This is from an Indigogo campaign. I guess fans of the C64 have this to look forward to: https://the64.computer/

And there back. £150 is a bit steep for me at the moment but one to watch thats for sure.
Yeah, if it was a bit cheaper I would be all over it. I have close to zero experience with the C64 so this would be a good way to try out some of the games but it's a little too expensive.
£100 is more like it.

This is getting close to release now. If you follow Jeff Minter on Twitter you will know he generally only tweets about two things, eating curry and tending to his sheep lol. Today though he had this picture!

Looks nice. Depending on the final price I might get one.
Yeah a few people getting this now, really wish an Amiga version was available!
Shadowrunner, pre order for £64.99
Still not sure why the keyboard does not function. Seems a trick missed.

I wanted to kickstart this, but also didn't due to the high price, plus no real proof that it would actually come out, as in the end they didn't even reach the final goal.
It made it out though. I’ll pick one up at some point.

Yeah it's unfortunate. I imagine the cost with working keyboard would have put the sale price too high for most people.
Looks nice indeed, but I already own some JXD devices, based on Android, which all can run Vice very well. I have the 7300, which has a 7 inch screen, really nice with Vice.
Here is a video review of the C64 Mini...

I kind of like it, but...
I like the idea of adding games, ROMs, and I guess most of the people who want to buy this mini C64 want that feature too. So why is it not properly implemented yet nor developed more properly? I mean renaming the file to a certain name to be able to add it, then redoing the whole process again seems cumbersome to me. And I don't think it's a complex feature to add. This must be included with day one release, and not reached in when they think they're ready.
So what's the emulation like on this?
Supposed to be really good. Can not wait to get mine. 8)
Anybody around here ever get one of these?
Just saw them on ebay here in Canada for $39.99 with free shipping. Obviously I couldn't resist at that price so I bought one! I will post my thoughts once it arrives. :)
I haven't but was a really good price you got it for!
Haven't either, even as a huge C64 fan.
I have. I reviewed it too. It’s a fantastic bit of kit.

Just read your review Zapiy. Sounds good, looking forward to trying it out!
Nice one, look forward to your thoughts on it.
