This expansion card is an evolution of the Symbiface 3.
[[File:RSF3.jpg]]
= Features =
*2 MB of RAM.
*2 Mo de ROM.
*TFT touch screen with stylus.
*480 MHz 2-core processor.
*USB port for storage.
*USB port for mouse (Multiplay).
*microSD port for system and settings.
*2 slots for MX4 cards (DC3 connector).
*MP3 module + FM radio (equivalent to an MSX SE-One card).
*Output for FM radio antenna.
*Headphone & microphone input/output for VOIP.
*MIDI audio input/output.
*DAC analog audio output.
*Wifi with antenna (speed 2 MB/s).
*RTC clock for real-time date and time.
*Duke M4 Board emulation (partially).
*Infra-red port.
*Reset button.
= Parameters available during the initialization =
*Activation of a chime at startup: ON/OFF.
*Pen sound on touch screen: ON/OFF.
*Activation of the integrated 2 MB memory expansion: ON/OFF.
*Function that can be deactivated if an application or game is not compatible.
*Or if you want to use another memory extension on an MX4 slot. Warning: do not activate the integrated 2 MB memory extension of the RSF3, at the same time as another external memory extension on an MX4 slot.
*464 Memory hack: ON/OFF.
*If RSF3 is used on a CPC 464, use the patch by @ToTO to take into account the memory extension.
*Substitution of ROM 7: ON/OFF
*Allows you to replace the original Amsdos ROM 7 with another stored on the RSF3. Warning: not compatible with all CPCs. May cause hardware conflict with Z80 data bus.
*SE-One: ON/OFF.
*Allows you to activate the emulation of the MSX SE-One card, which offers an MP3 decoder (with playback of other formats such as AAC, MP4, M4A, WMA, WAV, MID, OGG) + an FM radio.
*Symbiface II: ON/OFF.
*Allows you to activate or not the compatibility mode with the Symbiface II.
*Multiplay mouse: ON/OFF.
*Allows you to enable or disable USB mouse support.
*GMT time zone: to set the time offset, based on the time zone.
= Miscellaneous =
The RSF3 also contains the following elements:
*Emulation of older interfaces like the SSA-1 speech synthesizer, the Amdrum, and the Digiblaster. With programs for each of these interfaces to use them.
*A "System Information" application which summarizes the detailed information of the RSF3 (firmware version, Wifi and network information, activated rombank and list of roms with their positions, the activation status/or not of the M4, the SE -One, CPC 464 hack, Multiplay, SF2, etc.
*A drawing application for the stylus.
*A “Post-it” application to write whatever you want, like a memory aid.
The 2 MX4 slots are more than sufficient given that with the RSF3 you don't need to have as many as a Mother X4 given that it already includes:
*a 2 MB memory extension (can be deactivated if necessary): no need to add another one.
*255 rombanks: no need to add 1 rombank.
*M4 Board emulation: no need to add the card of the same name.
*Hacker v7.0 in a dedicated rombank: no need to add the card of the same name.
*support for a USB mouse: no need to add a Multiplay or an Albireo.
*an RTC clock: no need to add a Nova extension or equivalent.
*emulation of old audio devices/cards, etc.
