Does your Commodore 64 output pixel-perfect HDMI? Because mine does. Thank you so much to @sideprojectslab7352 for making this awesome kit. You can find out more at the GitHub for the project: https://github.com/sideprojectslab/HD-64/. I bought this one myself for €109, from Retro 8-Bit Shop: https://www.retro8bitshop.com/product/spl-hd-64/. You can also buy one from retro-updates.com: https://www.retro-updates.com/product/17245372/hd-64-commodore-64-hdmi-output-fpga If you buy the kit, make sure to buy it from one of these two places. This video isn't sponsored, but it's a kind thing to buy this from a reseller that's working with the developer. Let's support cool projects like this. Speaking of cool projects... I got my purple Retro Fuzion case from the initial crowdfund, but it looks like you can still buy them here: https://www.retrofuzion.com/products/breadbin-case-set. If you need a new VIC-II, a good option if you can get it is the VIC-II Kawari, which will also hook you up with HDMI video out: https://accentual.com/vicii-kawari/ If you already have invested in an RGBtoHDMI setup, or just don't like soldering, I really like C0pperdragon's LumaCode project, and you can find out more at https://www.tindie.com/products/c0pperdragon/vic-ii-dizer/. Note that the LumaCode will need an RGBtoHDMI setup to work (unlike the build featured in today's video). Lastly: these videos take forever to make and I rely on community support to make Veronica Explains happen.
