Hi guys,
Sorry to sorta jump in here I know it's bad manners but I really don't know where to start.
I have an ntsc mini, bought by my girlfriend from a dodgy seller. I need a pal version and wondered if this method of x-windows would be a good way to change the mini from ntsc to pal?
Do you get access to the c64 bios chip images etc?
If not could anyone point me in a general direction of investigation?
Thankyou.

This is incredibly fascinating to me. I have the Maxi and I think this would be fun to play around with. I do have one question, since I do use my Maxi quite a bit, will I lose any functionality by installing this Firmware? I do use the mouse feature on it and am curious if I will lose that from the 1.6.1 firmware.
Thanks!

I know this works on THEA500 Mini and works better so was wondering if we could use a better Linux OS so something newer maybe like ubuntu or something, you can drag the windows and they drag properly on THEA500 Mini and you don't get screen tearing....  ...? |

Of course when you run it you can change things on the internal NAND storage. |

This is fantastic! I am going to be playing around with this. I want to see what the capabilities are of this machine when accessing the Linux bits.
