Tidy Up Your Retro Setup: 4-Way A/V Switch Now Available!
24.03.2026

Is your desk drowning in a sea of RCA cables? Do you find yourself constantly reaching behind your Commodore 64 to swap monitors or audio systems? We have just the solution to bring some order to your retro cave!

Our new 4-way multi monitor audio/video switch is now available in the Protovision Shop. This sturdy, RCA-based device is the ultimate „traffic controller“ for your 8-bit setup.

The beauty of this switch lies in its versatility. Because it works bi-directionally, the possibilities are virtually endless. Connect one C64 to up to four different output devices (perfect for comparing that SID sound on different speakers!) Connect up to four different Commodore machines to a single monitor.

Mix and match: Use it to separate your video and audio signals, sending your graphics to a CRT while routing your music through various amplifiers.

In fact, we use a combination of two of these switches at the Protovision HQ to connect four C64s to different video and audio output devices!

Anything that uses standard RCA connectors can be shared and switched with ease. If you’re looking to streamline your workspace, head over to our shop and grab yours while stocks last.

BOOM Special Edition: The Digital Inferno Arrives!
02.03.2026
The sky over Blue Moon is on fire, and now you can join the fight instantly! We are thrilled to announce that the digital version of BOOM Special Edition is now officially available. This isn’t just a simple re-release; it’s a high-velocity rescue mission for a piece of C64 history that almost vanished into oblivion.
Originally released in 1993 as a stunning homage to Katakis, the original BOOM was a technical marvel that nearly fell through the cracks of time. We’ve given this classic a complete engine overhaul, fixing bugs and fine-tuning the balance to create a unique side-scrolling shooter experience.
Grab your flight suit, snatch those power-ups, and make the enemy regret showing up. Purchase the digital edition from the Protovision Shop or our Itch.Io page and start the counter-attack today!

Great news for all power users and hardware enthusiasts! We know many of you have been waiting patiently, and we are thrilled to announce that the EasyFlash 3 is finally back in our shop! This versatile „big brother“ of the original EasyFlash is widely considered the ultimate „Swiss Army Knife“ for any Commodore 64 setup, and for good reason.
Whether you are a developer testing new code, a gamer tired of waiting for long loading times, or a collector who wants the cleanest setup possible, the EasyFlash 3 is the perfect companion for your machine. Don’t wait too long—stock is limited and these usually fly off the shelves!
