Anyone have suggestions for a replacement power brick for a Commodore 64? Original breadbin style, not sure if the C64C changes that.

I do have a Plus 4, and the power brick for that works. I understand it's electrically compatible, are there any decent sources for adapters or the connectors to make one?

I am checking out a few Amiga disk images and I gotta admit: This one had me confused for a bit.

As shown in the attached screenshot of DirectoryOpus, I had found a savegame with a file date "older" than the game it originated from. At first, I thought this to be very unusual. Then I remembered: Back in the day, Amigas did not usually have a real-time clock with a battery backup, so every time you booted up the system, the clock would be reset to a fixed date and time!

I'm feeling kinda stupid right now.

Last night I installed the TheRetroChannel 🇦🇺 VIC-20 SVideo/Composite board in my "VC-20".

It went relatively easily, although I should probably clean up and add some fresh solder to the pins around the video socket sometime. But it works for now. Comparison screenshots coming up next! 🧵👇

I'm proud to have been a supporter of the first Kickstarter campaign to make this wonderful machine a reality.

Now the guys are back at it, with the third campaign and lots of goodies, including #SinclairQL and #Commodore 64 cores.

Best of all, they keep supporting their users (from KS1 and KS2) by making sure we get the updates.

If you missed out on getting a #ZXSpectrum Next, this may be your final chance.
