I'd check its voltages, frequencies and eventually swap it. no VSP errors showed from a tool that's supposed to check for their existence on a C64, so yes, the VSP was mentioned and likely excluded. The crashes are very repeatable infacts, all happens every time at the same point of some programs. Most (all I could try) programs show no random or repeatable errors. I don't have any other MOS 8565 VIC-II chip to try swapping it. I only have old 6569s Thanks Frank Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2017-04-18 12:02:04
