well :

https://www.c64psu.com/

we dare to recommend it - and we are not sponsored or affiliated, if you own something thats akin to an artefact of a religion that deserves to be one more than the spaghetti monster (certainly has more followers) your original PSU can kill that thing stone dead - THIS, my dear and good frend Garibaldi, is salvation.

If you're serious about artefacts, you treat them with respect ...

SO ONE THING HERE : if WE recommend something , you can at least be sure its not because they pay us to do it

thats why there's a lot of ass and fuck, also because fuck dont mean shit and this is not america - it says "not for kids" btw everywhere - we know how sensitive the 2022 puritan wave is (and we dont like it, and we dont care) so we separate

The psu from poland arrived - and we have to say, thats some quality craftsmanship for a real good price . Even if DPD stlil has a bit of a booboo with this whole "the world is international" thing (their tracking ... this time the link to the site in poland showed "out of poland - in transit" still while when i got the idea of checking the belgian one it said "package in -depot near you-" so they forgot to update the polish site ... which means they keep different kind of track, which , to us

sounds fairly inefficient and not very cost-effective either, good for the economy tho as 2 people get to get paid for working on a site i.o one (unless you thought they'd pay a studio to do that ? in 2022 its probablly the cleaning guy who has a phd in IT and was hired b/c he's willing to clean for cleanermoney while maintaining the site after hours ... you think its just amazon huh ?)




















conclusion ?


these vids will be "unlisted" and are for use in steemit posts only -

we are not "a youtuber" and in belgium we probably couldnt be even if we were sane

we're testing the machine now we got the PSU from Poland to replace the russian roulette one


so the conclusion, we left it for 8 hours (more actually) , the machine didnt seem to heat so we wont be buying those laptop flat fans, the psu barely went hotter than the first hour which is a bit above body temperature. The power button on the psu saves the mechanic wear (moving parts and friction ... but at least mechanical parts can be replaced) b/c ou dont have to turn the button on the machine on and off. The sd-drive uses nothing more than the machine itself so thats no extra power.
The joystick works and pretty sure those onefilers tested every register , sid and vic function there is, we assume plasma ninja cruds on a stack overflow or similar b/c the error reproduces itself ( like whew, if it didnt it might be the hardware)

The only thing is the SD-drive fails on certain things which looks to us atm like it fails on irq loaders (and maybe other stuff that addresses the "native" 1541 etc 'programmable' ram, it probbly doesnt have that, which is where the irq loader (the one we have, cobbled from cadavers explanations) stores some code
so none of the modern demos will load likely and we wonder if newer games like the good stuff they review on RGN wont have the same issue

all onefilers work glitchless, our own 3 little demos / intros work just fine on real hardware and we'll find out the real sound of that sid-tune when we convert it to a prg

but the game we try to work up wont work since it relies on an irq loader and we dont wanna change that

SO

:)

we neither have money nor room for a hard 1541 drive + floppies
so pls to send us one of those, an amiga 1200 (or 500 if you have to) an atari st (without the blitter the original ones) a falcon, an atari jaguar and a neo-geo (with a flashcart included)

for free, because we are great like that and twice as poor

pc's we have ...

that concludes the session into

this thing works and costs less than one person at keldermans

good buy

The guy from 8bitisthefuture must be an electronics demigod to fix this up but not a demo-coder perhaps or he might have figured the programmable ram you get in hard-drives (hard(ware) (floppy)drives) is missing so the code to replace the bit that wont allow data transfer during IRQ and other gets fixed up with some custom (temporary) firmware that DOES allow it. So our guess is this will run about all 80s and 90s games and software , but probably not all demos, and certainly not the later ones (we couldnt get any of those up - monumentum , we are all connected, edge of disgrace, uncensored, we need more scrollers ... all hung up but all the onefilers worked fine, be they multiplexing or switching banks , playing sides and rasterbarring up wazoo-creek)

HEY

pardon ?
o

well euh

what do YOU do with those rims ?

  • yup

but the difference is i mind my own business. We do have a dream, that is to scrap enough copper to be able to buy a small powerstation and a 60 or 120w solar panel (offgrid OFCOURSE, FUCK BELGIUM) and run a c64 off of it

while polishing up on electronics starting with the lessons of the fabulous Navy Nerd

who should get a statue and a nobel education prize for being the mother Theresa of electronics during a time when you pay 5 houses for a degree that ultimately gets you laid at mcdonalds cleaning toilets unless you have five of them ?

devaluation of degree - inflation of de baas requirements ... it only works if even ONE guy submits to it though

YOU, human

have much to learn

about solidarity

en de baas

?

knock it off ?

the valens shell then

the biggest takeaway from hour one ?

"its the humans again"

the guy clearly explains how electricity only exists because the universe demands balance and humans have an innate ability for violence that always breaks stuff and clips bits of other bits

like how they created

(not just a doompatrol metafor)

HEY, we like THIS bit of you, we WANT IT FOR OUR MULE-FARM , but we dont want the rest so we'll try to chip it off

but you can't have Jane
without Janes ondergrond

and so it came to pass - we who was i is we now
