Commodore 64 Breadbin Case – Your Color Your Style.

The Breadbin is back and better than ever!

I replaced the Commodore 64C style case color SX64 purchased back in 2017 from return-magazin.de of my Commodore 64 with U64 first version with the new transparent case in Breadbin style indiegogo campaign.

As you can see from the photos there is also a new transparent dust cover, the new keyboard from indiegogo campaign of a few years ago, the internal LED strip has been configured to use only the white color with medium brightness.

I wanted to upgrade another Philips Videopac G7000 console and adding everything i wanted to do many years ago when i only added the RGB output instead of the RF one.

While i was doing the work of modifying the console i realized that something was wrong with the games and the RGB output, some games were missing the background color or the color was faded, other times the colors are wrong, but this defect was not present with all games and therefore it was not a wiring problem (colors are not swapped likes a problem with the R-G-B wiring).

I had never realized it and probably other people have never realized it either, because it does not happen with all the games but thanks to the Flash Multicart by Andrea Ottaviani i was able to try all the software released for the G7000 and confirm that something was not working correctly.

The problem is due to the type of RGB mod, i had taken the one from the gamesx.com site as good, that is the one that has been available from about fifteen years and that almost everyone has installed but there is another mod that is completely different and above all uses a particular pin of the Intel 8048 CPU (pin 39 [T1]).

Hesitantly i wanted to try this modification and it is actually all true, it works, now the RGB mod is perfect as for the Videopac G7200 (native with RGB output) and G7400 (Native RGB by adding the components that are missing on the PCB)

Later i discovered that this RGB mod was not born like this by chance, the scheme was designed taking inspiration from the original schematic of the G7200/G7400 where this particular CPU pin is used.

Below is the list of all the modifications and enhancements that have been made:

• RGB Mod 100% Working with a extra pin from CPU (No more missing background or colors via RGB on G7000)
• External RGB DIN Hirschmann Connector.
• Power external Switch with Power-On Light.
• Power external Connector.
• Two Joystick D-SUB external Connector.
• Replaced the original PSU with a Mean Well EPS-15-5.
• RF modulator removed.
• Simple Composite Video signal amplification circuit.
• Separate composite Video and Audio output via external RCA connectors.

This is a Flash cart (PicoPac-Multicart) for Philips Videopac G-7000, G-7200, G7400, C52, JOPAC and Odyssey 2 by Andrea Ottaviani.

This Flash cart for Videopac / Odyssey 2 is based on Videopac-microSD Multicart project by Wilco2009 (https://github.com/wilco2009/Videopac-micro-SD-Cart)

PicoPAC is a multicart DIY yourself based on cheap “PURPLE” Raspberry Pi Pico clone, easy to build and not expensive and using its 16mb flash for storing games instead of the SDCard.

How much i paid for the PicoPac-Multicart?

• 1 x RP2040 Pi Pico Purple : €2.69
• 1 x JLCPCB PCB : €1.00
• 1 x DIODE 1N4148 / Push Button : €1.00 +/-

More or less for each single Philips Videopac PicoPac-Multicart complete with all the components you will spend €4.69.

The price of each component also includes the cost of shipping and customs clearance.

Below you will find the photos of how i repositioned the BUTTON, i preferred to install in this position rather than on the upper side of the cartridge (default position of the PCB).

You can also download the front cartridge label, UF2 firmware v1.0a and a ZIP archive with 200 games.

For more information about this and other projects by Andrea Ottaviani please visit his github page.
