This evening’s project is an RF modulator replacement on this short board. It sure is tiny. #commodore #c64
Two months of eBay patience paid off. First edition.
I’ve been quietly working on an avionics product as a side hustle for quite some time. Today the hardware prototype build starts. #fpga
No, I’m not retro righting these two. In my mind, they earned this color. #commodore #c64 #tandy
This BASIC program by Raeto Collin West has been a HUGE help in understanding the SID controls. Allows you to toggle bits with the space bar in real time. Game sound effects are no longer black magic
This screen starts like this and gets better as it warms up. Time to hunt down some bad capacitors.
I’m VERY bullish on the Mega 65 in large part because they kept the C64 compatibility. It really could be my “one machine”. With zero effort my standard dev environment just works (minus REU for now).
Going to take a short detour this evening to look deeper at the Mega 65. Rather than get to crazy with my keymap problem I just designated an old keyboard as the Mega emulator and put stickers in places that aren’t standard. Next is picking an assembler.
It took a lot of eBay patience to get a copy of this for a reasonable price. It’s been a wonderfully challenging read. Hat tip to @8BitShowAndTell for introducing me to it. #commodore #c64
Just ordered a couple RF Modulator replacements. One for my 128 and the other for this 64C.That’s some impressive color bleed ;-) My breadbin got the @craig1black capacitor trick and it’s working great. This 64C, not so much.
