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.

Also, it should be 64K not 64KB, and the I is seriously broken. Ready is not aligned to the left. Next please.

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.

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/).
