  1. My #Commodore 1084 #CRT monitor still works - and it’s gorgeous when connected to my #C64 Ultimate. There’s nothing like a tabletop particle accelerator when you want to enjoy some perfectly smooth scrolling and nicely blurred pixels. #Physics for the win.

  6. I had over 3 hours of fun with my #commodore #c64u downloading and playing old games.

    Then I started my
    #steamdeck to play some AC: Shadows from fucking annoying #ubisoft with their Ubisoft Connect torture.

    I couldn't log in because the row to enter the password was not long enough, 1 character short. Can you believe it? Now I changed my password again, but I don't have the time now to try it out, and I am pretty pissed.

    Look, Ubisoft. You want money from customers like me? Stop pissing us off and work for and with us. This login disaster is worth nothing. I get it. You want as much data from the player as possible. But you literally kill gaming with it!

    Do I want to play the upcoming AC: Black Flag Resynced? Yeah, but not on a PC or a similar device. I am waiting until it is available for cheap, and then I will buy it for the console. Probably PS5. You wanna make money? Well, you do not get mine!

    I am probably paying for the new JAMES BOND game. So you get NOTHING! ...

    They also have a nice website redesign. It's a lot cleaner IMO and pretty :)

  8. RE: mastodon.social/@keyboards/116

    IDK if the was different, but I love how the had an NMI key (Non-Maskable Interrupt), the RESTORE key. That means that when you press RESTORE, an interrupt is triggered which can't be ignored in hardware by the computer. (Of course, it can be ignored in software with, I guess, an RTI instruction? #6502 )

    I've used it to mess with programs that are timing-heavy (like demos) or don't seem to have the interrupt vector set up :)

  9. omg i just played two whole games of ghostbusters without remembering how/when to deploy ghost bait 🤦‍♂️ :ghostbusters: #c64u

  10. if you “run disk” 3-4 events into an epic cali-games or skate or die, good bye 👋 #c64u

  11. disk change operations on c64u are fraught because “mount disk” and “run disk” are RIGHT THERE 😭 #c64u

    Everyone who is into the C64 breadbin should consider buying a JiffyDOS turbo loader to avoid very long loading times, either from the original floppy drive hardware or from a USB stick or memory card.

    You can get JiffyDOS here:

    https://jiffydos.de/startseite/49-jiffydos-64-ultimate-rom-overlay-image-standard-pack.html

    The package shown is the full package for the Ultimate 64 ...

  13. #Commodore has released firmware 1.1.0 for the #C64ultimate and it seems to contain the fixes from Gideon's #Ultimate64 3.14d firmware (including more robust #JiffyDOS support) while retaining the more refined system menus from the Commodore branded computers.

  14. Experimenting with #JiffyDOS on my #Ultimate64 - it seems to be pretty hit-or-miss. The webpage had a note recommending what seems to be CIA timing settings:

    > Can I utilize JiffyDOS on the Ultimate II?
    >
    > Yes. Customers have noted that settings PH1=140 and PH2=80 work well.

    I don’t see any way of finding nor tuning these settings, though. Have I misunderstood something?

  15. We're small, but mighty! I've been working on this PETSCII BBS for the Commodore 64 while waiting for my C64Us to come in. Have met some really cool and friendly folks so far. Actively developing too. Added a Gemini protocol browser (1st iteration preview) and a fun little C64 trivia game. More to come! Join us w/ your PETSCII terminal client of choice:

  16. My Commodore 64 Ultimate came with a (SID) copy of 's CyberChip album. It's quite nice. Check it out.

  18. Amando #fpga un #c64u o meglio un #c64ultimate non poteva mancare. Sopratutto non poteva mancare una micro sd ed una pen drive, aggiunta all’interno aumentando spazio d’archiviazione che mai verrà sfruttato. La voglia di sperimentare ed esplorare é tanta.
    Come molto corposo é il manuale ed il menu della #ultimate .
    Comunque scaricare giochi da #bbs.retrocampus.com:6510 é uno spettacolo.
