If you do that, I'd love to see the composite out on a CRT and compare screen lag to the real thing. That's my main issue with LCD and emulation

there's no lagless setup if you emulate. you have lag (both input and video lag), you just don't notice it if you're not used to the real hardware. I have a raspberry + xarcade on a crt screen setup and it works well, but I can always feel it's not the real thing. (sometimes is "better" than real hardware too, snes and nes emulation for example is more stable, you don't have slowdowns you would have with the real console)

LGR lol

I noticed the party members and instantly paused, and began thrifting through the comments for some Oddcomments

LGR hi

GreyHulk2 This video fucking sucks anyway.

THEN LEAVE, you are not welcome here. Not the commenter... The sucking expert.

LeaveTheMark thats what she said

GreyHulk2 David has more than 1 C64...

that's not nice :(

Most youngsters have no idea how to troubleshoot electronics.

Perfectly working Game boys are being gutted all the time just because ppl think its cool to customise them.

@@jackrussell3084 If it's to add a backlight, I'm fine with it. Otherwise not.

@@jackrussell3084 I mean I've restored some really ugly looking Gameboys by gutting them and putting the guts into a new shell. I'm hoping to do a light mod on my GBA soon, cause my SP is starting to die and I'd still like to be able to play Golden Sun and Metroid Zero Mission.

Not sure if there's any permanent damage to the case, though. I think if you're actually going to use the C64, then making copies of your existing floppies would be a good idea due to their unreliability. And what happens when the floppy drive goes out? There's only so many parts left to fix them. I'm on the fence myself.

We call it a 'bread box" in the US.

We Finns called it the "kuusnepa"

Bread loaf and bread box. They're both good nicknames

Jak se mas. In America I’ve herd it called loaf too. It’s like they went up in price over night on eBay. All the sudden people care about there old stuff.

#1 retropie is for ROMS (most are illegal) so i doubt his brother would use a cracked copy of planetx2

@Michael Bleck Mike said Ultima 3 was just the D64 file. I would've thought he'd have access to Planet X2. David has already said Planet X2 can run on an emulator (like VICE), or run from an SD-2-IEC. Also, from David's FAQ: "There is no copy protection in the game (rather pointless these days) so it will load from anything"

@@KingNothing22 Planet X2 comes with a .D64 file for all 3 editions of the game (Boxed, Lite and Digital) so it's perfectly legal if you bought the game.

No Kidding!!! Hilarious

@@KingNothing22 The 8 Bit Guy created Planet x2

There are times i swear tech knows you're about to do something to it! :D

Lol ikr

I have the Keyrah V2 waiting in the wings should I need it... I should keep it right next to the C64.

David Chipman it shure does, it happens to me very often, last time it was a laptop refusing to load the log in mask on Windows 10, then I wanted to run the windows recovery, but I always forget the key to open that special Windows menu, so I took the first best thing the internet spit out on how to get into that menu, but instead it booted normally and Windows was working fine again. Or my dads calling there is something wrong with his PC, by the time I'm there the PC already healed itself, and respond, "the PC knew that I was coming" :D

Consider installing Combian64 instead of Retropie. It boots straight into BASIC with no boot screen beforehand, and much quicker, too.

​@@thegoldenblock7906 I graduated in 1983... Back in ancient times we printed our papers off on a dot matrix printer, tore the sprocket hole perferations off and placed them on our instructor's desk.

@@mcopado did the same! I had a really cool word processing that had amazing fonts which I used with the NLQ feature of my dot matrix. I wrote all my papers on my C64 in college.

Yeah? Why is that hard to belive? :P

No tear up a good Mac because that will make as much sense

Ronny Julian and stick an old trs-80 in the torn up Macintosh!

I'd just as soon use Windows, Linux, or the ZX Spectrum.

RetroPie does include 68K Mac emulation using BasiliskII

pi running Mac inside c64 running a Windows vm does the pi have external memory modules?

Steven Ingram cool

Is it possible to go wireless with a smart TV?

eh? Whatever that even means, sounds like a no anyway :P

I dont see why you wouldn't just get 3 usb extenders, plug them into the empty ports on the Pi and mount them in the many empty holes in the back of the case.

Good idea. The built in DAC on the raspberry pi isn't very good anyway. This way you'd use the DAC in the bluetooth speaker.

CrispyCola They are brothers, that may have something to do with it.

No, bad joke

I think Parifractic would love that.

I mean it's a really nice kitchen

Raspberry Pie

Or your baking a raspberry pi

Kra Z Kapin This is his brother.

David Refoua it wouldn’t be as authentic as if those things were there. However, I wonder if you can do that

raspberry pies have a composite output on them anyway, no need for a hdmi to composite converter 😉

@@andygozzo72 I somehow forgot this. Even RPi 2, 3 and 4 have composite video output in their Audio jack. Nice tip!

@@DRSDavidSoft pi zero has it as well on 2 empty holes of the pcb

Or used on original revision of the rPi, which already had a composite port.

Allan Au what type of degree do you need in order to become a professional solderer?

Nice Windows 7 profile picture. My mother uses it as her avatar on stuff for the last 10 years, we don't use WIndows 7 anymore.

Yes! (Sent from my Linux Machine)

Commodore 64s are expensive? Cool! Time to sell mine

TWX1138 - Yes, I noticed that too. Maybe he thinks a towel is just as good as an antistatic bag. Maybe in a future video, the guy will place a motherboard on carpet.

From what I could see, he left the shielding under it. Seemed fine to me.

"Who parted your hair? Moses?"

Wait what where? Pi has neither.

Yes. You are correct!

And a normal USB power supply doesn't support ACPI either. ;) In the end it's just a small extra board doing the power management and basically emulating (part of) what ACPI does.

They are brothers

worker I didn’t know that until a few months ago

Is that really his older brother? I did not know that, that's cool.

Yep, raspberry pi has a minijack composite output. However, getting overscan and aspect ratio for a CRT set correctly in retroPi takes A LOT of time and tinkering....not exactly fun :)

Sam T Not to mention that the built in DAC doesn't deliver very good sound quality. You're probably better off using the DAC built in the monitor with the digital signal from hdmi.

i need to animate this

i just started watching your content and i love it already

yes because ufficial modding (ultimate-64 II and others) are quite expensive. better a chip raspberry PI

I was just thinking "Pub" implies some level of impairment.

Well, the other one was the Super Nintendo, even used by Nintendo themselves, so I don't see anything wrong with that. :D

I must be old.. What else would you call it? lol

My dad calls it a Nintendo yeet

Well the name is Nintendo Entratainment System. NES is the abbrevation not the original name

and you can do all kind of other stuff with a pi... not only c64 ;)

I second this strongly. I think that .7mm is a great all purpose solder for through-hole soldering and for most SMD components. Bigger stuff I only use for pre-tinning thick wires.

That might explain a lot of my issues with soldering.

Hmm never knew that so must get some thinner solder

I'll keep this in mind for when I solder pcb's. Thanks a lot.

Don't forget flux core!

K.o.R which I have

He may have used a 3D printer but it wasn't required. Someone with craft skills could fabricate almost anything with a Dremel tool and assorted bits, plexiglass, brass shim roll, etc. And a good pana-vise or hobby vise. Most important part of craftsmanship is skills. Tools are second. Granted a 3D printer with a good downloaded file can make-up for a half mediocre craftsmanship and still get acceptable results. The other stuff on the list are required though.

Indeed, it gives me an idea for a kind of ...upgrade. buy a repo case, put a better keyboard with some romer g or cherry mx switches (brown for me perfect balance between typing and gaming). Would be a really really fun project...

I have seen that done on other videos about 3D printing but no claim is ever made about quality of the threads. Also 1/4-20 threads or so ( or m10-1.5? )is possible but in this video it appears the bolts are 4-40 or the metric equivalent of tiny-fine-thread bolts. It would be hard, not impossible, but hard. EDIT- what I am asking is do 3D printed threads hold up when a bolt is removed re-inserted a few or more times or do they wear out quickly? Also I guess there is a limit to how small and how fine the threads are? I would like to invest in a 3D printer to try it someday but personal funds put it way down the list. Until then I must use manual fabrication craftsmanship for almost all small parts of my projects. 3D printing is awesome though.

lorecast162 he mean5 ACPI 😉

Interesting. Another commentor said my temp was too low. I need to do a little research.

Stannol recommends 581 for lead based and 559 for lead free solder, but soldering at those kinds of temperatures tries my patience a little too much. Having the set point a little higher brings the initial temperature on the work close to those ideal temperatures, so you can make quicker joints. I mean, I've only been doing this stuff for 34 years, so you're free to listen to trolls who tell you to crank it up to 800 (or whatever they recommended).

Im no expert when it comes to soldering though I'd recommend 320-370 C (~600-700 freedom units) when using 60/40 solder. Swapping to a small chisel shaped solder tip and using flux should make soldering easier. also you should google NASA and Aviation soldering standards! :)

600F - 315C is a good temp to solder at, I usually solder at 330C. Depends a little on the stuff you're soldering I guess. The only thing I noticed in the soldering here at the 6 min mark was that it looks like cold solder joints, that might be what the others were referring to. This doesn't have so much to do with the temperature set on the soldering iron, it's more that the joint wasn't heated well enough to properly flow the solder. If you set the iron at around 600F, and then heat the joint a little before applying the solder then your joint will be a lot better. Use lead solder, the lead-free stuff is awful, place the iron on the joint, apply the solder a split second after and let the iron sit for a second to flow the solder. That will give you good joints. If you solder on heat sensitive components you may have to be more careful, but a connector can take some heat before it melts so don't worry. But in the end, if it works it's good enough. Cold solder joints may develop issues later, but other than that it doesn't matter if it looks pretty or not. :)

One thing to also consider is the temperature difference between the heating element and and the solder tip. which is quite noticeable when using long pointy tips.
