    Loading games from a SD card using a SD2IEC or a Tapuino would be far more convenient now rather than using a CD-Rom.

    Yeah but its not the same experience as having to hookup your hifi to your C64 :)

    Same as me running games on my real Amiga compared to the emulator on the Pi.

    You need to think about how you would have done it in the days before Freeview or Sky. Your analogue TV of three, later four and five TV stations aired on certain frequencies or channels (ie from Sutton Coldfield it used to be UHF channels 40, 43, 46 and 50 for BBC Two, ITV, BBC One and Channel 4 respectively) so your Channel 3 button would have been tuned to in this case channel 43.

    Your Commodore is effectively "airing" on one of the channels when you connect it to the aerial on the TV. You should be able to do a rescan of the Analogue channel listings in a similar fashion to a Freeview setup.



    Or failing all of this, you can download the Commodore emulators on the computer instead with none of the 'tape load' errors present :)
