1,054I made an S-Video cable for my Commodore 64 to have better quality video output. This improves the picture quality significantly.
I basically followed ilesj's great tutorial:

Here's the correct type of DIN connector plus lots of other interesting things:

The DIN connector you need is an 8-pin DIN 41524 262°. (Search for this number online to find the right one. Thanks to @casian64 on Twitter!)
You can download the test pattern generator I used here (from my personal Box account, so no viruses or malware there):

Another way to support me (without having to spend any more money than you normally would) is to use my Amazon affiliate links.
If you buy stuff on Amazon, you can use the below links to get to your country’s Amazon site and I will get a small share of what you pay there. You can buy whatever you like and use this link as your regular Amazon link if you want to. The price and everything else stays the same for you. I consider this an okay (and easy) way to give me some support.
