Donkey Kong for the #Commodore #Plus4 looks fantastic! https://www.indieretronews.com/2025/07/donkey-kong-for-commodore-plus4-looks.html

If you have a dead 8501 CPU I can absolutely recommend the 6502 adapter by MCes. It is very compatible and uses a regular 6502A CPU (or 6502 known to be working at 1.8MHz) and fits nicely inside the C16. There is also a variant with slightly modified layout for the Plus/4.

New video! I'm building a Magic Desk style multi program cartridge for the Commodore 264 line of machines.

Ich wusste gar nicht, dass das 64'er Magazin auf #Mastodon ist. Super cool! Merci. Direkt mal folgen…

Many hours later… it’s far from perfect but I’m happy I did it (some major discoloration on the backside, some of my supports were very unfortunately placed so I had to do a bit of filing but it works). Closeups are too embarrassing. I’m still a 3d printing noob. #C16 #C116 #Plus4 #Cartridge

I built a C264 Magic Cart (which is a Magic Desk style cartridge for the C16/116/Plus4 which can access up to 2MB of software from EPROMs). It’s very cool indeed!

The C16 from @eazy is fully restored. The broken 64K mod was replaced with one from Idörégész. The cut traces were restored. So if anyone wants to bring the C16 back to factory condition, it is now possible. Although the mainboard is a bit beat up, and the bottom shell has two cutouts. Would be nice to have a replacement bottom shell...

New video: C1531 Datassette Refurb
The Commodore Datassette is a very classic and iconic piece of equipment. It had a couple of variants. Today we have a black C1531 for the Commodore 264 range of computers: C116, C16 and Plus/4. It has some mechanical issues that we will try to fix.

Cleaning and testing a 1531 tape drive. Courtesy of @eazy. This one only had mechanical issues. Watching a tape load is kind of mesmerizing.

I think I see a pattern here...
If you ever buy an 8501 make sure it is the R4 variant. I think the R1 are all dead by now...

But what is VERY weird on this machine is that you can HEAR the IEC bus. It only happens on disk transfers. I really want to figure out why this happens.

Boy, #mastertronic had its artwork nailed.

OMG, @martin_piper is selling his Commodore 65.
Wish I had the necessary cash, but I'm afraid this will forever remain a dream for me.
Fun fact: the C65 has a 50 pin cartridge slot, much like the #Plus4 and unlike the #Mega65.

Now let's have a quick peek into our own C116! Which is in much better condition than that extreme refurb one. But ours also has some dead or almost dead keys. Well... rubber membrane keyboards...

This is the ominous MOS8501 CPU used in the Plus/4, C16 and C116. And this R1 variant is of course dead. All in all it’s just a slightly higher clocked 6502.
