Update on the C64 power supply
Read more →26/01/17 - New update on the project here I was working on the version 3 of the power adapter for Commodore 64 in the last 2 month, a new model that should correct all of the problem the last versions have. I had started by replacing the modified sine wave by a pure sine wave, everything was going great but when I started testing the prototype, I realized that a pure sine wave generator was not enought to remove the buzzing noise coming from the common mode filter, to remove completely the noise I needed to have a isolation...

Commodore 64 Power Adapter is available and other info
Read more →22/10/16 - New update on the project here After several month, the v2 of the Commodore 64 power adapter is back in stock. I have change a lot of thing on it that have increase the price a little (29€ to 33€). For people who think that it's too expensive for a power supply, I can't blame you that why I will propose a cheaper alternative around 15€ by using 2 power supply (5V and a NES power supply). I work also on a Philips CDI 450 replacement power supply, I know nobody ask for it but I...

Finally, for the C64 replacement power adapter, the v3 prototype PCB is on the way from China. V3 simply because the different motherboard...

Update : Commodore 64 Power Adapter
Read more →So I receive all the part for the Commodore 64 replacement power supply, I assemble one board, everything work fine, the different C64 model with different motherboard power on fine but there is one annoying problem... The MOSFET transistor that I use to make the 0/12V signal make too much noise because I use them in 50Hz switching. Maybe I use too big transistor with not the adaquate spec for this kind of work, I have started to search a solution for this problem but the thing is that I have to redo the PCB. This will take me some...
