Chameleon V2 standalone

Quote from celco001

Dear all.

Sorry if this has been posted already or the question sounds stupid, but I'm really a noob with the Chameleon V2.

I want to run the Chameleon as standalone as I don't have a C64 (yet). When I connect all the cables to the Chameleon as instructed, nothing happens on my screen. I see the red and green light flashing once on the Chameleon when connecting power cable and 1 time the red light again. Then nothing on my screen.

Did I forgot something such as software on a SD card or do i need to flash a core before to start working with the Chameleon ?

Sorry for these noob questions.

Are you sure your power supply delivers enough power? I tried my TC64 V2 in standalone with some power supplies that did not have enough juice and got a black screen if I remember correctly. It should boot up with no SD card and you shouldn't need to do anything special.

Of course you can put games on the SD card It has to be SD or SDHC (not SDXC) and must be FAT formatted (see manual).

Just want to inform that even though SDXC is not officially supported, I use a 128GB SDXC Samsung card in FAT32 mode. Works perfectly

I use this: https://www.24hshop.no/minneko…vngLz3S5qK1oaAtQvEALw_wcB

It "should" work indeed... However, it is not supported (mostly because it will not work out of the box, reformatting to FAT is a bit of a challange on windows). I am not sure what exactly the maximum size is until it will just screw up - so beware, use backups
