1.0.1 firmware?

  markhw

   Just received my C64Mini and I've got to say I'm disappointed... the
   joystick is plasticky garbage, and there's terrible input lag... setting
   my TV to a game mode didn't really help massively, and I don't experience
   input lag on any other game system I've had connected to it.

   I notice from this review
   <a>[2]http://www.ausretrogamer.com/review-thec64-mini-computer/</a> there
   is a 1.0.1 version of the firmware, my unit is only on 1.0.0. Is the
   upgrade file for 1.0.1 available anywhere? The upgrade page on the site
   only lists 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 neither of which are available yet.

   I've played around a bit more, and using it on a more recent TV has all
   but eliminated the input lag. I wonder if the 720p output is the problem,
   1080p displays would presumably have to upscale this internally. An option
   to change output to 1080p would be nice (if possible).

   Joystick's still terrible though [3]:(

   Yeah the joystick is cheap muck not like a comp pro at all,but it gets the
   job done im not getting any imput lag at all using a LG 4k tv and it works
   perfect on game mode even tried it on a cheaper walker 1080p tv and it
   works like a dream,tried a ps4 controller and it works sweet for the
   gaming but goes a bit crazy if I try get into the menus or anything
