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. |

Krill, not trying to convince you here as you've already made your mind up, but games will be released on the C64 as well. |

Quote:Overall unrealistic funding vs time vs product estimation
I think this might be a little short sighted argument though, as we all don't really know how much they have already done, i.e. how far the progress of this project is already. The fact that they are asking for funding now doesn't necessarily mean that they have only started this project one week ago. |

the fact that they dont show their prototype pretty much tells you that there is none - so what exactly did they do besides rendering mockups? |

"At the core of THE 64 is a low cost, high power ARM Cortex SoC"
Emulation... Then why not just get a cheap gaming tablet such as the jxd s7800b for less than £100 instead?? which also does 50hz via patch :-) |

The "prototype" they show on the pages looks like a normal C64 keyboard in a wooden case with the C= key being replaced by a mockup made in playdough by CEO's 3rd year old son.
That fact, lack of any real technical info and that it is a "flexible" campaign should be enough for anyone to steer way clear from this one. |

So still nobody actually knows who these guys are? I find that quite amazing. |
