Wow, okay. Wasn't expecting so much interest in my last video. So some further demonstrations of Chris's (@HamsterSnr) VGA Adaptor, this time doing more with a cartridge expander and the Penultimate cartridge on my Japanese VIC-1001.

I will do a Part 3 once I find my SD2IEC ...

For more info on the board, check out Chris's posts in the VIC-20 Facebook group (search for "vga" in the group):

The board does have a selectable RAM expansion on it but I'm having trouble getting it past 11755 bytes - Chris will do some further troubleshooting with me when he's back from holiday. Not a deal breaker for me as the Penultimate also has a RAM expansion.

It also does have some limitations with colours: the VGA card supports the eight base colours of the VIC, however the colours mixed with grey (like pink for Donkey Kong) are unsupported.
