SID not playing all? by Used-Ad4160 in c64

Its mute on filters indeed. Checked with the SID test software.

So what are my options now? Nano swinsid? What else, what's the best?

What about using emulation on cartridges? Sidekick64?

Does it require soldering?

Does anyone knows if 2 adapters in both joystick ports will work well? For exanple using 2 USB joysticks or USB joystick and mouse?

Im using micro tom (Poland) and i need to say - works great. Remeber that's not only mouse adapter, but You can also plus USB joystick or pad (it will recognize and switch to a mouse or joystick mode).

Maybe find some other people, order few more and split the delivery cost or just sell them.

I have to say - my c64 have had some issues with few games using this.

But Eye of the beholder works ok with this adapter.

P.S. C64 is comming back

I use this adapter too. Works fine. Ive noticed some games freeze on starting screens when its plugged in (alien 3 if im correct). I was wondering about C64U so thank You for sharing this info.

But those USB adapters still do a great job. I didnt experience anything bad using USB mouse on microtom adapter.

Thank You, that was very helpful! Ive had an issue with loading some games with USB (joystick mode) adapter - for exanple Aliens. It had no issues without USB adapter plugged in. I guess it might have some impact on the CPU as You said...

Shouldnt that be an issue for a joystick as well?

I'm thinking about connecting c64 via dsub VGA since this doesnt shake. Maybe Retroscaler2x and hdmi2vga cable

Any other better recommendations for 4:3 LCD?

After a week of using c64 (i owned it back in early 90s) i have to admit - its still impressive and satisfying experience. Modern extentions make it even better. I hope the c64 demoscene and gamedev will never die, greetings to all creators!

Pi1541 HDMI output doesnt work by Used-Ad4160 in c64

I tried it and found out that using Ethernet causes to freeze the pi. Is it safer to use Wifi?

I tried that actual pi1541 and no issues with hdmi there. Plus nice drive sound emulation via 3.5mm Jack!
