Not suitable for the 64. Too much hassle. 9:29:11 PM: groepaz: wildstar can do it 9:29:26 PM: Clocky: 23-27% done already 9:29:45 PM: dunric: POKE 53265, PEEK (53265) AND 239 to turn off the screen 9:30:05 PM: dunric: POKE 53265, PEEK(53265) OR 16 to turn it back on 9:30:10 PM: dunric: for a six percent speed increase 9:30:29 PM: dunric: courtesy of Commodore World #6 9:31:05 PM: Clocky: but then you can't see anything, so it's not that useful for a mere six percent increase. The CoCo poke 65495,0 was better in that regard 9:31:23 PM: antares51: I heard the 6510 can be OC'd up to 30%. Just scuttlebutt. 9:31:30 PM: dunric: hmm...well, for crunching large arrays and variables, it is sometimes good to blank the screen to make calculations go fasterr 9:32:09 PM: dunric: I go into FAST mode on my C128 when I need the speed increase without the luxury of the screen 9:32:18 PM: Clocky: 6510 will likely do 2mhz 9:32:27 PM: dunric: of course, FAST mode in 80 columns doesn't blank the screen 9:32:28 PM: antares51: Interesting. 9:32:30 PM: Clocky: true dunric 9:32:45 PM: dunric: only in 40 columns due it blank the screen 9:32:49 PM: dunric: does* 9:33:10 PM: Clocky: not an option for a C64, 80 column 9:33:21 PM: dunric: they had Custom-80 for Speedscript 9:33:47 PM: dunric: half height/length characters to produce quasi-80 column effects 9:34:01 PM: Info-Seeke: there is an 80 colum cart for the 64 9:34:06 PM: Info-Seeke: I never scored 1 though, but tried 9:34:11 PM: dunric: yeah, by Cardco, right? 9:34:27 PM: Info-Seeke: unsure 9:34:28 PM: Clocky: I remember playing with a 80 column emulator on C64 once, but I can't find that program anywhere 9:34:33 PM: dunric: or was it batteries not included? 9:34:47 PM: dunric: clocky: did you check the Genie files? 9:35:03 PM: Info-Seeke: I remember trying that **** way back also 9:35:13 PM: antares51: There was an 80 column converter from Compute!
