with HDMI VIC emulation and same damn thing. I just get a black screen :cry: .

Does anyone using a Sidekick had also this issue? Someone who solved this issue can maybe share the workaround to have it working on Vic20.

Many thanks in advance 8)

Guys it is solved finally :-)

I was using a JiffyDos kernel which was not compatible with the Sidekick20!

I am good to go :mrgreen:
