Show HN: Integrated System for Enhancing VIC Output

7 bloodmosher 2 7/7/2025, 2:44:28 PM github.com ↗

ISEVIC stands for Integrated System for Enhancing VIC output and is a cartridge for the C64 that uses the Tang Nano 20K FPGA to monitor the bus and recreate the C64 video for HDMI output. While a tremendous effort has gone into handling all the clever C64 tricks, this should be considered a 1.0 release as there are still some demos and games that exhibit bugs. Everything needed to build one is on the github page.

I was expecting this to be for the VIC-20. The C64 has the VIC-II, not the VIC.

Similar projects:

- VICIIdigitizer (requires Lumacode compatible decoder like OSSC or c0pperdragon's RGBtoHDMI)

- VIC-II Kawari (chip replacement, outputs digital natively)
