I'll have to check. I didn't remember that. Thanks for the reminder.

I did not know that! Thanks for sharing and now I want to fire up my PET and give it a shot, or at least VICE…stand by…It worked! Very cool.

Sorry to read that. I still can't believe I gave mine away those many years ago. Are you planning to get another? You might check Bonus Life Computers.

You are not alone. Millions of users would agree!

Yeow! That was a high import tax. I've not heard this cost from others across the pond.

Thanks, Ryan. I get it too. As I'm learning, there are very good reasons to use these batteries. Thanks for commenting!

Hey, Neighbor! Very cool to know there's someone a couple of counties over into the same hobby. I found the neo light over at www.retroledsigns.com/Commodore-logo-LED-sign-Bright-multicolor-nearly-10-wide-662-LEDs-p483562276 Great to hear from you!

Almost, for sure! I was surprised as I researched just how many there were.

Absolutely: amzn.to/3VW2mTS (#ad). I broke it out for another use just this past weekend. Handy to have one of these on the work or computer bench.

@@retroCombs Thank you very very very much! Great job with the channel. Please keep going!

Thanks for the kind comment. Doing my best to keep good content coming. Appreciate having you along for the ride.

I have used a USB-C on my Pixel phone, but have not tried on the Pixel Tablet. I have to assume it will. I'd give it a shot, but my USB-C drive is at the "paying gig's" office.

@@retroCombs awesome, I would assume it would work… but then again this is Google we are talking about 😆 anything could happen

Absolutely! Ya love'em and hate'em at the same time on some days. 😂 I will say, I use this tablet every day. I never said that about my iPad because it often has a dead batter.

@@retroCombs here is Australia the Google Tablet is $599 (roughly $380USD) and the Samsung Tablet is also on sale for $778 (roughly $500 USD) so I’m trying to decide between the two

@bencostello2993 I've not used the Samsung but I'm not a fan of the software they put on their phones. Get the Pixel Tablet with the base. That's what gives you the best value because you get an audio hub with the deal. My two cents. I'm replying on the Pixel Tablet!

Good choice!

These are getting harder to find.

@@retroCombs Do you have a review on this board ? or any project on it ? I'm waiting for Amazon shipping xD

@@thanatosor This is the most extensive video I have on this board. It's a bit dated and one of my older videos: ruclips.net/video/gfsNLwCtIjo/видео.html

@@retroCombs Cool. What do ya think of this board & Nexys Video ?

​@@thanatosorAre you asking if I would create a video? Sorry, I might have missed something.

I agree. Same reactions I had when I first tried my Commodore computer.

@@retroCombs I like your channel! I also do some retro computing, in my channel but it’s generally an engineering infotainment channel. But you are true hardcore retro, so a well deserved sub, are you familiar with Retro is the new Black? Wolfgang is also a great retro-tuber and a great individual as well. It’s cool that retro is in again.

He made me want to throw on my winter cap and it was 90 degrees here! 😂

Glad you enjoyed the creative license I took with the video and, of course, Gurce!

Thanks for the opportunity and for trusting me with your baby. 😂

It was awesome 😊

Glad you enjoyed it! Goodmornoonevenight too ya!

That's sounds much more exciting than my livestream! Hope VCFSW was outstanding!

@@retroCombs It was awesome, as it was last year. Got to talk to Adrian Black and June about AS/400's and all kinds of other fun stuff from my past. Great time all around.

@@3vi1J They are always great. One of these days I need to make it to the SW show! I'll be back at VCF-MW in September.

Enjoy! Happy Father's Day. I'm headed out now for a little dinner.

@@retroCombs Got my own C64 8bitdo keyboard earlier in the week - the keyboard itself is excellent, but the joystick and big buttons? Yuck... squidgy novelty garbage. The keyboard jack plug hookups look interesting though - it would not be difficult at all to wire up some proper arcade controls that hook into that keyboard (as all its doing is emulating the inputs as key presses anyway), which may have some value.

Interesting idea to wire up some arcade controls! 🤔

I want to think composite out is coming on the expansion board. Could be wrong so don't quote me.

@@retroCombs Composite out is not acceptable. RGB or nothing. We want to lay behind the history of rotten output on the C64.

This would still be possible with a breakout board on the FPGA. Just needs to be enough demand and someone to champion the design. Thanks for suggesting!

You are welcome.

Not saying that at all, just that these aren't as ubiquitous as other size batteries.

Should be arriving soon!

You are welcome. Glad you found it helpful. There's been many changes and improvements since this video. Several of my negatives have been corrected.

Same process. Shouldn't have any hiccups. Check the companion blog post for written instructions.

Should work the same on an older computer.

@@retroCombs did you try put it on Lenovo thinkcentre m82 or Lenovo thinkcentre m73

@@retroCombs there’s up on iPhone for YOUR commander x16 I wish they had one for the mega 65 for phones

You are welcome and so glad more MEGA65s are landing in the hands of fans.

Likely better. Didn't think about that option.

Glad I could help and hope you are able to get one shipped. Seems there is a backlog on supply at the moment. Let me know when you receive one.

I missed that. Great "fun fact #2." Keep 'em coming!

Not a surprise. LEGO has shied away from military models but embraces Star Wars; which includes military weapons. It's an interesting balance for sure.

I really need to grab the PiStorm32 and using it with the +CM4 sounds perfect. I can only imagine what the speed increase will be when the CM5 is released.

@@retroCombs Seems the CM5 will use same PCI-e southbridge as the current Pi5, unfortunately this makes it not usable for PiStorm (too much latency), Michal talked about that on Amiga38, if it was usable the speed increase would be about 2,5 times faster than cm4/pi4, what a bummer! But cm4 @2.2Ghz is already VERY fast and will not disappoint you compared to pi3.

@@EdgeOfPanic Thanks for the additional info. I'll start looking into the PiStorm and see if they are available.

Awesome and thanks for the kind comment. It's not really that hard as the title might suggest and glad to hear from others.

Good catch. I'll add that to the Errata.

I have to admit, it has been years since I've check on this device so not sure I can offer any assistance, but my guess is the D-Pads need to be set back up in the Retro Arch. You might be able to get it all working if you plug in a keyboard.

@@retroCombs I found a solution. All I had to do was hold start and up on the D-Pad for a few seconds

@@theripper1777 That makes sense. The software just needed to recognize the hardware. Thanks for sharing. This might help others.

I'll need to research this game. First I've heard of it.

Sorry to read that folks are having a difficult time grabbing one of these.

And you've got alerts for the channel on? Might try toggling them again. You could also try to unsubscribe and subscribe and reset your settings.

Check out the video description. It list the innards! 😂

Me too. We had a power outage recently and it was very handy.

Great feedback for any one staring out. I'd also recommend a good book on begging electronics such as this one: amzn.to/3KhXthm
