Gave my newly build Commodore64 SixtyClone-250466 "Black Bessy" a test for a couple of hours. Tested settings in the ARMSID, and chose filthers 3 notch down. After that I played some Batman the movie, Giana Sisters, Golden AXE, Super Cycle and Winther Games.
I also had to get rid of the RF Modulator replacement, and used an original NOS one that I initially bought for the project. I am blown away by how good the image quality is. This is like 1986 all over again, because the build is a clone of the 1986 model that Commodore produced. Next step is to solder in the cartridge port shield, install some casemod that I have in mind (internally non destructive to the case) and add a silent fan to give the VIC-II and the 5volt regulator some better cooling. I also have to source more aftermarket replacement parts, like S-Ram upgrade and some ESR protection to the CIA chips. I also had to use a CIA from an Amiga500, because one of the C64 version was completely dead, to the point were DeadTest gave no error, yet brought the entire system down in a seriously big way. Strange....
Oh well... My homebuild and completely new Commodore64 is a reality now. I am extremely pleased with it. And proud that I was able to actually build a functioning computer from scratch. All solderwork was done well and in one go. I think that it was done well, because I took my time to do it right. I did not make any solder bridges and electrical contact is perfect on all soldering.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
