The Commodore 64 Ultimate is the C64 remake enthusiasts deserve, and I’m bracing for a huge microcomputer revival Commodore 64 Ultimate review

Hello friends - here's my review of the Commodore 64 Ultimate, which is practically an actual C64 in every way that matters. www.gamesradar.com/hardware/ret...

Are you using F@xBurner or some free service like that?

I gotta delete that post. That image is horrendous.

Never! /LOL. Stupid AI. This doesn't even look like me, and milk squirt is so bad./

Well, it looks like only the "drop it" part came came true.

Oh, damn. That's too bad.

Yeah, that's probably the best solution. It will be nice for you to have LIPS back in action, even as a regular TV.

Thanks for the photo. Maybe the IC totally died. I see the NXP TDA19997HL/C1 HDMI SELECTOR IC selling on eBay for about $10 US. 🤷‍♂️

Curious, could you post a close-up photo of the chip, itself?

Oh, no. Not the LIPS -- legend! Have you seen this video (for troubleshooting, if nothing else), www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l5O....

Ugh. I have a radio on in the background at work, just to break the monotonous silence. That damn "song"is being played constantly. Every thime I hear that piano intro I know it's time to take a bio break.

Thanks. Yeah, I did a massive reorganization of my bench a couple of months ago. Way more elbow room now.

Finally working on this JVC TM-910SU for a friend. A fine little CRT for retro gaming.

A big thanks to the Chilliwack Retro-Computing Club for inviting me to speak yesterday by live stream to attendees at the club's Retro Computing Expo in Vancouver, BC 🇨🇦. I had a great time and I hope everyone enjoyed my talk about growing up at the dawn of the personal computer.

And then there's me... last week I ordered PCBs to make a diag264 cartridge, and then this past weekend I remembered I ordered these goodies from #TFW8b in April 2019. 🤦

LOL. Yeah, a year's time seems to be my timeline for things lately, too.

Hey @theretrochannel.bsky.social, I've been re-watching your CoCo 2 s-video mod videos – I'm finally pulling my unfininished #SepTandy repair video out of mothballs – did you ever revisit your NTSC CoCo 2 RF modulator conversion? I think part of the issue with my repair case is a dodgy RF modulator.

Well, decided to take on the challenge to repair a friend's old Canon PowerShot G1. Jeez, it's like peeling an onion, a lot of layers and sooooo many tiny screws!

Before your hands get cold... Coincidentally, I just upgraded my old-ish (and ellegedy non-hardware compliant) workbench PC from Win 10 to Win 11 using Flyby11 (github.com/builtbybel/F...). It worked a treat, and the computer runs smoother on Win 11. Just sayin'. 🤷‍♂️

Damn, you are coming up with a lot of great video mod creations these days. Nice work!
