    Hi, I decided to play some games on my commodore 64 only for the computer to not output any kind of picture, not even a black screen, but the power LED turns on. I tried both composite and RF and neither had any picture.

    Been playing Starmaster and Dodge 'Em with my Wico bat joystick that I bought yesterday.

    When I first heard of Vanguard, I thought it was an original game by atari. It wasn't until a while after that I figured out it was an arcade game by SNK.

    Mine was a 2600 jr. that I bought off ebay in 2012. It came with the system itself (of course), the power supply, an RF cable along with a female rca to male coaxial converter, 4 games, and a 3rd party joystick. It was one of the game systems that got me into retro games along with the NES.

    I remember trying to play Sonic the Hedgehog with an atari joystick and it worked. Though the only reason why I tried that was because the genesis controller that came with my genesis had dirty contacts.

    I've only played one EM game. (A Williams Blue Chip pinball machine.) But I do like researching about these machines. It's fascinating to know how these companies managed to pull off these special effects before video arcade games came around.

    I made it through the first mission in Shinobi for the c64 and I get greeted to long multiload times.

      It needs more time to build up the awesome.

      That's nothing. You ain't lived until you play Fahrenheit 451 and swap disks every command line you type in.

    Been playing Midnight Magic lately. Definitely a great pinball game for the Atari VCS.

    I collect games to play them, but if I get a duplicate of a game I already have that is different variant, then I'll keep it.

    Now I want to see supercharger games on 4-track, reel to reel, and maybe even cylinder records!

    Scored a commodore 64 floppy drive and some 5 1/4 inch floppy disc to go with it!

    Well, it's 2016, and I don't feel a difference from 2015.

      You look a lot different.

      I feel a difference. I feel it's finally time to finish making an Atari 2600 game this year. I'll see if I can keep it within 4k.

    It was a third party PS from somewhere else.
  16. The Mr. Video
    My new third-party PSU got delivered today, I tested it out and it works! Now I can finally play the games I bought for it. Thanks for the help!

    Hi, yesterday I turned on my c64, only to have it display a black screen with a dim power LED, which then turns to a white screen. It does correctly boot up, but that rarely happens. Any help would be nice.

    I think commando raid should have used the paddle controllers. I find it pretty hard to aim with the joystick in that game, so that extra precision would help.

    Update I figured out how to hook up a c64 to a tv using a monitor cable. You plug the yellow and red cables into a y adapter, This way, both the chroma and luma signals are combined into one signal and plug, you plug the male end of the y adapter into the video port, and you plug the white cable into the white audio port. Now I have a good, color picture with no white noise. Anyway, thanks for the help.

    Why is my c64 doing random things?

      Virus maybe?

    I've tried changing the channels in hopes of fine-tuning it, but nothing happened. Also, the RF signal went black and white again.
  23. The Mr. Video
    Update: Somehow I got color when using RF, problem is, I get white noise when I use RF on my tv, but there is no white noise when I use it on a different tv.
  24. The Mr. Video
    I hope I don't have to replace the RF modulator, I don't know where to find a new one.
  25. The Mr. Video
    I'm using a composite cable with 8 pins on it. Also the picture is in black and white on RF too.
