Thanks for your question! I use S-video out of the C64 (much better than composite) and then through one of these converters to HDMI: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019T0WFA4/

They can hold 1-2k of info, depending on the type. Enough to hold the path/filename of the file to be loaded from an SD card or USB thumb drive.

Thank you, it's a lot of fun! :)

Thanks for your comment, eager to hear your plans/ideas. If you need a TeensyROM, I can help there too. :) Be sure to check out the other vids showing the SID being controlled externally, such as this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Xs3h59-dOU.html

@@TravsterOR Thanks. This summer I am beginning to repair or replace a lot of broken, aging hardware that's been out of commission for way too many years. I'm in the process of nursing my two "C64c"s and my two "flat" C128s back to health so I can return to using my classic CMD hardware which I bought when it was new. I'm also just now discovering the HDMI solutions which have appeared lately and I'd never heard of a TeensyROM until yesterday when I started watching these videos for it. I'm looking for a step-by-step list of parts I need to make this happen. There's all kinds of documentation online but no "front door" to the mansion. Is this hardware I can buy? If so, where? Is it something I have to assemble? If so, I may not be so good with that. Do I need software to make it work at all? I haven't found answers to these n00b questions yet. I have a Win10 laptop but mostly so I can punish it in a dark corner and snicker. Meanwhile, I have 2 nice Linux desktop PCs where I do all my audio and video work, and everything else. I'm really hoping I don't have to do Windows to use my Commodore in cool, new ways like this.

@@TravsterOR That video right there with ChipSynth... the final 3 minutes or so is *exactly* what I first attempted doing in 1996 and seriously want to return to doing as soon as I am able. I tried using my C64 as a sound source in the 90s and combined it with my Ensoniq EPS-16Plus workstation (sampler / sequencer / mixer... basically a full-featured onboard DAW). I never was able to do enough with it, though... but what's in this video right here is exactly where I want to land! Making original music just like that and beyond... combined with some real guitar... mixed in 4.0 and/or 5.1 which I'm experimenting with making already. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Xs3h59-dOU.html

@@TravsterOR Since I'll be working with 2, 3 or 4 Commodores + Linux (and Windows if I have no choice) I'm likely to be needing more than one TeensyROM. I was a CMD hardware junkie in the 90s and I still have all of it. It's just been out of commission. I enjoy having more than 1 of whatever I need and use.

@@LordHasenpfeffer That sounds excellent! There seems to be a bit of a movement in that direction lately as technology is starting to catching up with people's imaginations. There's been a lot of discussion in the TeensyROM Discord server's Music/SID channel about it as well. Here's an invite: discord.gg/ubSAb74S5U Definitely looking forward to hearing what you come up with. :)

Great to hear Paul, hope to get one in your hands soon! :)

Thank you so much for all your support @hExx64 Agree, this track has been stuck in my head... :)

Thank you very much Ben! It's always a pleasure. :)

Thank you! Indeed, hope you get to give NFC a try as well! :)

Thank you kindly, been wanting to do this for a while! :)

LOL. Is any of that other stuff really necessary when you could be playing with your C64 all the time now? ;) Coffee is important though, gotta make time for that. :)

Clearly you've never tried to play the newest Microsoft Flight Simulator through Steam. Just one middling update and you'll see: they took the C64 slow load experience to new eyelid-drooping levels. :D

Rush rules! :) deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/MUSICIANS/R/Rock/Tom_Sawyer.sid

Hell yes they do!!

Indeed, and they go together perfectly. :) Thanks!

Good eye! Go team Claypool!

I see what you did there. 😃

Good name! I was trying to come up with something clever like that...

Love the song choice! ;)

It was great hanging with you bud, what a fun day! Thanks again! 💜

Most definitely! Gaffer's tape is the best tape, everyone should own at least one roll! :)

Me either, love this community that we're a part of! 💜🥰

@@TravsterOR absolutely, it's so great seeing the mixing of so much talent and ideas!💡🪛 💜

@@TravsterOR If I could just get you into the guitar pedals community. :)

Thanks, but all credit goes to Richard! He did the demo and is planning to write a menu app for Flipper. :)

@@TravsterOR ah right, that makes sense! I should have been able to pick up on the clues! In that case, good luck to Richard in his endeavour. :)

Very busy! :) Not sure if you saw this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ixRSvr1UjGE.html Hope you're doing well, happy belated birthday!

@@TravsterOR great presentation!

There's a safeguard against re-starting the same one, but yes, another card would start a different game. The range isn't very far though, it would pretty much have to land right on the reader to execute. :)

Understandable, and you can still browse and search the menu the traditional way. :) Indeed, there are over 2000 games in the OneLoad64 collection for example, this is just a fun way to launch some favorites. Cards are pretty cheap though. Who knows, you might end up with a full book of cards to select from. :)

Thank you very much, we've had fun developing it! :)

Thanks for your question! Only the PN532 module types are compatible, see the hardware options listed here: github.com/SensoriumEmbedded/TeensyROM/blob/main/docs/NFC_Loader.md

The fun kind! :)

Thank you , we appreciate the feedback! :)

Indeed, would have seemed like some sort of magic in the 80s :)

1988: Lunch break at school, run to the computer lab and get Ghostbusters loading, often got a solid 12 minutes of play before the bell rang

Mom: Don't pay that much time on computer games. Me: You can half my computer time by purchasing a floppy drive😊

Sound logic @@vertujoe2886 :)

Seems like magic even now! If I had a time machine I could blow some minds in the 1980's! ​@@TravsterOR

LOL! Maybe I can add a "slow load" option that just waits a half hour to run each one. ;)

Thank you! The files themselves are on an SD card on the TeensyROM, the NFC cards point to the files to tell it which to execute. Cards can be programmed easily right in the TeensyROM aplication, or alternately using a cell phone. There are lots of details here: github.com/SensoriumEmbedded/TeensyROM/blob/main/docs/NFC_Loader.md Just let me know if you have any other questions, thanks!

@@TravsterOR This seems very similar to tapecart, but i loath the way tapecart only seems to support the fat32 file system on the SD card? When organizing the files on the tennsyROM what file system does it support? Fatx? Long filenames ect....? Amazing speed.. This is what the gsc64 could of been....

@@rfxtuber Thank you for your query! The SD (or USB Thumb drive) support FAT16, FAT32, or exFAT, and long filenames are fine. If you haven't already, I'd recommend checking out some of the other TeensyROM demo vids that further demostrate speed, menu navigation, etc. Thanks again!

@@TravsterOR That's awesome Travstor tnxs for that, i will indeed be checking this out... I WANT IT!!! 😄 As an aside, would it be possible to add some kind of keyboard support to a c64gs via the tennsyROM?

@@rfxtuber Thank you! :) That's definitely something I've thought about... Adding a USB keyboard to the Teensy is relatively easy, I've actually done that for other projects. However, getting the C64 to take key presses through the expansion port is a bit daunting. This would likely require a custom Kernal, which would be a bit of a pain for all. Still investigating other ways to do it, it's definitely "on the list" of things to look at more deeply 😊

Did you notice the background music in the second half? 😉 💜

@@TravsterOR I did! That's so cool! 😎

It's "The faster way to lose at a game" LOL!

Thank you StatMat, it was your vision that paved the way! :)

@@TravsterOR it's been a fantastic team effort! Thanks for your invaluable assistance to make it a reality. :)

Here's the details, there's links for everything. Just let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! github.com/SensoriumEmbedded/TeensyROM/blob/main/docs/NFC_Loader.md

Intellivision…. And that looks like PoP Dos version….

You have some awesome ramblings, please keep it up! :)

Amazing job on this! I love the design of the label.

Thank you! It pairs well with OneLoad64! :) 💜

You got it! Agreed, it's an obscure but fun little game! :)

Good news, happy playing!
