That is much appreciated, thank you :)
I see you really know your stuff when it comes to making elements of an older game come alive on a new(er) system! It's very impressive to see what you're doing with the Commodore 64 ports.
While I personally haven't experienced C64 outside of emulation, I do have an original C64 monitor that I've used extensively for any and all retro hardware (mainly NES, SNES, and N64).
Thank you again for your interest!
