Success! The MOS6567/MOS8562 to MOS6566 adapter is working.🥳 So far I was only able to test it with a 6567 but I have a 8562 on the way.🤞 Would be interesting if it works with a J-VIC once it's out. #RetroGaming #RetroComputing #Commodore #MaxMachine #C64

Newest addition to the collection is #JawBreaker II for the #Commodore #C64. The upper half of the box is in extremely tatty condition. Other than that, it's in fairly good shape, given its age. #RetroGaming #RetroComputing

Ah, so many sponsored tweets, so many accounts to block, sigh. Thought I'd make an exception for this, but after checking their prices I decided otherwise. Goodbye.👋

I am opensourcing my MOS6566 adapter board for the #Commodore #MaxMachine. github.com/RetroWizzard/M… You can also order boards directly from PCBWay at : pcbway.com/project/sharep… #RetroComputing #C64

Newest addition to the collection is #NarcoPolice for the #Commodore #C64 as a cartridge. This is incredibly rare and from what I can tell it's an original. I would know, because I previously reverse engineered this pcb design.😉 #RetroGaming #RetroComputing #Dinamic

It's my Birthday, so treated myself to this latest addition to my collection. A #SegaMarkIII, ancestor to the Master System. Lovely machine, unfortunately it's missing the little knobs from the gamepads. If you know of a good 3D model for these, let me know. #RetroGaming #Sega

A generous friend sent me a MOS8562 for testing in my adapter. I've already confirmed it works with a MOS6567, but these are harder to come by by the minute. Should be an interesting test.🤞 #RetroComputing #RetroGaming #Commodore #MaxMachine

Eureka it works!🥳 This adapter replacement for the MOS6566 can either use a MOS6567 or a MOS8562. With the latter the picture quality is even better and since it runs on 5V there's less heat. Next step: Create an SMD variant. #RetroGaming #RetroComputing #Commodore #MaxMachine

We are so happy with how "Timo's Castle" #Commodore64 physical release has turned out for us at BitmapSoft & Roman Werner & team and getting these prepped for shipping. It turned out pretty sweet, & pictures don't do the quality justice. It's been worth the wait. #c64 #retrogames

Newest addition to the collection is #RainbowIslands for the #Commodore #C64. Just look at this beauty.😍 The box is in Ocean format which was also used on their cartridge releases. I wish there was a cartridge version. Maybe I can come up with something.🤔 #RetroGaming

Went to one of the largest flea markets in Switzerland today. Was lucky and caught these games for €9.50 a pop. A fair price since sellers started the habit of googling prices first and going with the highest price on eBay. Bad for flea markets. #RetroGaming #PlayStation #PS1

Headlines in a cartridge is an expansion for some really old HP laserprinter, but I forgot what model. I'm giving this away for free, because I have absolutely no use for it. Just raise your hand if you're interested. #Retrocomputing

Lunchtime walk around the block and found these for free on the side of the road.🤯 I wonder if stuff like that happens in other countries too, or is it just Switzerland.🤔 #Xbox #Xbox_One #GamersUnite

Newest addition to the collection is #CarrierAces for the #SuperNintendo. An airplane dogfighting simulation. It comes with a detailed manual containing tactical advice. I miss the times when games came with a real manual. Paid €20 for it. #RetroGaming #SNES #Nintendo

Happy Anniversary Timo McClane. Exact 1 year ago the "Timo's Castle" journey startet with an E-Mail in my inbox from Timo Weingärtner wishing he could be part of making a C64 game...
