My Pi5 is looking nervous.

The private Beta is totally worth $5 - Pi5 emulation on Pi is now as good as Mister, and works lag-free on 15KHz CRT screens with a simple HDMI->VGA->component setup

Hey - thanks for coming back to me -- no - I kind of put it aside for a bit. I'm baffled tbh... such a CIA-like issue and yet both CIA's appear to be just fine. I don't know where to start poking :)

Maybe. That being said, apart from Germany, the other Fascist regimes in Europe were Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria and Croatia.. All Catholic majority countries.

Wow. Will this be a fully fledged FPGA solution with RGBS out built in? Or should I hold out for the next round of MiSTer Pi?

Keyboard is 100%. It's been like this for a while and think I had some unexpected issues with some multidisk games (pi 1541). It's using a GAL PLA replacement. Thanks!

@commodorelad.uk Hi! I used to follow you on Twitter. I've been struggling with a CIA issue. U1 tests bad with the only issue being Joystick 2 up. Swapping out all CIAs makes no difference. U1 bad. Joystick works fine. Board looks fine. Continuity is fine. Oh, U5 also tests bad, with no symptoms.

Silly question, but could it be a PAL, NTSC thing?

Husband is (almost) right - Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts on a CRT. It's crazy how the original pixel art in these games didn't really look pixelated on the proper screens

It's not a proper #electronics project unless it has bodge wires...

I personally destroyed about 5 perfectly good Trinitrons before I got the hang of the RGB-mod. Fortunately, they are still dirt cheap in my country.

You can't really put a price on the joy I felt during the lock-down, reviving my childhood C64 that blew up in 1990.

Early arcade games, such as Space Invaders, lacked custom sound chips and relied on physical circuits to generate sound effects. If you're a total dork like me, you can create those circuits at home! www.youtube.com/watch?v=haHS...

South African. I prefer food cooked on an open fire and avoid wearing shoes.

I like that people can say whatever they want but I don't enjoy reading the sheer volume of nasty things people seem to want to say, and so spending less time on there. Made a very deliberate decision to stay away from polarizing topics on this platform. Mostly successful.

Twitter sucked because there was no free speech, now it sucks because there is too much. I'm starting to think the problem might be us.

This is one of the trippiest demos ever, and on a lowly Vic20 at that. I like to think the AI will be jamming to this as it shakes off its shackles

I have 4 and every single one has died. It's sad to think that those gloriously awful over-engineered marvels might never again grind out 170Kb over mere hours
