Solidly Gen X. Missing the age where 8 bits got you pretty far, and 640K of ram seemed like a dream. I've been computing since Knight Rider was so cool I had to turn off my Vic-20 so I could watch it.

I've also got a lifelong love affair with music. I've loved making music since the C64 SID chip ruled, and the Atari 1040ST was hands down the best MIDI machine on the market.

Proud owner of a Mega65, C64U, Palm M515, and Juno 106.

Today's frustration.

First: this is only on the C64, both using AV and S-Video. It is there regardless of NTSC/PAL

Second: this monitor works just fine with the Mega65 and was also tested using RGB/AV output from a Sega Dreamcast.

Obviously the C64 is new, and the video cable is also new from commodore.net.

According to (barf) Gemini this was a common problem with the Ultimate, but the "help" it's giving me is utter hallucinated bull.

Oh, and I've also tried a safe mode boot with default settings to no avail.

Has anyone run into this? If you did and ESPECIALLY if you fixed it let me know!

I'm good to just HDMI/dvi, but also want to have a relatively authentic experience.

My excitement is slowly growing. As I get ready to build out a few new things for my #mega65 and #c64u (namely, Idun and TeensyROM carts) I am getting my repair station built.

Today I have a successful upgrade and integration test with my #Pinecil

I really don't know how I lived before I got my #Pinepower either. These things are so amazing!
