  1. Thank you, I appreciate it, and Albert for allowing me to get my copy a wee bit early!
  2. Yes congratulations! What you and your team have is a gift. A skill that few people have ever obtained. Please continue to share your gifts with us!
  3. Congrats... Reminds me of combat a bit...
  4. Yeah exactly, when I ordered my case from icomp.de, the shipping was the same price as the case, however I am in the U.S. and it arrived within 2 days from Germany which was impressive.
  5. Great work! Sourcing all those parts had to be expensive, but it is all part of the hobby. Curious if anyone knows how the Sixtyclone compare to the C64 reloaded MK2 from also from Individual computers.
  6. Yeah I've heard that as well and I already knew you cannot as of yet, switch disks. Also the NTSC version, I believe I read is experimental...(looking it up...) I don't expect perfection and I am happy with the cartridge, especially knowing they are continuously working on firmware improvements. Initially this cartridge was PAL only and was updated to support NTSC. This excerpt may explain many of the issues I was demonstrating... KimJorgensen/KungFuFlash: Cartridge for the Commodore 64 that packs a punch (github.com) Limitations Kung Fu Flash is a so called Software Defined Cartridge where a fast microcontroller emulates cartridge hardware in software. This makes it extremely flexible, allowing different cartridge types to be supported at a relative low cost. However, it can be challenging to get the C64 bus timing correct in software and in some places the timing is very close to the limit. Even though Kung Fu Flash has been tested on different models of the Commodore 64, there is a chance that it doesn't work correctly on your specific model. Use it at your own risk! Kung Fu Flash will work with the PAL version of the Commodore 64 or Commodore 128. Support for the NTSC version is still considered experimental. Disk drive emulation is using kernal vectors and will not work with fast loaders or software that uses direct hardware access which a lot of games does. Currently REL files are not supported and there is only limited write support.
  7. Thank you guys for your comments and suggestions! I think cleaning the pads is always a good suggestion, can't hurt. I went to try that however the cart port on the C64 is female, duh, and I am not sure how to clean in between those contacts? Any ideas? I did however clean the contacts on the Kung Fu cartridge itself and it was actually quite dirty, much more than I expected. I assume probably from the old dirty C64 breadbins I tried. out. I don't discount the possibility that there could be some issue with my C64c, but it works with all my other cartridges, including the 1541 Ultimate 2+. Unfortunately, I don't have another C64c to test the Kung Fu cart with. I recorded a quick video to demonstrate some of the issues I was having with the NTSC Kung Fu Cartridge:
  8. I just received my Ntsc cart and upgraded to latest firmware 1.30 ... I've noticed a few issues. It's not compatible with my c64c... No biggie. I hooked up a breadbin c64 and I noticed game saves do not work the ones I tried.. The new bagman release by Luca Carmonati and Neptune lander elite ... Also a few disk game don't load all the way up before crashing... I understand games with 2 disks are a problem but I cannot get to that point with disk 1 of below the root or with the Ultima 4 remastered. The cart games seem fine... I was wondering if I am an isolated case or if these are sort of known issues with the experimental ntsc disk version.
  9. Pretty cool.. Looks like a powered on console without cartridge as you said...
  10. Great idea, and perhaps even links to helpful sites/etc.
  11. Darn it, has it been 6 months, lol... I guess I have to finish episode up 41 now... ?
  12. All great choices, and I concur with your picks...
  13. I don't know, if the VGC liked it so much why didn't Zookeeper merrit an A or A+, still high praise though and well deserved!
  14. Thanks, I've seen related articles about this game before, but it is always interesting. Perhaps one day AI can figure out the algorithm of "Entombed"...
  15. Merlin 64 or 128? I did a quick video covering Merlin 64 a while back..
  16. Are you selling them individually or as a group and how much are you asking?
  17. Congrats, happy BD and thanks for all your hard work!
  18. My condolences go out to his family and to the Atariage family.
  19. Yes but not just in English, all languages please and let's not forget the DVDs directors cuts as well. Lol... ? (sorry my attempt at humor)
