My Ultimate64 Experience VI – Checking Out 6 Top Demos

#Ultimate64 #Commodore64 #FPGA

The Ultimate 64, an FPGA Commodore 64 re-implementation created by Gideon Zweijtzer. Which results in a brand new C64 that doesn’t need to use any of the old parts… well a keyboard still is needed but I’ve heard about new replacement mechanical keyboards being built for the C64. And if you use SID chips you can severely augment the audio experience. I put in two from two deceased C64s that had severe damage to the motherboard that rendered them un-salvageable.

In this video I check out the ‘TOP 6 demos’ on the Ultimate64 to see how they run and if there are any artifacts. The last demo has more artifacts than the others in such a way that it actually is noticeable even if you’re not intimately familiar with the demo.

Lunatico : this demo shows some obvious glitches on the Ultimate

I have to dial back the sound in next captures, it’s over-steered a little.

Thanks to all the demo creators for their wonderful work, it keeps the C64 alive and kicking!
