The UpCart Plus Cartridge Adapter from Thomas Christoph is the latest addition to his growing line of Commodore 64 accessories. Building on the success of the original UpCart, this new version introduces an integrated reset button, making cartridge use even more convenient without changing the original signal path.
The UpCart Plus Cartridge Adapter converts the traditional horizontal cartridge connection into a vertical one. This clever change makes it easier to access cartridges on modern, space-limited desks while keeping the system’s setup compact and tidy. It’s a small tweak that offers a big ergonomic advantage, especially for those who frequently swap cartridges during testing or gameplay sessions.
Designed with sensitive hardware in mind, the UpCart Plus has been tested with several popular cartridges, including the Turbo Chameleon 64 (V1 and V2), 1541 Ultimate II+, Action Replay, Nordic Replay, and EasyFlash. Its careful design ensures compatibility and reduces stress on the Commodore 64’s cartridge port, protecting aging connectors from unnecessary wear.
Each unit comes in a custom COREi64 case, available in nineteen color options. A sturdy base and textured grips on both sides make inserting and removing cartridges secure and comfortable. The integrated reset switch adds a layer of practicality, especially for users who prefer quick reboots without reaching behind their system.
The UpCart Plus Cartridge Adapter is more than just a functional accessory—it’s a thoughtful update to a classic tool, built with the needs of modern retro computing enthusiasts in mind. Compact, reliable, and designed to last, it’s an easy upgrade for anyone who still loves using real hardware on their Commodore 64.
