I teased DesTest VIC20 at VCF Montreal. Today I've released it. Take a look here: factorofmatt.com/destest-vic20 There are two binaries: one for use on a standard 8K cartridge and one as a replacement kernal.

Feels like ages since I built anything but I finally got around to making my Destest Max Switch. Now I just need to find some more non-working C64s as I've recently got all mine working.

Who is coming to the World Of Commodore 2025 this weekend? woc.tpug.ca You're coming, @trinastechnobabble.bsky.social aren't you?

Hey folks. Tomorrow, Thursday, October 23,, 2025, at 2pm eastern I am going to be installing memory on a 286 mommyboard. Come watch the fun and see if I can get a solid beep after installing the memory. youtube.com/live/eJ5gL9O...

Well, Lee, Adrian and Mark - how about this? DesTestKernal - a version of DesTest that you can program onto an appropriate PROM as a replacement for the C64 kernal ROM. When cartridges fail you, this little beauty might just get the job done! factorofmatt.com/destestkernal

Yesterday I was goaded by @morefunmakingit.bsky.social and @adriansdigitalbasement.com (with @theretrochannel.bsky.social as a likely accomplice). Now what do I do? www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgPN...
