Ok, so after a wait of over a year. (Which quite a bit was MY fault).. :) I have my megacart, and the one thing I've got to say about it is, that while the cart is nice (understatement), the care you put into the presentation and box are the best parts. I love it. Great work, and well worth the wait...

Vic was my first, so I have a couple, but then I also have most of the commodore 8bits, from the pets to the 128. I use the 128 the most, I prefer the keyboard on it compared to a breadbin 64. It's suprising how different and at the same time how similar the commodore line was thru all the different...

If you have a 1541 handy, you can test using a 6522 from it.
(They have 2 also.)

Thank you!

I would just get a uiec. The tape drives use a digital signal into the computer, so it requires some hardware besides a cable to get that kind of interface working. The uiec is a sd card based disk drive simulator solution. http://store.go4retro.com/products/uIEC_SD.html You would need the uiec, sd ...

Five years ago, it took a lot of arm-twisting of my teenage nephews just to make them play a few MAME games on a custom arcade cabinet. While there was initial curiosity of the homebrew machine, controllers, and its frontend to explore, once they played a few games, they got bored and were turned o...

I have had that problem with a couple of vics. Is it the model with the 2 prong power cable? If so I've had to replace the power switch. Black screen, but the led lights.

You can test by jumpering the switch out of the circuit. Just add a couple of wires to the underside of the board.

I tried a cheap mp3 player and cassette adapter for my pet 2001 and it could find the file, but never would load. I think the mp3 player I was trying had a eq I could not disable. Still looking for a good portable solution for that. I need to just get a extension cord for my pc to try straight out o...
