4 months ago Hi,
First question would be if you are running the Teensy 4.1 in overclocked mode? I think it needs to run at either 700Mhz or 800Mhz to have the best timing on the bus. Also set code optimization to Fastest.
It is strange that the ROM test would fail even it is previously passed. Maybe there is an uninitialized variable in my code somewhere between tests.
The code is easy to modify and see why the DRAM test fails for you. I suggest trying a simple write/read test and see what data is returned. Hopefully it is just a Teensy speed issue.
It is also strange that many of the tests fail.. Like the VIC and color RAM. Yeah.. It does look like either a speed issue or some other signal integrity issue for your system.
Please let me know how it goes!
Thx -Ted

hi, MCL64 seems to be a great thing but i got some errors on checking a working c64 board (250407).
Before I started with MCL64 I was checking the hole hardware with my UfD Set (https://www.forum64.de/index.php?thread%2F127712-ufd-cartridge-dual-diagnose-cartridge-mit-spannungs-und-frequenzmessung%2F=&pageNo=1
But a check of the DRAM fails mcl64.dram.test.png (view on web)https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/299513e8-29b4-4af7-9a76-cf84c2a57b0d Ans the initial test also reports failures inside the roms, which passes the single test before mcl64.initial.test.png (view on web)https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9c5de2a2-53d4-473f-bd27-020eba83a1a8
Is it possible to solve these errors? I also think that all the different board releases out there (250407, 2050425,250466, 250469 and the older ones) maybe report other results. The most of them are in my collection so I can so some tests if you would be so glad to update the code. happy hacking and kind regards znarF54

After that I run some tests with my MCL64 the roms got a passed status.
But a check of the DRAM fails
Ans the initial test also reports failures inside the roms, which passes the single test before
