"Another problema is the SD card. Half of the time it just doesn't detect the file system. Sometimes it does."
IS not a bug, is a freature to give more realism as loading from a cassette.

Baking is only needed if you solder this in an oven. Baking makes moisture that is dissolved in the caseing come out slowly, so it prevents it from become steam during soldering and popping the case open due to high vapor pressure.

1:15 The assembly music on this is brilliant. Anders Jensen always makes great music but this particular song is just amazing.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who "watches" (listens) to YouTube while doing tedious tasks.

I’m kinda amazed that in 2021, with all the retro market, there’s STILL no replacement for the VIC chip

The music is a perfect match. Feels like a montage from Real Genius.

There are some keyset profiles where the rows are all the same. That should give you more options, and if you go with SA profile, it'll have a very retro look too.

I just want to point out that I notice the upgraded production quality on all fronts. I'm glad to see you made it through that mess over the winter and came out shining at the other end. Keep up the great work!

A new video from 8 bit guy is always a good video.

1:14 - I also dislike the sockets without the round notch, but learned that I could just push a dremel into the plastic and create a notch - preferably before soldering it to the board though :)

I don't understand a single thing that he explains about circuits but still I love watching 😂👍

[MelsvanWees]

PEtsci robots looks amazing on the x16 definitely want to buy one now 😂

[Jody_VESAR]

I love the new studio layout - that works very well - and the wall coverings look so much better this way. Great job - can't wait to see more videos! And the X16 proto-3 board looks very pro-grade - another project I'm eagerly waiting for!

Great to hear you’re working on the Atari 8bit version of your game. Shipping to Germany will probably make it unaffordable though. We‘ll see :)

Just wanted to pop in and say that while I've only recently found your channel, I am super happy that you have full captions on this video that is barely 4 hours old. So many videos still rely on auto captions and it is amazingly refreshing to find a channel that defies that. Thank you so much!

David, thank you so much for creating an Atari 8-bit port of your game! I'm excited to see it and possibly purchase it! Any extra Atari 8-bit content is greatly appreciated!

[hernancoronel]

It is amazing to see a Vic-20 with S-video! Thank you for the great video David!

Oh wow, our first computer at home when I was a little kid was the VIC-20. It had the cassette tape drive and we played that Chopper game a lot! Thanks for the nostalgia!
