    Creator of C64OS Talks VIC-II Video Timing
    It's a pretty good run-down of the various weird timing issues of the Commodore 64. Machines at that time had to do all kinds of weird things to keep up the overriding priority of microcomputers of the time: building a consistent video signal that could be displayed on a television.

Not only the Gameboy Advance, but a Gamecube, a GBA controller cable, the Gamecube controller adaptor (the one made to support Smash Bros. games) and a Gameboy Player with boot disk.

            I am back from DragonCon, but got hit by a staggering blow from life (which I will not mention the details of here) that's going to take me a long time to recover from. So in the meantime, please enjoy this 19 minute video in which someone on Youtube d
