How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
Cycle-exact Commodore 64 emulator written in C#, much ported from C++ Frodo emulator. Done just to prove Silverlight can do almost anything. Most C64 hardware is emulated and it’s running off real C64 ROM images. Display is a MediaStreamSource 50fps video
I’m generating from raw emulated VIC-II graphics chip output.

Tools used:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, Silverlight 3

Man, does that bring back memories!
Glad you all liked it. I'll release the source to codeplex shortly. Plus, there should be a show on hanselminutes in the next week, and a brief look at this and my sl3 synthesizer on the continuum show soon.
I had a ton of fun doing this

Yep, you nailed that one. You can find the original as "Unreal Who" on http://whomix.trilete.net/ The platformer game in the video was Dr Who, "Second Reality" was the first time I saw my PC do something more impressive than my commdore, and that remix is one of my favorite, so thought it would be a good match
