  • Modding a Commodore 64 for HDMI!

    Does your Commodore 64 output pixel-perfect HDMI? Because mine does.

    Thank you so much to Side Projects Lab for making this awesome kit. You can find out more at the GitHub for the project: https://github.com/sideprojectslab/HD-64/.

    I bought this one myself for €109, from Retro 8-Bit Shop: https://www.retro8bitshop.com/product/spl-hd-64/.

    You can also buy one from retro-updates.com: https://www.retro-updates.com/product/17245372/hd-64-commodore-64-hdmi-output-fpga

    If you buy the kit, make sure to buy it from one of these two places. This video isn't sponsored, but it's a kind thing to buy this from a reseller that's working with the developer. Let's support cool projects like this.

    Speaking of cool projects... I got my purple Retro Fuzion case from the initial crowdfund, but it looks like you can still buy them here: https://www.retrofuzion.com/products/breadbin-case-set.

    If you need a new VIC-II, a good option if you can get it is the VIC-II Kawari, which will also hook you up with HDMI video out: https://accentual.com/vicii-kawari/

    If you already have invested in an RGBtoHDMI setup, or just don't like soldering, I really like C0pperdragon's LumaCode project, and you can find out more at https://www.tindie.com/products/c0pperdragon/vic-ii-dizer/. Note that the LumaCode will need an RGBtoHDMI setup to work (unlike the build featured in today's video).

    Lastly: these videos take forever to make and I rely on community support to make Veronica Explains happen. Monthly supporters get access to my Discord/Matrix room, and my immense gratitude:

      Un vídeo corto para conocer vuestra opinión. No os voy a mentir, nunca me han gustado los coches americanos pero con esta serie estoy cogiéndoles cariño.

      ¿Cuál es el mejor deportivo americano de los 90s-2000s? Tenemos duros contendientes: La leyenda del Viper, el nuevo Ford GT, la renovada generación C5 del Corvette...¿Qué coche acabará conduciendo Vel?

      A veces el coche más rápido no es el mejor o sí
