  1. Bought a Wii U system. It was shipped promptly and arrived quicker than expected. The shipping box arrived damaged due to rough handling by the carrier, but the contents were packed securely and survived entirely. Would do business with again.

    we're working on that. we've decided that the final version of the hardware will probably have 16 megabytes of flash.

     

    Right now, we're trying to do tests with our 4 megabyte hardware to see if we can partition memory to make everything fit well enough to handle our code, OTA, and image storage (we need to store two disk images, + whatever gets fetched for an active drive slot with FETCH bit enabled)

    Inexperienced and possibly simple thought here, but is it possible to store any of that cache on the SD card? Assuming the SD slot stays in the final design. I'm sure accessing data on the card is a lot slower than from an external flash chip, though. 

  3. Well, I wound up having trouble getting a good hole started over the existing channel switch cutout, so I just used some small files and enlarged the cutout until I could comfortably fit the monitor cable. Success! It's unreal how much better S-Video looks than RF, haha.

     

    What should I upgrade next, folks? I'm open to ideas. 

  4. Well, my desk is a mess, and it took longer than I wanted it to, but here it is: my 600XL with 64K of RAM and a UAV board installed, connected over split chroma/luma to my Commodore 1702 monitor.

     

    I still need to drill the hole for the monitor jack in the back of the case. What do people use for that, a step drill? Does anyone know what size I'll need to drill the hole out to? I don't have any calipers around here to measure it, haha.

    The 600XL has great s-video once the blurring cap is removed. If you can be bothered to find/do the 600XL Supervideo mod, it's even better.

    Blurring cap? Please elaborate. 

     

    Only got the RAM today, UAV is somewhere between the west coast and the midwest. Oh well.
