An intersection of two of my favorite topics: #RPG​s and #math! I have this issue of the old-school #DragonMagazine. I bought it with my own earnings from chores. The date is October 1983, which would be when I was almost 13 years old and in eighth grade. I remember typing the included code into my #Commodre64, then rolling all my dice to see if they passed. 😅 It also features a revamp of the Psionicist. So, I share this link with you. Enjoy!

🎮 Jak przerobić NES-owy pad na Commodore 64? - Krok po kroku

#retrogaming #retrocomputing , dopo l'ispezione interna devo dire che ho indovinato la versione della scheda solo dall'esterno ... In effetti la scheda madre del #commodre64 che ho preso stamattina al mercatino è una 260407 revisione c usata in una macchina con chip del 1984...
#retrocomputing #retrogaming ancora una volta Il #commodre64 che ho trovato al mercatino del sabato per una ventina di euro pare perfettamente funzionante ...considerando che la macchina in questione ha circa quarant'anni direi che possiamo affermare senza troppi dubbi che l'elettronica di consumo "made in commodore" dei primi anni 80 era decisamente più affidabile di quella odierna :)
Ah, the 8701 SmaCK (Small cloCK) replacement and the SRAM replacement for the 250469 mainboard have arrived.
Slowly things are coming together.😃

I asked ChatGPT "What is the pinout of the Commodore 64 joystick port?"

"The Commodore 64 has two 9-pin joystick ports, labeled 'Game Port 1' and 'Game Port 2'".

Good so far!

"... located on the back of the computer."

Hmmm... that's not quite right. Those ports are on the side, not the back. That seems pretty harmless though, right?

"The pinout, or arrangement of the pins on the joystick port, is as follows:
1. Up
2. Down
3. Left
4. Right"

Ok, that's pretty impressive. All of those pins are correct (though it left out the paddle fire buttons).

However, after this it went downhill. Not a single one of its descriptions of pins 5-9 was correct.

The worst part is they all sound completely plausible. There *is* a ground, and there *is* a +5V line, and there *is* a fire/trigger line - just not on the pins it assigned them to!

So it's good at producing answers that resemble correctness, but are not necessarily actually correct.
