Peter KreftingHow to connect a #mouse.
Much better.
Nothing looks broken. Stock C128.
I get some garbage characters in LOADING messages now and then, but it might be state related, not sure if it is a real problem.
Now we're talking. Now I just need some help soldering the switchless switch things. I do think I prefer the one with a physical switch, even if it means drilling in the case.
*That* looks weird. I connected a USB gamepad through a mouSTer *and* a C64-joyport adapter I got with the machines, and all gamepad directions also trigger a set of keypresses that I don't see with a regular joystick..
I found a seller of 4464s on eBay in a France and ordered two. I popped one of the ones that came from China and put one in, and now the #Fixteen works! So now I have two "Minus 4"s!
That means I have a spare 4464 in case one of the others break down later.
Looks like the #LumaFix64 and #RetroScaler2x do NOT like each other. That's not how it is supposed to look like. No matter how much I adjusted the pots.
Tried in both my working C64s, same result.
Dear #Commmodore hw repair community, any tips on where to look to fix a broken paddle? One in the pair is working, the other just reports two or three values. I opened it but cannot see any damage.
