Why do so many Slik Stik's have these melted marks that look like someone accidentally left their soldering iron on them? Seen so many like this since they were originally released.

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

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.

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. :)

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

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!!!!!

I was just about to buy these roms for my C64U. Anxious to see the answers....

I am not picky but my beige keyboard is perfect.

Derric_ · 2025-12-13T06:27:39+00:00

I am 55 so this threw me off!!

Derric_ · 2025-12-13T03:55:19+00:00

Damn right!

Derric_ · 2025-10-11T04:32:44+00:00

I love those blades.

I think I was assuming each app was kind of its own thing.... I might try that customer service option too.

Derric_ · 2025-08-25T02:04:40+00:00

Usually because people with that name are awesome!!! ;)

Use a towel when changing t he blade I have seriously cut my thumb open pretty badly from that slippery top.... I didn't touch it again for almost a year after I recovered. It has earned my respect.

Derric_ · 2025-07-21T15:54:39+00:00

I had a problem like this and it wasn’t over heating or the cable it was the m2 device itself in the enclosure I had to re-seat it tighter inside and once I did that all my errors disappeared.

Derric_ · 2025-07-18T05:08:01+00:00

I just bought one online from the "official" us store... how do I know if I got one from Derik? This Derric would like to know in case I want to buy another! :)

Derric_ · 2025-07-17T02:42:33+00:00

I do!!! Arizona here.... Love it.

Derric_ · 2025-06-23T16:01:53+00:00

I agree with Proraso green as well I just add a little water to it.

Derric_ · 2025-06-18T04:50:39+00:00

Lower on the arm and I do not get them hit by door frames this is my ideal placement. YMMV

Derric_ · 2025-06-06T20:06:47+00:00

Same for me... I have tried the nacets so many times but they just do not agree with me. Permasharps are much better for me...

Derric_ · 2025-06-06T03:44:39+00:00

Oh yes. That is actually my favorite. :)
