I was very curious what ZeroPaige has written in the description of the Super Mario Bros 64 game, the game on the C64 DTV use the Turbo mode.

I have tried the game on my upgraded C64 DTV and in fact is much more fluid, i would say perfect except for a few graphics glitches.

Below what ZeroPaige writes about the Turbo mode:

Since the NES-processor is clocked (roughly 70%) faster than a stock C64 there can be slowdowns during gameplay. A pixel indicates this on the time-watch graphics in the status bar.

This port will try to detect and use any kind of turbo functionality, such as:

• Commodore 128 (2 MHz in the border)
• C64 DTV
• Schnedler Systems Turbo Master CPU (untested)
• Swisscomp Turbo Processor (untested)
• Rossmoeller Flash 8 (untested)
• CMD SuperCPU Accelerator (untested)

These CPU MOS 6502 received from China are very interesting.

The production date is really very curious; 43th week of the year 1935. They certainly recycled non-MOS CPUs and sanding the top layer of the chip and have printed a new label.

7 CPU of 10 are working.

The images could irritate your sensitivity. :-P
