Hello my patrons! For the next video, I'll be showing off Randy Rossi's recently released VIC-II Kawari.

What I really wanted to talk about was the ability of the Kawari to switch between NTSC and PAL but also of an amazing feature that Randy added on my request. These combine to make it essential for any C64 enthusiast, especially those of us in North America with NTSC computers.

I'll be updating the video description in the next week (before the episode goes live) with any additional links that are relevant... but Randy should have some in stock if you want to buy from him. (Or he did the other day!)
