@root42 #PCBWay sent me this picture at time of construction with the caption "U1 cannot insert totally because of two pin headers , pls confirm".
That's the socket for the TED, though, so I guess it shouldn't affect the RAM.
Sometimes it shows garbage on start, sometimes just a black screen. I'll leave it in, disabled.
Uh oh, that is not good. The second unit gives me a black screen with the expansion installed. I pushed in the RAM chips and got some junk on the screen instead.
Moving the jumper to 16K makes it boot up again, so at least I didn't kill the TED chip (I *did* bend its legs slightly on extraction, so I was worried).
So, are the RAM chips on the Fixteen bag, or the assembly? I have no clue. I'll lend it in, but turned off. At least the other one works fine.
So, does this make it a Commodore 64? Or maybe a Commodore Minus 4?
Spurred by the fact that I found a working #commodore16, I decided to investigate the memory expansion thing a bit.
There are commercial solutions. There are DIY solder-on-board solutions, there's this very nice plug-n-play solution : https://github.com/SukkoPera/Fixteen
My only thing with the 'Fixteen' is that it recreates most of the mux circuit, plus uses DRAMs...
I wonder if I could do without the mux and attach SRAM directly.
This is the schematic I came up with.
Would still be plug-n-play, but with SRAMs...
Ok, this is even more surprising than the working SNES.
The #Commodore16 actually starts up and shows a picture.
... maybe they connected the RF output to composite input in the TV to test it?
Found at the #fleamarket today. These were all junked, here is how they were sold:
- Power light only from the #SNES (I bet a dead PPU or CPU)
- #Megadrive 2 in unknown conditions (seller did not have any accessory). The pokemon decals on it are especially ironic.
- #Playstation(s) no power or unable to read discs
- #Commodore16 is "dead"
No time to check them myself now.
I have cats to feed, mushrooms to cook and keycaps to label.

Esta nueva versión del arcade "Green Beret" supera con creces la adaptación oficial que se hizo en su día para el Commodore 16. Un auténtico horror.
¡Enhorabuena a Arlasoft por este remake!

This one doesn't give any signs of life. No power LED, no serial bus reset, nothing.
I'm not sure I tested it when I got it, or if I only tested the other unit.
Hmm, neither the #CommodorePlus4 nor the #Commodore16 can see the SD2IEC over serial. The Plus/4 doesn't see anything on cassette, and when I connect either Datasette (I have two) to the C16, the screen goes all weird.
I don't think either of these are quite healthy.
Death Sector - A rather decent sci-fi themed arcade puzzler for the Commodore Plus/4 or 64K expanded C16/C116 👇

Death Sector è stato pubblicato qualche ora fa. Da una preview del 1992 con sprite rubati e fondali banali, in una parabola di 15 anni, Csabo KiCHY e Unreal tirano fuori un puzzler arcade-adventure dotato di una storia sci-fi avvincente, grafica convincente con effetti a sorpresa, 21 brani che si adattano dinamicamente al gioco, collisioni al pixel, 4 criteri di finale, 4 livelli di difficoltà, un bad ending segreto.
Day 2 at @nerdlandbe . We needed to update some of the documentation to remove confusion. #commodore64 #commodore16 #magritte #nerdlandfestival
