New video (also the final one for this year)! I found a strange Hi-Fi component on the side of the road and am taking a closer look at it.

Tammy put Vice #C64 #Commodore64 emulator on the 3DS, so I thought I'd see how the latest build of #EatYerGreens felt on handheld.
I hope to release this on C64 before Feb, but end of Feb at the latest.
Not the best quality video, but ya get the idea.

It's fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

Make sure to watch to the end. There’s a bit of a plot twist. ;)

I take the part with the "mirrored numbers" back. Your numbering is correct. Oh boy, this stuff confuses me every single time, sorry! 😬

Technically, pin 1 should be ground but I think it’s not connected in most C64 models, so most power supplies use pin 2 for ground (which seems to be the "standard"). 5V on pin 5 should be correct. The pin numbers are mirrored in your picture though (your numbers would be on the computer side).

Merry Christmas! Hope you have an excellent time! I for one am building a little retro gaming corner in the living room (using my parents' first color TV that miraculously still works fine after 45 years). 🎄🫶

Oh, nice! The higher-end 040, even! Does yours still have the 68030 on the board or is it one where they left the unused CPU out? (I at least read they had both processors in some of the earlier 040 units)

Why is it called "AI" and not "the great brain robbery"?
