could Organ Trail port to the c64, or does it just look like it could? 🤔 #c64 #retrocomputing #RetroGaming #c64u

Today's frustration.

First: this is only on the C64, both using AV and S-Video. It is there regardless of NTSC/PAL

Second: this monitor works just fine with the Mega65 and was also tested using RGB/AV output from a Sega Dreamcast.

Obviously the C64 is new, and the video cable is also new from commodore.net.

According to (barf) Gemini this was a common problem with the Ultimate, but the "help" it's giving me is utter hallucinated bull.

Oh, and I've also tried a safe mode boot with default settings to no avail.

Has anyone run into this? If you did and ESPECIALLY if you fixed it let me know!

I'm good to just HDMI/dvi, but also want to have a relatively authentic experience.

Oh my god I gotta try this new #C64U firmware: reddit.com/r/c64/comments/1rtg

Adds a whole bunch of cool stuff, including keyboard shortcuts for shutting down the machine.

Essentially Chula is like a #C64 game because you’d always get your copy without the instructions.

Let’s see if I can make the C64u Starlight’s keyboard a little less flexi. #3dprinting #c64 #c64u #commodore

Proud to have played a part in inspiring the Starlight Edition of the brand new Commodore 64 Ultimate, a modern and futuristic take that remains true to the spirit of the original.

Official Commodore team has just published a spotlight covering my C64 setup, favourite tracks, and the story behind the connection between this iconic machine and my music.

@afachat OK so the #C64U has whatever computer is overtop the 6502 anyway, so it would have been really sweet to have an ML monitor. ✨

There is fast program loading, if you load a "PRG" directly. And if the program you want is on a floppy, you can (I forget the exact steps but) locate the floppy disk image in the menu, enter it to see its contents (press D?), then select the program that would load first, then select the 'fast-load this program and also mount the disk' option (whatever it was).

@golemwire yes even going back from the UltiPET to the #C64U feels like a step backwards... faster loading? Disk commands? ML monitor built-in? (I'm not even asking for a freeze / memory explorer)...
But with the Command Interface I hope I can make at least GeckOS blazingly fast ... #8bit

My excitement is slowly growing. As I get ready to build out a few new things for my #mega65 and #c64u (namely, Idun and TeensyROM carts) I am getting my repair station built.

Today I have a successful upgrade and integration test with my #Pinecil

I really don't know how I lived before I got my #Pinepower either. These things are so amazing!

Pro tip: I use the alt text to describe things for those who want to deep dive.

My #C64Ultimate arrived at 10pm last night and the first thing I did today was to build my first levels in Wizard in 35+ years. It is actually a passable level. On the fourth try.

Level name: "Distract-A-Rat"

Did you know that the C-64 Ultimate offers OPTICAL OUT for Audio? With that, you can solve many signalling problems you may remember from the original C64. Brilliant ...
