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. |

These blatantly wrong numbers cannot be sheer idiocy or ignorance. There must be a code in there... :) |

I think you're onto something big there. I'm pretty much convinced that the Illuminati is behind this thing. |

Quoting TheRykhopefully teaches "yeah c64 crowdfunding must back this for hype's sake no matter what it is" hipsters some lesson and if it's only don't leave brain home when spending money on the web I don't think there's anything hipster-esque involved, especially not on F64. Just an insatiable appetite for the acquired taste that is the C-64, or anything branded with it. I, for one, wish that the Commodore brand finally be left to rot in peace. And yes, that these money-grabbing scams dry up and people wisen up. |

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) |

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/). |
