First test of Yamaha V9938

Yesterday the "hard to find" 21.477 MHz crystals arrived from Aliexpress :-)
Today I soldered the SDIP64 adapter PCB and tested the V9938 with the R65C02 @ 3.58 MHz (Yamaha cpuclock =1/6).
I connected the 32k SRAM with the latch - like at the 9129 - and it works!


I connected the composite out with an simple emitter follower to my Commodore 1084S.
You see - there's something wrong - it looks a little bit shaked ;-) - but I have a picture!
Tomorrow I will check the SRAM connections and test the circuit with a 16-bit DRAM.

  2. I have only some old Videos with games on my lc64 (without sprites): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw0hXrftROI

    Now the LC64 design is finished and fully working - I only have to build it on PCB.

    After finishing the LC64 I will build my own homebrew 65c02 with the v9938 or v9958. I will write an own OS for that machine...
