Ok, Iโm going in. Another present I just havenโt had time to explore yet. Now things have calmed down Iโll be putting this in the office and getting stuck in to projects very soon. #C64U #C64 #commodore #xp
Merry Christmas! ๐๐ ๐

There it is: The new C64 Ultimate. I'm pretty impressed by the build quality, everything feels solid and like a premium thingy, even has a nice weight to it. Much attention was put into details. What I don't like is that you can't swap disks via a shortcut or button press, but have to go into the menu every time. When watching demos, that really is a bit annoying. Especially since the 1541U carts with a real C64 can do it better. So ... that's a pity. But other than that: loads from tape just fine, runs everything C64 related I threw at it, has stereo SID support and if I wanted, I could add two real SIDs just for fun. Might do that at some point. (1/x)

And when I say "hands-on," I mean putting the thing through the wringer. You want to tell me it's "99% compatible" with existing hardware? Okay, let's try it...

๐พ Commodore International Says Commodore Industries Trademarks Are "Invalid"
๏ฝข The new Commodore International came into being in July of this year, when a team led by YouTuber Christian "Peri Fractic" Simpson purchased Commodore Corporation B.V. and "100% of the original and official trademarks that defined the Commodore name since 1983." ๏ฝฃ
And... yeah, it works. The only thing that gave it even the slightest pause was the Sound Expander, and only because I had to manually disable the internal virtual "cartridge" to route the signals properly - a quick flip in the settings menu, no more than that.

It's a rainy Monday here in Bradford, but a happy one - despite the fact I was working all weekend.
Why? Because I was working on something fun: going hands-on with the #Commodore 64 Ultimate, an FPGA-powered recreation of the world's best-selling home computer.
New video! I got my hands on a rare Amiga 3000T and am starting the restoration process.

Any #CommanderX16 peeps on fedi?
I'm still glad I ordered my #C64U, but I think I'd like to play with an #X16 a little later (perhaps when the second or even third generation hardware is finalized), as it seems like it might be a little more hacker-friendly, having an assembly monitor baked in, as well as a non-line-numbered editor and BASIC converter.
Hopefully both communities will cooperate and there will be similar hacks and tools for the C64U.
