Hardware Checkmate Display is back

It's not cheap! let's get that out of the way first! but aside from using a real crt, I think the Checkmate Monitor is the best modern monitor for use with the C64, C64 Ultimate, MiSTer, and any other retro computer or console you can name. And it's back. A batch two Kickstarter will launch soon at

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/checkmateproducts/retro-styled-ips-display-internally-upgradeable-batch-2

They sold out last time, I'm one of the happy owners. I have a MiSTer Pi mounted inside it (it has purpose built mountings for this) and I also use it alongside my CRTs, for my C64U, Mega65, Amiga 1200 Pistorm32 Lite, and will also be hooking up my Spectrum Next KS3 when it lands.

The Pro model has Scart, RF, VGA, component & composite RCA/Phono, 5x HDMI, RGBi, CGA, EGA, S- Video inputs and also HDMI output for streaming/ capture. I understand there will be a basic model without so many HDMI inputs.

I'm really happy with mine, I've had it for a couple of years, I use it all the time, it looks great on my desk next to my CRTs and I don't regret the cost at all. Feel free to ask me any questions about it!

Music ChipTunez, a new Android SID player app on Google Play

There's a new Android chip tune player on the Play Store. Full disclosure: I was a beta tester and received the app for free to test (it costs $5). I'm not being compensated to post about it. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. The search works pretty well. Songs on HVSC, ASMA, and Modland are all indexed. VGMRips has some search capabilities. JoshW's archives are browse-only. I was able to queue up a bunch of my personal favorites... Delta, Last Ninja Wasteland, and Star Soldier. One thing I thought was pretty cool is that you can switch the playback speed right in the play screen (between PAL and NTSC). Star Soldier sounded slow to me on most players because it defaults to PAL timing, but when I switched it over to NTSC on the app, it sounded perfect. Anyway, I liked it, just thought I'd share.
