+SpiceWare Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Just ran across this video about the VIC-II Kawari, a replacement video chip for the C=64. Besides normal luma/chroma/composite output it also supports VGA and HDMI. There was an unexpected "feature" where the HDMI cable powered the C64. the 16 colors can be modified, and new graphics modes are planned including an 80 column text mode that's demoed in the video. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofster Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 The creator of the Kawari has shared work in progress videos for the VIC-II replacement for the past year if you want to rewind or dig deeper. https://www.youtube.com/user/r3rossi/videos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzspeed Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I'll be buying one of these when it's finally released for sure, the 16 colour 80 columns as it's own hardware graphics mode is fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
