    C-128 Garbage screen in 40 column mode

    Do the swap between ram banks like the video above shows, completely swaps banks 0 and 1, and then you may be able to see what's going on. It's just lifting one side of 2 resistors and running 2 small wires.

    Why does building something from Github have to be in a "secret" language and needlessly archaic with no real instructions?

    I make and sell wifi modems, and everything is on my github, and the documentation has taken me as long as actually designing some of the boards. And it's not that long of documentation, it's just not my strong point to write it. If I wasn't selling the boards, I don't think I would have...
