You could also try the game Mayhem In Monsterland which Jens is referring to:

Ok Mayhem works perfect in my C=64 (some minutes I've tried it), but the Insomnia demo gives graphic corruption after maybe 20 seconds.

I will open another thread if necessary, but I want to know if there is a possible fix I can try.



Edit: Yes, I know you'll tell me I've got to play more with Mayhem to get to the fast scrolling, but well, it has the problems faster with the demo.

Either my machine is perfect or I just haven't noticed these issues....

I suggest you try this and this. I.e. VSP test/demo written by the guy who finally nailed the cause of the crashes...

The first link might not be so useful since it is meant to show how VSP can be made to work even on machines which would normally crash. But the last one looks like a good choice.

Tried the second one

Ran for 1hr from cold, power cycled C64, ran for another hour. No errors.
Ran attached demo for 5 mins on each VSP channel, no crashes/issues.
Looks like my C64 is good

I don't see any problem with the VSP Lab, but as I've already said Insomnia gives graphic corruption after some seconds, and that doesn't happen on the PC with C64 Forever.

I get Graphics corruption on my 84 Breadbin within seconds when running the VSP utility.

It manifests as a large flickering mostly black bar across the bottom half of the screen (across full width inc borders).

Can the WDC 65C02 processor works in the Commodore 64?

Nope. The illegal opcodes aren't compatible, what disqualifies it for any program, that's not being BASIC.

Ok, I just noticed that it was used TurboMaster accelerator cartridge.

Any news on the beloved ACA2000? My a2k is asking for it...

PD: First post, so, hello everyone! I'm very glad to be here

first off, welcome aboard

secondly, your ACA2000 will arrive only after my ACA1000 is here as my A1k deserves it more

I have another question, if mr. Schoenfeld is reading the thread. Will it keep the local hardware expansion port of the ACA500? It would be amazing to mount the future ethernet &usb ports in the accelerator bracket without using zorro slots

Regards VSP, I tried the Insomnia demo. Copied to 1 Disk and it ran both sides all the way through on my C64 with out any noticeable problems. So I would assume my C64 is OK

Thats a brilliant design, I wish the aca12xx series had S/DIMM slots and CPU sockets too!

"The 68030 CPU sits in a socket, so the user can increase the performance with a faster processor and crystal oscillator. "

What does it mean? The first ACA 040 is for the A600?

Apparently it's a prototype of the aca630, socketed cpu just means you could put a 50mhz 030 and crystal for faster operation.

Don't think we'll see an 040 or 060 in an A600,unless there is some FPGA implementation in the future.

[Retrofan]

Thanks. Well, anyway it seems a great machine.

Yes that is a photo from 2006
