C64 Ultimate Can Play Videos // Night Drive

Описание: The Commodore 64 Ultimate shows off its video playback ability with Koalavideo and a video stored as a Ram Expansion Unit (.REU) file. The original video was converted to 320x200 resolution and 12.5 fps. It was then exported into 1,515 individual frames, each of which were flattened and dithered to work within the C64's 16 color palette. The frames were packed into an .REU file and matched with a music file that was downsampled to mono 11.7 KHz 8-bit PCM format.

NOTE: Because Koalavideo does not support audio playback through the Commodore 64 Ultimate's Ultimate Audio, the sound is being generated by standard SID playback which results in a lot of artifacts and distortion.

1:59 - How the file would have played on a C64 with an FGPASID

Source video was a compilation of driving scenes from a Miami Vice episode re-imagined for the C64.

The C64 Ultimate is outputting to a vintage Commodore 1902A monitor, with subtle moiré patterns and wandering raster lines adding to the ambiance to the performance.

You can DOWNLOAD three versions of this video in an .REU file (6581 SID, 8580 SID, or FGPASID) ready to play on any C64 with a 16 MB RAM Expansion Unit as well as the full resolution .WAV version of the music on my Patreon page (FREE for the first week) at:
