THE 64™

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-64-computer-and-handheld..

I don't suppose anyone know who the "world class software and hardware engineer" is, or the "technical team from around the world"? The page fails to mention any names besides Darren Melbourne.

Do I get it right, that it's extended DTV? That's not exactly bad thing, or is it?

No. It basically says it's going to be a computer (ARM SoC) running an emulator. Presumably it's one of the already available emulators.

which leaves the question... which one is it?
- VICE (will run slow on this kind of setup, meaning its x64 with fastsid if you want decent speed -> crap)
- FRODO (will run at decent speed, but compatibility sucks -> crap)
- custom (unlikely)

meanwhile, rhaspi2+keyrah+c64 case will get you pretty much this. *sigh*

Morpheus: So people shall create games that run on the thing, but as it's supposed to be compatible with the original C-64, those games shall run on an actual C-64 as well?

Why not simply include a bunch of C-64 games? Those keep rolling in anyways.

Yes, with games that will inevitably end up here as cracks... :)

More than likely will be Vice with a custom frontend.

Should not be an issue speedwise AND with resid enabled with build >2.4 or so. I have it running on my smartwatch at full speed with resid enabled and that is a pretty standard dual core arm core. X64SC port is out of the question however.

We've worked to ensure that the experience is as close to the original as possible! (THE 64™)

In order to be successful, one must project an image of success at all times. (American Beauty)
