Ok, I've had it. It's been almost 3 weeks since I've gotten my #Commodore #C64U. I'm opening it up and trying it out...want to make sure it works.

Wow! Pretty but hard to see the keys with the lights. Nice feature is you can turn off the LEDs for the keys and keep the case so it's not a bad thing.

Plus, with a name like C64Whiz, I better freak'n know where the keys are without looking! 😂

#RetroComputing #Commodore #C64U

Hey, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa!!!! You knew you were sending this to the US and you still set it to PAL?!?! Tsk tsk.

#RetroComputing #Commodore #C64U

Aaaahhhhh, that's better. Comfy NTSC!

#RetroComputing #Commodore #C64U

Oh no no no...that host name will never do.

And what the f*ck is with using M$ and Gxxgle time servers?!? Ah hell no. Them's got to change ASAP!!

#RetroComputing #Commodore #C64U

Ok, I have to get back to work...didn't have a lot of time to play. But just you wait...after this week's deadline I'm carving out some time to see what kind of BATTLE these can do!

In all seriousness, if you're like me, change the SNTP servers to your local server. You may even be lucky enough to have your wifi AP be a server for you.
@c64whiz at least it's unique: last three bytes of the hardware MAC?

@scruss

Honestly don't know. I'll take a closer look next week.

@c64whiz Defaulting to PAL is fully intentional -- the vast majority of C64 games and modern content work best on, or outright require, PAL because the UK produced most of the games for the system, and the EU created the demoscene. The C64 is one of the rare instances of PAL being the superior system.

@Kroc

Valid point, but I still think it could have been set for the destination. I just noticed the time server was also set for Western Europe.

I"m not seriously complaining, I just figured it would have been one of those nice little touches.

@c64whiz @Kroc ... that would require software customization of every machine. So much extra work

@scruss @Kroc

Don't care. I want my NTSC!

😂

@c64whiz that is cos PAL is the best! ❤️
@c64whiz they're all shipped as PAL, I think. The PAL market is much bigger, and the design's european anyway.
