This page states that there were only NTSC C64's made with the Kernal that clears color ram to white no matter what cursor color you had: https://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue50/286_1_Commodore_64_ROM_Generations.php But that can't be true. I'm 100% sure that I were disappointed when the Swedish C64's were changed to Swedish characters and Swedish keyboard layout, and the color memory started to be cleared with the cursor color. I'm 100% sure that the C64's I've used back in the days were PAL machines, as TV's that can handle both NTSC and PAL were super rare in the 80's, especially in the early 80's. Do I remember this incorrectly? -- (\_/) Copy the bunny to your mails to help (O.o) him achieve world domination. (> <) Come join the dark side. /_|_\ We have cookies.Received on 2018-11-10 04:00:02
