VICIIdizer128 (for the C128) - c0pperdragon/LumaCode GitHub Wiki

A modification board for the Commodore 128 computer. It allows to extract the video signal in a semi-digital form to be further processed and upscaled to get pixel-perfect HDMI.

It is electrically identical to the board for the C64, but has a different form to fit the VIC-IIe which has 48 pins instead of the 40 pins of the VIC-II.
