For anyone wondering, the cartridges were printed with Jessie PLA Tan #64 from Printed Solid. It is a very close match to the color of a breadbin that isn't discolored. The kernal switcher works very well in a 1541 disk drive to switch between JiffyDOS and stock and also change the device number of the drive if you set it to 8 ROM mode and connect the A14 and A15 address lines to the device select inputs on UC3 VIA pins 15 and 16. Connect the reset line to the 6502 and it will reboot the drive when you change "modes". The boards are also useful without the controller as an EPROM adapter. The ATTiny will remember the last bank selected and can be moved between machines without connecting the I/O if you want to use it for testing purposes. You could mount the LED directly to it as well as a small pushbutton and program it with a kernal ROM, a Basic ROM and a character ROM and use it for testing. It's a very versatile device if you think outside the box. I believe the firmware on the ATTiny is an out of date version. I didn't realize that I flashed an old version until after I shipped it. The button on the Wifi modem will reset both the C64 and the modem. If the C64 is reset by another cartridge, etc, it will also reset the modem. As another person pointed out, Sam's Journey doesn't use the REU's memory, but just uses the DMA controller to move the memory around, making it a good real world test of the design. PAL machines don't need the REU to play Sam's Journey. Apparently there is more time for the CPU to process code between scan lines on the PAL machines than on an NTSC machine and Sam's Journey pushes the hardware to the absolute limit. It's a great game too. If you haven't played it, you should check it out. My wife is from Bolivia. I think she ordered the chocolates from Amazon. They are not a Prime shipping item and they take quite a while to arrive from Brazil.
You got Brazilian chocolate: Serenata de Amor which means Love Serenade. It’s THE most beloved Brazilian candy of all times.The filling is a cashew nut candy.
14:50 This is not spanish, it is portuguese. This is a kind chocolate from Brazil. The name is "Serenata de Amor" which means "Love Serenade", it is made by "Garoto" which mean "Boy". Cheers from Brazil!

Fun facts: the game Monopoly is actually strangely called "Matador" here in Denmark. Haribo makes ordinary "Piratos" which are pretty much just the standard soft and salty black liquorice, "Super Piratos" which you have just encountered and I have loved since childhood, "Mini Super Piratos" which is the same just in a smaller sized form factor. Some years back they made some even stronger "Super Pepper Piratos" obviously with an added peppery taste and which are dearly missed by yours truly. As you have probably figured out by now, there are no "Super" Piratos in the "Matador Mix"... maybe there is in the "Dark Matator Mix" variant, I don't remember.
I have never seen those Super Pepper Piratos, but perhaps i should be glad i haven´t? I love the "regular" Super Piratos though. As far as i can recall, those were the only kind of Piratos we had back in my childhood and youth, back in the 60s and maybe into the 70s.
@@BertGrink I remember it to be at least 10 years ago, maybe 20 (feeling old) and the bag being dark red instead of blue. You obviously have to google them as "Peber Piratos" (in Danish). But I haven't managed to find even a single low-res picture.
You should do a "solderathon", including the SMD components board you got also, I sure would love to watch! Love your content! Keep up the great work! and thank for the great videos you make!
Serenata de Amor is a Brazilian chocolate candy that is normally comes in boxes of Garoto. It's very similar to the Argentinean Bon O Bon. Both are delicious! They are like a ball of hard peanut butter-ish, covered with wafer and chocolate. Garoto boxes are incredibly popular here in Argentina, and they are the no. 1 souvenirs to get to your friends and coworkers when you go on vacations to Brazil.
The cart not fitting in the C64 is the board sitting lower due to the shield being removed. You could put some nylon washers under the board to correct the spacing.
The "Super Piratos" are flavored with ammonium chloride, aka "salmiak", it's not just because of the liquorice being strong. Very much an acquired taste and not very popular outside of northern Europe.
Adrian: "You know what guys, i really could use a couple of million dollars. You know, for repair-a-thons!" ^-^ The money would show up with some fancy candies!

Ah, that visual display thingy mentioned sounds like something on which LGR did a video a few years ago. More useful than that device he showed with a built-in cigarette lighter.
Yeah that cupholder/cigarette lighter is absolute garbage; i bought one myself about 10 years ago, but quickly found out that it only holds very small cups. Since i only use big mugs, i deemed it too risky to have a mug of beverage that close to anything electrical. I ended up disassembling it, intending to find somewhere else to install the lighter, but so far it just lies in a box somewhere 🤣
My best friends mother (both are Brazilian) would bring me a box of those on her yearly visits to the US. Always looked forward to the box of those. I still have some chocolates left in the fridge.
Ah yes, danish liqourice, have been looking forward to that! We danes love to serve those strong, salty things to our foreign visitors, not only to see their reaction, but because we love the stuff so much! In fact we’ve recently got a “Black Edition Matador Mix” without all those pesky fruity and colorful winegums 😊
Eventyr mix black edition er nu også godt. Men jeg er glad for at han kunne lide det jeg sendte ham. Den helt korrekte reaktion ved Piratos, som jeg havde forventet. 😁
@@TheodoreWard Depends on what type you try. You can get these extremely sweet and soft ones. Then there are the hard and extremely salty ones. I like all. Just not that red American stuff. Too sweet and artificial tasting.
This yellow candy, Serenata do Amor (Love Serenate) is an chocolate from an famous brazilian Industrie called "Garoto" (Boy in brazilian portuguese), An good chocolate, maybe too sweet for some people.
I grew up in Beaverton, and there was a dutch shop there that sold salted licorice, salmiaki, whatever you wanted to call it. It comes inZout, Doubel Zout, Trebel Zout. It is an aquired taste here in America, but since I grew up eating it, I love them. I still order the stuff online.
52:02 Funnily enough, we don't have those in Spain (and if we had, there would be people campaigning for them to be banned). And I get that those and the Super Piratos are intended to be based on Spain, but they make the same mistake both in the name of the second and in the coins of the first (should be "Súper Piratas" and "100 pesetas" respectively).
Hah funny to watch you eat those Piratos :D. They are to strong for me aswell ;). You are most welcome here in Denmark Adrian! Please visit us at your leisure.

Grand Prix 4 was an post Voodoo era game. The adequate graphics card representing this era would be an Ti4200 or the 9700 pro. So the right OS would still be 98SE or Windows 2K :)
@7:17 Mashie! Been a long time since I've heard his name. Hope he's well and putting his mod skills to good use. :) Yeah, those were the wild-west days of case modding. Wanted 120mm fan intakes/exhausts? Better break out the hole saw or freehand dremel it. Watercooling? Be prepared to braze your own waterblock and hunt for a radiator at an auto parts store. Fans too loud? Run them at 5 volts or 7 volt mod it as there were no variable speed controllers back then.
Happy that you enjoyed the Haribo that I send you. The Super piratos are indeed the reaction that I thought you would have. But it is strange that I have not seen anyone else from America, taste try that stuff yet. As far as I know, you are the first. But happy that you enjoyed them. The striped ones are kind of caramel licorise. They are called Labre Larver, wich is kind of Delicious Larvae if you translate directly. I am also surprised by the shipping time. 1.5 month. Aprox.
I recommend Vernors Ginger Ale if you want a good Zing. It used to make me sneeze as a kid. Also Bette Jane's Ginger Beer is good but more of a specialty brand. It has actual ginger chunks in it.
I was thinking last week that it would be quicker to go straight to the 2nd desk, because some things were getting duplicated from one desk to the other. Watch out for shingle HDDs'. They are probably good enough for vids, but they are slower than std HDDs'.

Oh gosh. I bought a bag of Haribo Piratos, the more chewy kind. I was unaware that i bought not just salty licorice but EXTRA salty licorice. i just wanted to try salty licorice and i got more than i bargained. I've only had one piece. it's been sitting for months
I have a small idea: you should do seperated colors for separated types of mailcall midlle letter: the curent color for mini; something else for medium; and something for mega mailcalls. You dont need to do this, i just was wondering.
Gah! that Cybernoid II sid demo is running way too fast on a NTSC machine (and yes its meant to be played at the 50Hz speed, as Jeroen Tel lived in a 50Hz PAL region)
You´re right, they do look quite similar... i had to google the Pontefract cakes to find out what they look like. However, i doubt that they taste alike; as a Dane, i am very familiar with the Piratos - they are among my favourites in fact - and as Adrian reported, they do have a strong taste. I have also had some experience with british licorice, e.g. Bassetts, which i find very bland in comparison. We Danes are weird! lol 😂🤣😃😄😅
@@BertGrink Yeah, I find the Bassetts and Haribo versions week as well. But the original Pontefract cakes made in Pontefract, (only 50-60 miles from me), are a lot stronger. I don't know if the factory is still running or not though.
@@frankowalker4662 They were still made until 2004, at least; Wikipedia has this health warning: "In 2004, healthcare professionals warned against overindulgence in Pontefract cake after a 56-year-old woman was admitted to hospital following an overdose. The woman consumed about 200 grams (7.1 oz) daily, leading to dangerously low potassium levels and subsequent muscle failure. Earlier in 2004, the European Commission had recommended limiting consumption of the active ingredient, glycyrrhizic acid, to 100 mg or less per day." Even though i love licorice, 200 grams daily seems a bit excessive.
Your videos are always interesting. You could teach Inuits how to build igloos and not only they would be interested, they would also probably learn something. That’s how good I think you are. Keep up the good work.
Regarding the Dr. Death multi-diag cartridge. I'll bet a fella could replace those jumpers with a DPDT toggle. A really motivated fella might even remount that rotary switch to face upward.
If you like a extra ginger flavored ale then look for Ginger Beer, which is basically an extra ginger flavored ginger ale. Cock and Bull is a popular Ginger Beer brand.
Adrian, In Holland (Netherlands) they have a variety of liquorice Haribo sweets just for the Dutch, if you like liquorice, I urge you to reach out to your Dutch fans, it is a game changer!
Adrian, I personally would say stick with this format for new videos you shoot of mail calls for at least small packages, if it helps you out and makes production go faster this was perfectly find for me personlly!
Really like the less edited episodes here lately especially whats going on the second channel, not really sure what's different, maybe seeing more into the thought process.
Here in the UK licorice is enjoyed by many, but our licorice is sweet, whereas yours is salty. Got some a few years ago from a visiting Dutch friend and we weren't keen. The Gouda and the stroopwafels were very well received though :D
@@jaycee1980 Yeah I know the Uk ones as well, they seem to have a very low “sweetwood” and salmiak content, which gives that tase. It all depends on what you grew up with I think. :) The differences are what makes it fun.
I'm in the US and I do like Licorice, however you're definitely correct, mots people here do not like black licorice. It's great for me, because usually i'm the only one eating it though.. Haha. That said, i'm not sure i'd much care for salty licorice either. I like it strong flavored, but yeah, it should have some sweetness.
Hi Andrian. I am from Denmark as Well. The coin and the square ones in The Matador Mix is sweet in taste, Not strong at all. The Brown with stripes is called “labre larver”. Its translated to “delightfull carterpillars” The Piratos is a brand for it self Not mixed. We have one there are kind off Piratos taste, Blue Jeens, But More mild. The Piratos are The strongest we have. I like to Munch Half a bag when i do electronic and IT stuff, because licorice do rise your blod pressure. I dont Fall a sleep as easy. But your face. Priceless. 🤣. Sorry, But i started to laugh already when you unboxed it. Not many from outside of Scandinavia like it so strong. But we have grown up with it, so i guess our wiking geens have given us strong taste buds 😁 Kind regards from Dannie, Denmark. Ps. I have thought up an theoretical improvement for The c64, i May contact you about it in The future. Ceep up The good work on youtube. I love to see you fix all kind of stuff. I guess you must be an engineer or something like thet.

"In 2004, healthcare professionals warned against overindulgence in Pontefract cake after a 56-year-old woman was admitted to hospital following an overdose. The woman consumed about 200 grams (7.1 oz) daily, leading to dangerously low potassium levels and subsequent muscle failure. Earlier in 2004, the European Commission had recommended limiting consumption of the active ingredient, glycyrrhizic acid, to 100 mg or less per day."
Even though i love licorice, 200 grams daily seems a bit excessive.
@@BertGrink Hell, that's a lot. Ha ha.
I bet she did'nt have constipation, though. LOL.
Them piratos are like Pontefract cakes in the UK. More like medicine than sweets. Keeps you regular
This video is the very definition of 'ask, and ye shall receive'. Not just a clever title!
Serenata de amor is a Brazilian Sugarplum . A Chocolate candy with a peanut cream inside.
Your videos are always interesting. You could teach Inuits how to build igloos and not only they would be interested, they would also probably learn something. That’s how good I think you are. Keep up the good work.
34:48 "There's a link in the description"..... guess who forgot to add the link......
Regarding the Dr. Death multi-diag cartridge.
I'll bet a fella could replace those jumpers with a DPDT toggle.
A really motivated fella might even remount that rotary switch to face upward.
If you like a extra ginger flavored ale then look for Ginger Beer, which is basically an extra ginger flavored ginger ale. Cock and Bull is a popular Ginger Beer brand.
Adrian, In Holland (Netherlands) they have a variety of liquorice Haribo sweets just for the Dutch, if you like liquorice, I urge you to reach out to your Dutch fans, it is a game changer!
Serenata de Amor (Serenade of love) is a candy from Brazilian factory Garoto (Boy). How cool you got it!
I will accept the challenge and attempt to shake a stick as as many diagnostics carts as possible :)
8 bit rock star who likes his Haribo. Great video.
The Sid music from the module is very cool
+1 to Stewart for using a phillips screw!
I liked the fast-format :)
-Dx
All the liquorice in matador mix is not strong, so the one you skipped is in fact sweet.
I used to always find different types of haribo at dollar tree.
Adrian, I personally would say stick with this format for new videos you shoot of mail calls for at least small packages, if it helps you out and makes production go faster this was perfectly find for me personlly!

Those chocolates are Brazilian "bom bom"
As a PAL user I always scream hearing speedy sid music
This channel is now brought to you by Habiro!!! LOL. On a serious note. Great content.

4:25 8-bit DANCE PARTY!!!!
So funny that licorice is so not liked abroad (Netherlands here), it's a very acquired taste apparently, I loooooooove it. :)
Here in the UK licorice is enjoyed by many, but our licorice is sweet, whereas yours is salty. Got some a few years ago from a visiting Dutch friend and we weren't keen. The Gouda and the stroopwafels were very well received though :D
@@jaycee1980 Yeah I know the Uk ones as well, they seem to have a very low “sweetwood” and salmiak content, which gives that tase. It all depends on what you grew up with I think. :) The differences are what makes it fun.
I'm in the US and I do like Licorice, however you're definitely correct, mots people here do not like black licorice. It's great for me, because usually i'm the only one eating it though.. Haha. That said, i'm not sure i'd much care for salty licorice either. I like it strong flavored, but yeah, it should have some sweetness.
though i wish i had stuff to send you or was able to help out monitarily, i do appreciate the videos you give us.
sweden here we welcome you
Ginger beer has some good ginger taste.
That candy's name translate as "Love Serenade"
I think every time Adrian is either sent candy or eats a piece, he should say, "Ooh, piece a candy!", like James Woods did on Family Guy.
I can spend all day shaking a stick, boy
You must be getting more post than your local post office were do yo put it all them double diagnostic cartridges are a brilliant idea
Hi Andrian. I am from Denmark as Well.
The coin and the square ones in The Matador Mix is sweet in taste, Not strong at all. The Brown with stripes is called “labre larver”. Its translated to “delightfull carterpillars”
The Piratos is a brand for it self Not mixed. We have one there are kind off Piratos taste, Blue Jeens, But More mild. The Piratos are The strongest we have. I like to Munch Half a bag when i do electronic and IT stuff, because licorice do rise your blod pressure. I dont Fall a sleep as easy.
But your face. Priceless. 🤣. Sorry, But i started to laugh already when you unboxed it. Not many from outside of Scandinavia like it so strong. But we have grown up with it, so i guess our wiking geens have given us strong taste buds 😁
Kind regards from Dannie, Denmark.
Ps. I have thought up an theoretical improvement for The c64, i May contact you about it in The future.
Ceep up The good work on youtube. I love to see you fix all kind of stuff. I guess you must be an engineer or something like thet.
I love black licorice... so a friend brought some salted black licorice from the Netherlands for me... ugh... definitely an aquired taste!
I like this format!
