Re: 64 empty cartridge cases

I have two cartridges of centipede for the C-64, one has a screw, but the other looks like this case with no screw. Of all the cartridges I have, that is the only one that looks like this sale. I don't know if either case is original, since neither of these cartridges has a label, but the PC board i...

Re: 1541 Alps drives can't read a particular disk

I've seen this happen on some 5 1/4" disks over the years. Generally speaking the 5 1/4" disks seem to age better than their 3 1/2" counterparts though.
Oddly enough I don't believe this is an age related issue.

Re: A different C-64 video tweak

Re: A newer composite converter than N4

I think I'll try my Commodore 1950 monitor next. But it is stored away and it didn't work the last time I used it. It can also display 15KHz RGB but has no component inputs. Have you seen this page on the 1950? It contains a couple of good tips for potential problems. https://www.bigbookofamigahard...
