C64 Upgrade: HDMI (Kawari), Ultimate 2+, SID Options, ArcadeR Joystick Mods and a lot more!
36We upgrade and modernize a Commodore 64 making it HDMI-capable with the Kawari Mod, which also allows us to switch between PAL and NTSC.
For Data Transfer a Ultimate 2+ is being used, and we are checking and comparing it's emulation with SwinSID and an Original SID. For input devices we check out the ArcadeR and mod it. We also have a look at the wireless "Turbo 2000 Super Wireless Gamepad V2" and check its range.
Lastly we have a look at how a VGA-CRT can be connected using a Retrotink 4k anschließt, including Skaling and Latencies/Delays.
