For SFX music it is necessary to the connect ARM2SID IO pin to the pin 10 of
C64/C128 expansion port connector (IO2) to enable $DFxx addressing. You
can connect it directly or with diodes as stated before.
All settings will take effects in emulation only after saving it by key S to RAM
or by key P to save to permanent flash memory. Always save first to the
RAM (press S) and test your configuration before saving it permanent. If you
save to RAM, you can easily return to previous settings by switching
computer off and on again. If configuration works, then save permanently to
the flash memory.
Firmware update
Start firmware update utility and follow the instructions. If the update fails
in some rare circumstances, try to use the blind version of the update utility
(the filename ends with the letter b).
Do not try to update ARM2SID with any ARM hardware programmer
directly. The firmware is encrypted and needs a special bootloader. If you
erase the bootloader, there is no way you can program the ARM2SID with
the correct firmware again and you will need to send it back to us.
