  • C64 Reloaded MK2 - new user

    Good Morning All !


    I'm a new, french owner of the C64 reloaded MK2; I bought a Chameleon 64 too, and I hope both can work together.


    Right now, the MK2 is still in his box, but I have a few questions.


    My project is to connect the MK2 to a "modern" monitor (no CRT) on S-VIDEO. I want to have the best possible picture (my original C64 is good, but I have some "column effect" - You know what I mean ? ;)


    - Is there a "best VIC-II" video (PAL) Chip ? 6569R? or 8565 ?

    - Can I mix any video Chip with any CPU, or should I always use a CPU6510 when I use a 6569 video Chip ?

    - I plan to use both 6581 and 8580 sound chip : Is there a way to configure the MK2 to get some stereo effect ? (and is this a good idea ?)

    - Is there any "serial number" on the board ? I wish to buy a "C64 reloaded serial sticker" for fun :). I also wish to put a C64 "Reloaded MK2 label" on the C64, but I only found the C64C version, not the C64 Breadbox ...


    So if you have any answer to these existential questions :) or any (good) tips for beginners, I will be very happy to read you.


    Best regards


    Marc
