    Super Mario Bros on C64

    But that's totally incomparable! In the 80 SMB was a hot thing and a commodore 64 was a popular platform with millions units in the wild. Now it's just a curiosity for a bunch of maniacs that fiddle with devices not in production for over 25 years. And speaking of Giana Sisters - You'll never...

    QuickShot/QuickJoy-type Joystick

    Well, one of them has problem with the trigger button. Whole button is physically skewed to the side so it could be a broken part or at least something snapped out of it's usual place. I think In the end I will have to take it apart, the thing is, it's at least partially working (if you push the...

    QuickShot/QuickJoy-type Joystick

    I'm looking for a replacement for my over 25 year old DB-9 Joysticks for Commodore. The thing is, over the years I got used to fighter-jet- inspired controllers. I mean: - reasonably ergonomic handle - trigger-like fire button under index finger Nice to have features: autofire, additional button...

    Commodore C64

    You're kind of running out of time. This was supposed to be funny, yet I only feel some strange melancholy.

    GCW Zero

    I don't think more than one batch was ever built. If you don't mind second hand unit I might consider selling mine. It's barely used and I haven't turn it on for more than a year. I'll need to check whetjer it's still working though. This little guy deserves more love than I can afford.

    Last known issue fixed

    You will still need at least a simple voltage meter on the other side of the cable, otherwise you will not be able to tell apart shitty cable and shitty charger. Or partially both.

    New Commodore 64 cases anyone?

    OK, I might have made made a hasty assumption. I've heard rumours there's something wrong with the commodore cases campaign. I'm not a backer and didn't follow the project that much after it was funded so after I heard the rumours I went to the Kickstarter, browsed the comments and thought...

    Just went through the kickstarter comments and it seems the project went Craig's way :/

    Paysafecard as payment option on dragonbox.de

    I haven't ordered anything at DragonBox for a while but as I recall Credit Card Payments are handled outside PayPal.

    New Commodore 64 cases anyone?

    I have bought C64 with slightly broken filters on my sid. On simple "syntetic" tests I wrote or typed from the internet it works just fine. You can't notice the failure on many games, but on some cases music sounds lice crap. There's a swinSID project, not sure if you can buy one out of shelf...

    New Commodore 64 cases anyone?

    I'm glad theres something happening in the motherboard area. However my experience is that some chips, esp. VIC-II, SID and CIA are the ones that are most fragile. Unformtunately they couldn't be fixed and the only replacement option is canibalising other units.

    Your Retail Therapy?

    Well, I got myself into Star Trek Attack Wing and Wizkids has been releasing new expansions like crazy. I tried to restrain myself but ended up buying 17 out of 30 additional ships out there. Fortunately they slowed down releasing new models recently.The good thing is we have a group that plays...

    Staying private on internet.

    Well, that might be easy for you but I can imagine people want to have their little secrets, love affairs, very personal letters etc.
