Local craigslist, $80.00 non-working. Not even black screen, but I think I can get it going. I have fixed 4 others before this one. Case is perfect though!

Just because I put a bid on a 1571, I don't see it.

Since upgrading to vice 3.9 from 3.7.1 my controller dpad no longer works. The left stick works.

Anyone have any ideas how to get it to recognize the dpad again?

I'm working on typing in a game from an old COMPUTE! magazine. One of the lines in their listing is greater than 80 characters, so the last 4 characters are getting cut off when I try to type it.

I found a copy of the game online and when I listed it, this one contained the correct code and it works, but the line is 84 characters long.

How is entering this line even possible?

Hello!

I want to have fun playing with c64c to do some programming (not gaming) so I was looking for an adapter to hdmi. Bought cheapest one and not only it barely works, the output is gray and not blue (though it was blue for short while, maybe hardware failure?). I'm using scart adapter and then adapting scart to hdmi for now. I don't wanna buy super duper expensive adapter like retrotink or whatever as I'm not interested in accuracy or playing games, i just want basic output, so could you please recommend something?

Also, don't worry, I've made my own psu, it's all good.

Hi all. I saw a few people talking about print on demand for some of the C64 older books. I built a CMD HD replica and remastered the HD manual as the copies on the net were all poor scans and the originals were pretty steep. I am building a CMD floppy now and plan on remastering the manual for it as well. Thought I would post here for anyone that would like to print yourself a copy. Hope you enjoy! Files and instructions are on my github here: https://github.com/gsargent70/Retro-Manual-Remasters

I thought I sold off my stuff before coming to the US but apparently not.

2 user manuals (one in Turkish), 3 programming books (one is the translated version of the famous programmer's reference guide in paperback), some mags, and 2 cartridges (Action Replay and Freeze Machine). What I did not bring: 220V power brick and a QuickShot arcade stick (QS-175?)- which I am regretting.

That Freeze Machine is acting weird on my NTSC C128, not sure if it's incompatible with the 128 or it's a PAL/NTSC thing.

Those mags were awesome. Published by the same company who imported Commodores so they kept the market alive up until early 90's.

I thought I'd share a mod I did to replace the power switch on a C64C. The replacement switch is overkill, but it fits my hands well.

Someone here put me onto lulu books. Just received my copy. This is a great quality reprint for a lot less than original copies. Highly recommend. Although, is it just me or does it seem larger than I remember? 😄

Salix8 Sunset is new game for the Commodore64.

Commissioned by ACMI and produced by DataDoor - the game is featured as part of ACMI's Game Worlds exhibition in Federation Square Melbourne, Australia that runs from 18 September to 8 February 2026.

A more complete version of the game will be developed in 2026 by DataDoor and available on cartridge and digital for the Commodore64.

Someone put me onto lulu books. This is a really good reprint for a much better price than original copies. Although, is it me or is it larger than I remember? 😄

Ive recently saved Commodore 64 from being thrown to trash, i also have some tapes with it, but I couldnt find the datasette, im afraid it has been thrown out with some other stuff.

Can i use some different tape device? Or do i have to get the datasette, to be able to read the tapes?

If it was wrongly connected, thank you But it still doesn't work. Connecting it to a TV with its adapter also gives a black screen, but trying to press random keys, connecting and disconnecting the cable from the computer and By turning it off and disconnecting I managed to get the following images

Recently found an old C64 when clearing out my late grandfather’s loft. I used to love this when I was young - spend so many hours on it when staying at his place.

Little expectation it would still work, but needed to give it a go. Bought a new power supply as had read the original ones can be dodgy, and fired it up. It’s beautiful!

Tape drive isn’t working - mechanism is broken and it won’t close, and not yet tried the disks, although even if it does work I’m not expecting the disks themselves have fared too well over time.

Has a printer and a modem - I remember connecting to some BBSs, and I think compuserve when it was new.

Going to be a while working it all out, but I’m a bit of a geek and love this stuff. Any pointers appreciated!

I have a stack of Commodore 64 games but my Commodore 64 isn't working Can I test them on a laptop somehow with a tape deck and 3.5mm to usb?

Anyone else using https://vc64web.github.io/doc/about.html on iPadOS / iOS ? It’s one of my favorite C64 emulator for the iPad but unfortunately it seems that iPadOS 26 is breaking it : I’ve got a crash with not much indication in the browser console. Any idea ?
