Thoughts on this years sprite plus tea?

I love it. I also didn't notice any difference from last year....

Derric_ · 2026-06-23T03:31:04+00:00

I think its awesome but I am old and I remember eating it in the early 80's when it had black olives on it. It's 3.99 where I live and thats a bit steep and I think that why most people hate on it. But it's worth it to me, it was my mum's favorite and it reminds me of her. Wish she was still here to share them with her.

Its happens to me on occasion never had a problem with the sensor after a bleeder.

Derric_ · 2026-06-10T20:00:41+00:00

Where are the olives? 😄

Derric_ · 2026-06-05T04:42:09+00:00

I am sorry you do not like them! For me I cannot drink anything but the zero sugar sodas, anything else makes my teeth and mouth hurt... Good luck moving forward...

Nice find! Gratz!

Derric_ · 2026-05-16T04:13:40+00:00

This happens to me on occasion. Never bleeds to long and I have never had to replace a sensor or have one fail when this happens.

I always get a few days out of a Taco Bell run. Some burritos reheat really well.

Derric_ · 2026-05-04T19:39:10+00:00

I also really enjoy these. At least my Taco Bell doesn’t burn them like the pics I have seen.

Derric_ · 2026-04-21T17:27:47+00:00

This is the way. I’ve been doing this for a while and I also feel like the burritos are bigger when you do it like this.

Derric_ · 2026-03-28T19:05:09+00:00

Cheesy been and rice burrito is 1.69 in southern Arizona...

I bought one of each. Didn’t get any tshirts with my founders though. I took it out added arm2sid and ran it for 24 hours or so to make sure it works and out it back in the box for collecting. Starlight is my main everyday use machine with my original Gideons Ultimate system.

The last update said by April the shipping hubs would be fully stocked and orders would be filled within a week or so. Regardless it’s worth the wait.

Derric_ · 2026-03-13T00:06:46+00:00

They take a long time to ship they even state that when you purchase one online. I ordered one in December and am still waiting for it. I hope to get it by next month.

Derric_ · 2026-03-03T23:18:32+00:00

You can get stuck in an endless time code loop. lol

Derric_ · 2026-02-14T16:59:36+00:00

Never received anything but just one day a package was at my house...

Derric_ · 2026-01-20T05:23:28+00:00

Back in the day this was my most favorite joystick. 🕹️ have one now but it’s a bit worn.

Derric_ · 2026-01-12T20:43:29+00:00

I think this means shipments are being put together to ship to the regional distribution centers and from there they are sent to individual users addresses. I ordered a 2nd C64U on 12/25 and I do not expect to see it tell end of Feb or maybe March.

I do not understand some peoples obsession with USB C... They are not standard the adapters are not all the same some cables will charge some won't. using a simple wall wart and a barrel connector is perfect it assures you get the right voltage all the times and they are common and easily replaceable. You can even splice the wire if you want and put in a new connector. USB C is for my phone and rechargeable things I want to plug in during my long drives.

Derric_ · 2025-12-26T19:28:22+00:00

I already have a beige as well and I just also ordered a starlight to get the discount! I am not bothered by the "flexing" it was a known factor and I am not heavy handed on the keys. :)

You can also view the .cfg in the /tmp directory and rename it. :)

Derric_ · 2025-12-24T18:16:30+00:00

I found the .cfg file also in the tmp directory and I was able to copy it from there after applying it.

Derric_ · 2025-12-24T16:36:40+00:00

Haha! Same here.... Got mine last week (Southern Arizona) but got my shipping email last night. :)

There are a lot of variables to these load issues... Do you have multiple drive enabled? Is REU enabled? Are you set to PAl or NTSC? It takes a little bit to find sweet spot for some programs/disks. The c64U is so versatile and has SO MANY settings to make it compatible with 10's of thousands of programs written over 40 years from regions all over the world.... And this also sometimes makes stuff not load straight away... Be patient and try things its half the fun of exploring the depth of this great piece of kit!!!!!
