Got a MOS 6567T2 here. There's hardly any information about this VIC-II revision. All I can say is that it is the predecessor of MOS 6567R56A (chip date codes are proof for this). So 6567T2 is the first NTSC VIC-II shipped with C64 and of course has 64 cycles just like 6567R56A.
Version 2 of VIC-Check detects it as "NEW VIC". |

hi,
I have made a new version (VIC-Check2) that should work on PAL AND NTSC.
But I only have an old ntsc VIC (6567 R8) and no new NTSC for testing.
So, if there is anybody having an ntsc 85????-whatsoever, please test this for me! thanks. |

So... is this related to why there is sometimes crap in the sprite collision register? And yes, an in-depth explanation would be really interesting.

Did some tests in our bunker yesterday. The results were as wanted:
VIC_type no.---luma steps---VICCHECK.prg
----------------------------------------
6569R3-4685-------------9--------old vic
8565R2-4191-------------9--------new vic
8565R2-3991(22)---------9--------new vic
8565R2-0787(22)---------9--------new vic
6569R5-0287(15)---------broken----------
6569R3-2983-------------9--------old vic
6569R1-2283-------------5--------old vic
Seems like they changed the luma behaviour during the year '83; it was the first time to really "see" in old "5 luma steps"-VIC in action! If someone (Roland;)?) wants to do some tests: meet the R1-VIC every tuesday in the bunker;) |

"because you can"
That's just another way of saying...
"I don't know what's the use of this too" :-)

Bwhuh... Not to be an ass or something.
But what's the use of this? Why would I want to know which VIC type the C64 has?

Ahh.... forgot to mention...
this routine is for PAL ONLY!!!
Needs to be fixed for ntsc (cause there is a little "stable-raster" routine in there that won't work on ntsc)
...I think I'll do a new version tonight... |

| Does it also take the VIC IIe into account? My C128D-CR (metal case) has a 8566R3 inside... |

Here are my results:
6572R0 (PAL-N): new vic
6567R8 : flickers between old/new vic

"How did you figure this one out?"
Well, the VICs are very good friends of mine telling me all of their secrets :)
"The results were:
6596R3 - OLD VIC
6596R5 - OLD VIC
8565R2 - NEW VIC
"
Hmmm... like it should be.... |

"I don't know which revision has only 5 luma levels? - Is there some easy way to figure that out?"
only R1 VICs ... and well, you can just print all the colors on screen and then put the chrom knob to zero and see how many different lumas you can distinguish :) |

Very interresting... How did you figure this one out? - And are you able to explain what actually happens?
Triggering a Sprite to Foreground Collision by enabling ECM just before sideborder stops and disabling just afterwards. - or maybe just disabling before border starts again? Something like that?
Anyways, I just did a quick test on an old '84 C64 with a couple of different VICs in it. The results were:
6596R3 - OLD VIC
6596R5 - OLD VIC
8565R2 - NEW VIC
I don't know which revision has only 5 luma levels? - Is there some easy way to figure that out?

| @Roland: What are the differences in the different VIC-chips that you manage to measure programatically? Also, I got the VERY old VIC-chip (not for sending though :D) If you like to try out some experimental code. |
User Comment

Well...for the definition. As far as I know, there are (at least) 3 different vic types:
new (with the grey dots if you change the color - 9 lumas)
old (without the grey dots - 9 lumas)
VERY old (without the grey dots - 5 lumas).
This VIC-Check routine checks only for the new/old version, not the very old with less luma steps!
And I don't have seen this very old VIC type, yet... but if somebody has one, and want to send it to me, I try to do a check for this VIC type, too :) |

Care to explain how it works? Or do you actually force me to check the code myself? :D
And btw, seems like you found yet another VICE bug, since VICE shows "old vic" despite using new lumas. :D |

I hope this works with all C64/VIC types. (don't have enough c64s to test that).
But it worked on my c128d (new vic) and on one c64 with new and old VIC.
(No nice code, cause done it in just 5 mins after reading the comments about the Universal TV Standard Detector)
So, it's up to you guys out there....does it work? |
