    Let's explore & test the new C64 CIA & CPU chips that finally exist! I'm so excited to share this one. (You'll also get to meet #SassyPeri as I take a rare moment to answer some YT comments.) Huge thanks also to the EVO 64 team and Jani Laatikainen for allowing me this exclusive access to the first production EVO 64 & the beta J-chips you'll see

      I like it.... Except one thing. The keyboard led are confusing and makes the machine look crooked. Get rid of them, and install a dimm strip or multiple strips. Need to be dimm light, just barely visible. As it wont overtake the keys and letters/prints. Right now one cant see some of the keys because light overtakes.

    As a british chap of a similar age to your good self, i really appreciate what you do and how you do it. To me it not only covers the technology that was around in my childhood but it does it in a happy friendly and inviting way, which people of all ages can enjoy. The whole spirit of the show evokes a time when there was less cynicism and things being done for purely for shock value or clicks. It's educational, informative and entertaining - something that the BBC used to do well back in the day. Thanks for taking the time to give us this and here's to a great future!

My instructor asked if the school could keep it for classes since it was the only one that worked.

    Love what you do here, don't change a thing! We're all watching and subbed because we love your style, including your delivery, the corny jokes, dogs and speech bubbles. It's what makes you YOU and your channel unique. There's always some nutters in the comments on every channel, invariably not watching the whole video, or even some of it before commenting. I often get some asking or questioning something which I explain within the first minute or even 30 seconds, or simply moaning because I don't speak with an American accent. Ultimately the complainers and pedants represent a tiny percentage and while it's hard not to respond - and it can be cathartic to do so - try to focus on the 99% who appreciate what you do. Besides in the wise words of RuPaul, "Unless they're paying your bills, pay them bitches no mind". Keep up the good work - oh, and another great video too, thanks!

      Very well said. Ladyfractic loves RuPaul. I think what had happened here is the squeaky wheels kept squeaking whilst the happy loyal viewers simply watched and stayed silent because they were happy, and I sort of started to believe the negative nancies. So this was a rare excuse to slapback after 5 years. Won't happen often if at all again. Thanks again!

The Amstrad is my childhood machine.

    For making replacements of these old chips, I hope more FPGA designers take advantage of the Fossi Foundation. To make a new chip in the form of an ASIC, you submit your FPGA code, and they'll do a large run of chips for free (paid for by Google), including the packaging the chip comes on (if you're happy to go open-source)

    Love it, and also love the big FU to those intellectually challenged haters out there who hide behind their little screens and tippety-tap away in a vain attempt to rattle your cage and draw attention to themselves! I can also completely understand why your voice has been requested on numerous star-studded films, but some people...well, their envy is very envydent, lol
    We are of a similar age and brought up around similar things, and I honestly can't think of anybody else on TH-cam who touches the nostalgic parts that other hearts simply cannot reach. The recreation of your childhood bedroom setups, building that Star Wars arcade replica, the Brixty Four, this brand new C64...projects done with love and a passion for sharing are beyond reproach. My personal fave and machine with the most nostalgia is the Amiga 500, specifically the demo scene, and even more specifically, the music. I used to love the challenge of ripping MOD files from demos and intros using things like the Datel Action Replay. I'm a massive fan of synth and electronic music of all kinds, and the fact that you compose your own music too is just the icing on the Perifruitic Cake.
    Never stop doing you, and for sheer giggles, keep on ripping into the haters as well, was comedic gold they would never understand! lol

    What a beautiful C64! It produces a picture that’s so much better on a CRT monitor than mine did on a 9-inch Texas Instruments monitor back in 1983! Right now, I use my TheC64 Mini with an HDMI monitor to get my “Jumpman”, “Zaxxon” and “Choplifter” fix. After my home renovation, I’ll break out the NTSC C64 (I had a PAL one in Germany) and my original 1982 NTSC VIC-20 and REALLY dig into those and try to get them working. Just? Because! Mahalo for just being there and inspiring me. BTW…is it just me, or has the resolution of your videos improved of late. The sharpness and clarity are apparent even to this OAP, LOL! Aloha!

I always think it is good to critically exam our ideas. When identifying possible challenges, it is better to point out the problem and list all the possible solutions. In any project there will be issues and compromises. The people you want to surround yourself with are ones that will work with you to solve those problems. Do not surround yourself with yes men, but people who look to raise you up and not beat you down. The people commenting negatively concerning this project do not get it and are looking to make you feel defeated probably as they do in their life.

      But it's not really. These are modern processors and FPGAs emulating the VIC-64 chips. Many 1970s and 80s computers, you can actually build 100% new ones, even today, but not with the VIC (or Amiga) computers and all their special ICs.

    Even though it's in most videos, for some reason in this one you completely took me off-guard with the "PCB Waaaayyy!" this time!
    Great video. I just love your enthusiasm and humour. Even though I never had a C64, I really badly want to build one now! I'll have to have a look in the description and tot up the cost.

    Great video - the quality of your vids is phenomenal, and it's obvious you put a lot of time into it. I didn't know about the replacement CIA chips, and I'm very happy they've finally been produced. Mission accomplished on raising awareness. Also, don't let negative comments get to you; you do you.

    hey, I've been watching for some time now, don't change ! its perfect the way it is!!! I remember the days in my childhood playing comodore64 games! mine had a cassette tape drive for loading programs. even waiting for several minutes to load a simple game was worth it. thanks for the content!!!

    Iwas going to say they should have a backlit keyboard. And maybe figure a way to add video acceleration to the machine also have a way to see the korg light up thru the case.

    that there are now real new replacement chips I find very good. But I am happy that my original C64C still works like the first day. Childhood is childhood and can't be replaced by anything new, at least that's how I feel.

  • @bdlii

    Out of curiosity, whats the cost to build one of these as in the video? Lots of parts to figure out and I know I'm being lazy. Are we talking $1500ish? I had a C64 C128 and a Timex Sinclair 1500 an really love watching these videos.

    Note that the resurrection of the C64 occured about the same time as Easter...iust saying.( I hsve it on good authority that the Almighty uses a C128D but mostly in C64 mode.)

    What a gorgeous new build! I never owned a C64 when I was younger (I had to wait for the A500) but after seeing this, I want one now :)
    And don't listen to the bad comments, your channel is one of the best (if not THE best) retro content on the Internet ;)
    Thanks god they don't do the same kind of build for Amiga, or my wallet would be out of control :D

    The quality of digital filters would not only depend on the sampling rate but also the resolution of the filter. Filter stepping can be audible when doing a filter "sweep" if the resolution is not high enough. In any case, very exciting project and great video! 😄

  • @markenetube

    That's not a C64 it's an Evo64 and you didn't even use a Commodore joystick, it was a Nintendo joystick. You big faker. Moysem glavum, I have to go lay down in my mom's basement and eat some pop-tarts.
    In te real world though. I love the effort that goes into these projects. The fact that there are companies replicating 40 year old tech speaks volumes about the love for these machines. I was a speccy user at first it took a few years to come over to Commodore, but I never regretted it. Later I went from an Atari ST to am Amiga.

    Superb stuff! I will need to buy some of these new chips as I am currently trying to fix up some C64s and getting frustrated with pulling chips out to test if they work or not. Result being i have broken a pin on the VIC-II , the Kawari VIC-II replacement and some CIA chips. Hopefully I can repair those. Whats the safest way to remove chips from old sockets? my chip puller seems to bend pins

    • @RetroRecipes
      @RetroRecipes  ปีที่แล้ว

      Chip puller can be a bit harsh. The other way is gently prize them up using a flathead watch screwdriver in alternating ends.

    I really wanted to bring this to your attention on the old vid but the comments were turned off by the time I found it. There’s another c64 board called the Uni64. It’s pretty similar to the c64reloaded with its barrel connector power input and general similarity to the short-boards. The craziest part is that it supports not just two SIDs but _three_

    Great stuff! Recently acquired a mint breadbin non-yellowed 64 with fudge coloured function keys, they had to be fudge as that was the colour I remember when my cousin used to bring his round to my house forty years ago! I owned a speccy 48k back then but his computer seemed all posh and rolls-roycey compared to mine. Now I've acquired a mint speccy +3 with a gotek as well. Really getting back into all this again, this channel and a few others are inspirational. Thank you.

    Great episode as usual. I wish they hadn't sanded the tops on the J-CIA, but I understand why they did it. (I'm looking at you, China!) I think I know what the little SOIC chips are... but that FPGA is somewhat mysterious. Hopefully, they are easy to source and not too expensive. That rounds down the possibilities quite a bit, these days.

      @@RetroRecipes Thanks for the reply! I actually just recently reinstalled Battle for Naboo on my newly restored Pentium III 1ghz CuMine build, but I haven't gotten around to playing much of it yet.
      Your commodore content is awesome, and I really appreciate the work you and the rest of the community is doing to provide newly manufactured replacements to keep these old 8bit machines running well into the future!
