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.

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.

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™)

The idea is to have games that work on both machines, yes. There's also talks about doing platform specific games where for instance much more memory can be used without having to wait for the stuff to load all the time. No, don't worry, I'm not planning any FMV style games on the Sega CD, but who wouldn't want to see a classic game, like, ehh, The Last Ninja reimagined? Ok, not everybody but you know what I mean. :)

Classic games and I'm sure new games too will be licensed and included on the machine.

Are you interested in getting into games development?

that would be a selling point, many classic games with 0 loading times. with a nice frontend menu. savestates. etc.

So basically what EasyFlash cracks already do... :)

This product will probably be the low point of people trying to cash in on the retro rage ... *puke*
