| AvailableChecked Jul 28, 2026 | Medusa Rev. Bby AcidMaker / Lotharek | Converts composite, S-Video, RGB, RGBI, and VGA-family retro signals to simultaneous digital and analog DVI-I output. The European SCART and Japanese JP21 Revision B pages exposed login-or-register-to-buy paths on 2026-07-27. Never connect an EU SCART cable to the JP21 version: the seller says the different pinout can damage the device. The newest dated hardware announcement says units made since June 2025 have a larger OLED and USB-C power, but an older section still says Micro-USB. Human review found no package clarification, so confirm the connector, power requirement, and included USB items with the seller. A DVI-to-HDMI cable and source-system cables are sold separately. Medusa line-doubles when needed but does not change vertical refresh rate, so the destination display must accept the resulting 50 or 60 Hz signal and may blank briefly when the source changes resolution. Install only firmware matching the hardware revision. |

| DiscontinuedChecked Jul 30, 2026 | Portta Mini CVBS/S-Video to VGA Scalerby Portta | Converts composite or S-Video from a C64 or C128 to selectable-resolution analog VGA output. The exact Portta scaler was documented in a 2016 hands-on review, but no current maker product page or stable new-stock source was verified in 2026. The unit includes a short USB-A power cable but no power supply or computer-specific video cable. Results varied by computer: the reviewed flat C128 looked excellent over S-Video, a C64C showed vertical banding and a rainbow border, and a C128DCR produced poor S-Video but good composite output. |

| Check statusChecked Jul 30, 2026 | Ray Carlsen Custom Commodore Power Suppliesby Ray Carlsen | Custom replacement supplies ranging from simple C64 units to multi-connector systems for several Commodore computers and drives. The readable C64 OS feature was last modified in September 2022 and gave a USD 35-100 range for standard examples, with more elaborate custom builds possible. It directed orders and inquiries to Ray Carlsen by email. Both linked maker pages failed Tavily extraction and failed again after the required 60-second retry under WF-066 and WF-067, so current ordering, prices, model names, electrical ratings, protection, and mains options must be confirmed directly. Do not transfer the specifications or simultaneous-device behavior of one custom build to another. |

| AvailableChecked Jul 30, 2026 | ReActiveMicro Mini AV2HDMI Video Adapterby ReActiveMicro | Converts NTSC composite video and analog audio from an Apple II or Apple III to an HDMI display. The adapter was in stock and backorderable for $45 on 2026-07-30. It was not tested or intended for PAL systems. Simultaneously connecting a CRT and this adapter requires a composite impedance-matched switch box or video may degrade or disappear. The package includes generic composite, HDMI, audio-adapter, and power cables, but not a computer-specific Commodore A/V cable. |

| AvailableChecked Jul 30, 2026 | RetroTINK-2X and 2X Proby RetroTINK / Mike Chi | Line-doubles standard-definition composite, S-Video, or component video for modern digital displays with no added latency. The original RetroTINK-2X is a retired predecessor; the current 2X Pro was orderable for $139.99 on 2026-07-30. It accepts only 240p, 288p, 480i, and 576i and does not accept 480p or higher input. Supply the correct source-system cable, a digital video cable, and a 5 V / 1 A USB power source; a Micro-USB cable is included. RetroTINK warns that composite sources can produce low output and recommends S-Video or component when available. |

| AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026 | TIKUS USB Adapter 2.0by Lotharek | Adapts a USB mouse or digital USB joypad to supported Amiga, Atari ST and STE, or Commodore 64 GEOS mouse ports. The product page exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. Only digital joypad input is supported; analog controls are not. TIKUS is distinct from the visually similar, non-upgradable Tank Mouse Kickstarter adapter. The revision sold since 2026-03-24 adds stored per-axis sensitivity configuration for Amiga and Atari mouse modes. |
