Saw this on eBay: Roland Sound Canvas DB SCD-10 SCB-7 GM Daughter Board NEW Old Stock! And the price is ridiculous! At least S&H is free.

Awesome, a C64 is on my list for me to pick up still. I modded my Mega Drive today, installing a 50/60hz switch. It's the first proper console mod I've done with soldering. It was exciting, and more importantly, it seems to work! Nice. Sounds like you can play NTS and PAL games on the fly. The mod …

As I was saying previously , I had to change that ugly cooler which cames with the card, it was just too much for me. So I swapped it for my copper Zalman. Much better, I think :) http://srandista.modan.sk/PC/X850_Zalman.jpg Better cooling for the chips as well. I had to install a fan from a CPU …

sd2iec or uiec. thats what you want. the c64/128 revolve around 1541. fastloaders, copyprot etc. if its not 1541 emulation its not worth it. sd2iec/uiec will give you the next best thing (better would be ultimate 1541 cart which does 100% 1541 emulation). +1 My 1541 Ultimate II is the reason my C64 …

Question: has anyone ever heard of a cartridge called IDE64 for the Commodore 64? Looks like a Hard Drive cartridge to load/save games and stuff onto the drive (CF card standard, SD, MMC, IDE/SATA HDD/CD/DVD, LS-120 and ZIP [PSU required] optional) to be in place of the 1541 floppy drive. Well, I …

Bidded on a Commodore 64 on eBay and I won. The C64 has the reset button mod on It, which is like icing on a cake: top quality and faster than the power switch. I'm planning on buying the 1541 drive, Fast Loader cartridge, and video cable. Also plan on getting a mouse, joystick, and some games on …
