BeamRacer

@MoR33z @ObiwanC64 1. The pinout is equivalent to the component J1 here: github.com/c0pperdragon/A… 2. Nope. 3. The idea was to support c0pperdragon's component video board for C64 directly: github.com/c0pperdragon/C…

@ObiwanC64 @beam_racer I have a question about this VideoMod Connector.   1. is there a pin assignment for this? 2. can I directly tap video signals (Component/S-Video/etc.) ? 3. or can this connector only be used in combination with another board?

@beam_racer works great with VicII-dizer :)

Something electrifying is coming from @madhackerslab... retrousbpower.com Stay tuned. Stay powered. #Amiga #USBC #Power #Retrocomputing #Commodore

If the only thing stopping you from ordering your own #BeamRacer were the payment options, you will be glad to know that PayPal is now supported: #pricing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">beamracer.net/#pricing #c64 #retrocomputing

@tynemouthsw This can lead to all sort of “funny” issues - see e.g., #undervoltage" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wiki.icomp.de/wiki/Powersupp… for details. (3/3)

@tynemouthsw voltage on the mainboard. This is especially problematic with “narrow” and/or expanded C64 boards, as they draw substantially more current from the 5V line – just last weekend I measured two “modern” PSUs only able to maintain around 4.65V. (2/3)

Either I am a time traveler, or @rayovac is a tad optimistic about their batteries' expiry dates.

BeamRacer is exhibiting at Moonshine Dragons 2022 Party in Opole, Poland. demozoo.org/parties/4241/ Come and say hi to VASYL and @silverdr.

Need more of this today pls

With the end of COVID on the horizon, it's time to get ready for #BeamRacer programming on the go. #c64 #sx64

@AljandroPrez @ricardoquesada @pungas64 Thank you! This settles it.

@beam_racer @ricardoquesada @pungas64 values: * PAL-N --> 14.32822 * NTSC --> 14.31818 My motherboard did have some mods this picture is from an unmodified board (thanks uctumi!)

@ricardoquesada Hi Ricardo. Do you know what is the frequency of the crystal next to VIC-II in your Drean? Is it really 14.3282?

@ricardoquesada @pungas64 Thanks, I appreciate it.

@beam_racer @pungas64 I might be able to look at it next weekend.

@ricardoquesada @pungas64 What are the markings on this crystal?

@beam_racer mmm, how can I tell? If you tell me exactly where to look, I might be able to do that. You might want to ask @pungas64 which might have different Drean C64s...

Black Friday! Get #BeamRacer with a nice discount, free shipping, and a free VideoMod connector. This is the final batch made before the component shortage intensified, so order while supplies last. beamracer.net #c64 #commodore64 #RetroComputing

@ezContents @MindFlareRetro @thejanbeta @craig1black @bwack77 @svenpetersen191 @NoelsRetroLab @leelegionsmith @devzine_pl @staack_thomas Not all, but many. Happy to help.

Is there anyone that has all the C64 MB revisions and would like to test this PLA replacement? I tested it on 250425 board. @MindFlareRetro @thejanbeta @craig1black @bwack77 @svenpetersen191 @NoelsRetroLab @leelegionsmith @devzine_pl @staack_thomas ? I still have some PCBs left.

@alannakelly_ie It could have something to do with a non-default VIC-II bank used by the FLI demo.

Even more interesting - if you turn VGA off the Turbo Chameleon still interferes the Beam Racer on FLI.

This is interesting. The @beam_racer and TC64 V2 play nicely with easy other.
