Commander X16

I think if you look for “portable color tv radio” you can get some results on eBay... This model is a Contec, but there are other brands. Some are at reasonable prices.   Edit: it seems that the most prevalent ones in the US are the Emersons and the GEs, but those don't seem to have VIDEO and AUDIO...

I wanted a CRT for my retro computers, but I didn’t want to deal with the weight and the size... so I found a 6 inches TV/radio combo for sale, that has video and audio input, and it was cheap! (€10, around $12). i’m really happy with my purchase, and thought you guys may appreciate it. <a href="<f...

Started playing the game back in the day because I read it was similar to Little Computer People... And the masterpiece that is The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild on the weekends. What a won...

I’m reading the book Ben Eater read to learn: Digital Computer Electronics, by Malvino and Brown. If you want to understand how the machine works, how the hardware is structured, it’s an interesting read. Then, you may want to learn 6502 assembler (something I wanted to do since I was a kid). I’m n...

Great job, Perifractic! Looking great!

Randy is amazing! Both the VIC-II Kawari and the BMC64 are wonderful retro projects. And you can see he knows exactly what he’s doing.

You can replace the SID, the PLA, the ROMs and now the VIC-II.

The CPU you can kind of replace with a 65C02. Are there replacements for the 6526 CIAs, though?

Oi brasileiros! Abraços from Spain!

One of the problems retro computers have is trying to connect them to modern TVs. The standard nowadays is HDMI, a very complicated digital protocol, that’s quite complicated to handle (it was discarded from the X16 for this very reason). Well, turns out that if you have an RGB signal, there’s a ch...
