Sadly, manufacturing in China is not subject to the same regulations as in Europe and varies from superb to suspect. I bought a PC sound card on eBay which simply buzzed with the activity of the processor.

Wow, thats not good Tommy. Good that your house not is in fire. Good luck wishes. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands

the component (with 4 legs) between the primary and secondary side is an opto coupler for feed back for controlling the output voltage.

Looks like a Meanwell unit is in your future... hope this didn't damage your drive.

I've had one like that before, they're often sold as IDE power supplies. From memory the switching transistor blew in mine but it did the exact same thing as yours. Blew the fuse and burned one of the primary traces, can't remember if it also tripped the breaker. Looks like on yours the octocoupler had a misshap but the result is the same 🔥

Half an hour to get to actual gameplay footage.....HALF AN HOUR....... And then we discover it's closer to plaything THROUGH a C64 vs ON a C64.

Well, this is not bad at all and I wish you show less products in one short (if this will benefit you) or put a link to the product for more details.

im on your side tommy ..nice stuff..

the MC68000 does not have 16bit address bus, it has 24bit address bus but the data bus is just 16bit wide, meanwhile the registers are 32bit.

Trist med temu sellout. Håper du bare sletter dette og vi later som at det aldri skjedde

Oye... unsubbed.

I'd like to know more details about how that differs from the C64's original CPU, oh yes!

Ttevligt med lite Atari 😀👍

Its basically remote desktop. It works using dma, its like nuvi but the video is being rendered in real time.

Your summer is very short. Here (Ankara) is still 30 C. Nice video, thanks ❤

I had a giggle at the "Fix months between august and December" commit, the last commit made on my current project was "Fixed Wednesdays" hehehe

Nice going Tommy!! To bad with the sound. And a Amiga joystick works with atari :)

Another great stream Tommy, Atari STE's have PCM audio outputs that the audio jacks fit. 👍

Hey! That's my weird fish language 😂

Golden Axe is a well known game for Sega and arcade..

those RCA cables coming out of your video connector are you audio, just plug that into your monitor or some speakers. The audio is on the same connector as the video.

Great work my love🧿🧿🧿😘😘☺️

I just got the ST emulator for Pi. It’s pretty good.

As always, I am a little late watching. At first I thought this keyboard was lost. Mechanically broken completely. But hey, along comes Tommy with ways of fixing I didn't dream of. One neat old machine brought back to life! Then advanced by adding a connection to the outside to have it work with a modern chip, wow. I never had such a machine and am not so interested in getting one. But it was very interesting to see how it is built-up and working again. Many thanks for another great video.

Just picked up a Z240IE-DS71 with bad NVMe drive. Great idea to up the capacity. I'm going to 512GB. Drive is M.2 2280 Sata III TGFF. Thinking about upgrading the storage drive while ASUS is open. IIRC, it is a cheap 5,400 rpm spinner. I have a 7,200 rpm Hitachi which will do.

Great video. I recently got a 1701 monitor. I need to take it apart to repair a crack. I am nervous about the crt myself

is it interlaced? what about the 80 column adapter and the super cpu?

why not just use the video output from the pi?

Throughout the years I have seen many repair videos. Some specialists lock themselves up in the basement or attic to concentrate more. Then they look at the patient and the diagnose is quickly made. When it is a sick Commodore, then it always is always not one of the biggest chips, but one of the smaller ones, When it is a Sinclair then most the time it is one from the bottom row of chips, sometimes one row higher. Always I wonder, why did they break their computer in the first place? If people play all the time the same game, then always the same parts wear out. By playing stupid games people break their own computer. People must stop using computers in the way they do. And if their computer breaks down, it is always because they played the game wrongfully! No more computer for them, for one last time it will be repaired, then it is going to be locked up in the cupboard and no more gaming!

I appreciate you went trough the possible 'troubles' also..

hehehe... 'Delemaskin' :] Greetings from a german, speaing danish...

Hey Tommy, you can use superglue and some baking soda to fill in holes in plastic.

are you using supports for this print ?

Nice one Tommy, Alan Sugar wanted to monopolise on Joysticks and changed the port layout on the +2 to only work with his joysticks. You can make an adapter to work with standard joysticks. Keep up the good work 👍

good one tommy! i dont get why the control and joystck is such a big issue with those spectrums ....but nice job on the keyboard and loading the games and fixing the machine!!

Very useful video, thanks ❤
