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.

On the other hand, there's better ways to scam people or acquire money from illegal activities :-D Having a proper job would also suffice.

A proper job? Noooo! I want people to crowdfund me to work full time on demos, emulator features, and c64 toooools!

(only mostly joking; I would quite happily spend more time on c64 things if it actually helped pay the rent)

Considering there are people doing this and gaining fame and bucks...
Well, 8 bit fiddling is definetely an underestimated art.

Just found this in the disclaimer on the website:
"The Commodore Roms, BIOS and THE 64(tm) form factor are officially licensed from Cloanto https://cloanto.com/"

So, this cloanto has a emu platform called retroplatform: http://www.retroplatform.com/. The c64 emulation is based on vice (https://www.c64forever.com/sourcecode/).

I think the 64 is too expensive!Everyone can get C64.Emu by Broglia,ANVICE or Frodo for a few Bucks and can play his Demos or Games Mobile.I do not pay 160 or 200 Bucks for this!

Its probably also more than likely that the screen will probably be the usual 60hz TFT. Want a portable C64 cheaper and more flexible? Get the JXD S7800B handheld, Install the 50hz kernal patch, Purchase C64.emu and set forced screen update to screen refresh rate.
