The Experiment and new retro coputer stuff

First of all, I've found A Retro computer on Ebay. An Vic-20. Ends this sunday, more of that later. Still no Amstrad tape testing, I got much to do right now. And Just Now, listening on The retrobits Podcast, and it is great, Earl knows what he is talking about.

Writing to you later, oh, getting an Webcam Monday or atleast Thuesday. Then Posting more pictures, atleast one picture per point.

future Experimenting

Some day now I will do a big test with my Spectrum tapes. I got an Emulator for the Spectrum system. And with that I can load Wav or Voc files directly into the system. And then start the game. I did buy the tapes (2 of them) for cheap price. 4 Euro did everything cost. (on a secondhand here in Åland)

But I won't do it now these days, I need time and peace for it, to think if something goes wrong.
But i'll let you know when the time and test is.

And a message to you Unsource, I didn't do it today but I will do it near future.
But I will also write it when I do it.
So once again than's for your tip.

Picture later of them, I have ordered an Webcam aswell so I can soon post pictures of that I am talking about.

Mu TFT LCD TV

Finaly my TFT LCD TV has arrived.

it is 20" and great for me. Not too big and not too smal, a Bigger TV takes so much space and my room is smal.

Did buy too a cable that converts c64 TV signals to standard European Scart cable. No more seeking for the channel in TV, just plug in and start to play.

Easy and fun.

The TV got 15 ms responding time, it is quite big but an human eye doesn't see the difference in moving picture between 8-15 so i thought if I can't see the difference between 20ms (laptop) and my TFT screen on my computer (2 ms) so why would I see the difference then in 15 ms?

Even the flickering picture when you load games from tape is good, no mixing of colors, it is exactly (almost) like in my old TV but this is mych sharper.

Did the test by loading some demos on my c64. and one Game. Everything works fine.

The game were on tape where i did the flickering test and watched how the screen is, and the demos from a 5,26' floppy disk. Sidescroll, scroll from bottom to up and diagonal scroll, everything floats smoothly, nothing to complain.

A perfect TV for me. Say no more :D
