There's a new mini around the corner...

"Accurate opperation" to me would require a keyboard in some way. If you can't print your name scrolling across the screen then what good is it? Its not just a game machine, its better at being a educational tool for BASIC really.

It'd be neat if the keys actually worked, I guess, but at that size it wouldn't really be use usable.  You can plug in a USB keyboard; isn't that good enough?

I dunno, I think having a working keyboard would be better.  I mean most of my memories with the C64 were using it as a computer with keyboard.  If I wanted a box with a modern PC keyboard I'd probably just emulate.

This is the only kind of mini system I'm potentially interested in. If the price is right, I'd buy similar user friendly emulated MSX and X69k boxes. But it still needs to be able to play all game images/files or have a hack that does.

They had a full fledged MSX thing called a OneChip that does all that basically

its just $*(430593405634056ff*ckINGEXPENSIVE$$$$$$$$$$.$$

I heard that thing sucked.

its neat, but not for the price, and for the mishandling of things by European people.

For what it costs you could just get a real MSX and have leftover cash.

Opening post says you can use a usb keyboard.

Hope it has a Commodore key, and Run/Stop, and has the right labelings since C64 puts stuff in weird places.

" is above the 2.

I confess, I didn’t read the whole article so I didn’t see the keyboard option.

It’s...good that they did that but the standard 108 is not the same as a C64 and I don’t have all those crazy character symbols memorized anymore!

[Arkhan]

the C64 keyboard f*cking sucked.   both layout, and feel.

the cursor keys were a special kind of stupid.

No goldbox games!? What a farce.

yeah and where's LEGACY OF THE ANCIENTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I'd be down for a C64 FPGA or something like this, Impossible Mission (and it's lesser sequel as a bonus) makes it worth it along with Temple of Apshai and plenty of other decent stuff.  I'd be all an MSX and Sharp 68K one, especially as a Konami fan.  Space Manbow needs a legit release somewhere in the USA!

Read today that this is coming from a group that had an indie-gogo campaign for a full sized C64 and missed their December 2016 delivery date... rather than fulfill their prior commitment they appear to have moved on to something new...

No Super CPU? Fail.
