    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

      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€).

I work also on a Philips CDI 450 replacement power supply, I know nobody ask for it but I...

  • Update : Commodore 64 Power Adapter

    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.
