I bought an old C64C from a friend last Sunday.<\/p>\n

Sorry about the blurry pic, the rear camera in my phone needs replacing. I have one here and intend to do so this weekend.<\/p>\n

Progress so far: keyboard filled up!<\/p>\n

This is what I have ready to build a PSU. The 9V AC adaptor (in the post) will plug in to the Belkin. The USB cable will be cut, and both soldered into the DIN plug. I also have shrink tubing in the post to make a good job of that connection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the composite cable arrives I’ll be able to power it on and test it. Once I know it powers on, I’ll replace the capacitors. Solder sucker and braid also purchased for the operation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once I know it’s all working well, I’ll add an SD2IEC device so I’ll be able to treat SD cards as disks, and a joystick, and I’ll be ready for action!<\/p>\n

The last part of this project will have to wait until next summer though. The most tedious part, but the one that will complete its look. Retro brighting!<\/p>\n

This won’t be taking over from my game development. That’s going to continue as normal (whatever that is) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
