As always, but especially here, be careful how you wire things up because it is easy to zap your computer by applying voltage where it shouldn’t go! Dedicated systems (e.g. VIC20/Pet/Plus4/C128) can be created in EmulationStation following these instructions. However, there’s no denying that it certainly looks the part: this is an impressively accurate recreation, right down to the odd F1-F8 buttons (there are two assigned to each key and you have to hold Shift to type the even-numbered ones). OMG. Love Short Circuit…can’t get his ‘Stephanieeeee!’ catchphrase out of my head. We watched it with my dad one wet weekend in about 1990 and he added it to his list of pop culture impressions. It didn’t help that our au pair at the time was actually called Stephanie. ZIP archives will be extracted to a temporary directory, in roms folder. The temporary directory will be removed on exit.

This is the saving grace that should ensure The C64 can still be enjoyed by modern gamers. There’s still a thriving homebrew scene for the original Commodore 64 and a lot of these games were made in recent years, meaning they were designed with modern standards in mind.As a replica, it is captivatingly precise. Placed alongside an original unit, only the logo and USB ports tell you that this isn’t a carefully preserved 1980s model. The new mechanical keyboard is a little softer to use than the original, but it’s an impressive reproduction nonetheless. Even before it is powered up, the C64 is capable of delivering a powerful hit of nostalgia. The Mini was delightfully tiny, but there is something much more evocative about holding a 1:1 scale remake. The internal flash memory is accessible as device 1. However, software is not included to support write operations so high-score saving is not possible. Also, flash devices used in the DTV are specified for a very limited number of write accesses only.

I noticed in the Facebook group that someone mentioned a wireless gamepad/game-controller (logitech wireless gamepad f710) that they got working with the c64 mini, so thought I'd share the post here:

Those systems are helped by the fact that there are countless indie games created in the 8-bit NES and 16-bit SNES art styles, which help keep the games on these mini consoles approachable for gamers born in this millennium. The same can’t be said for the C64, which – the odd gem like VVVVVV aside – is sorely underrepresented when it comes to indie tributes.

Fun fact: I once played Bear Bovver on the Spectrum for so long that smoke started coming out of the power supply and we had to get it repaired. It all looks authentic enough on the outside, then, but inside is a different matter. This isn’t some sort of FPGA recreation of the original Commodore 64’s internal workings like you’d get from a company like Analogue: instead, it’s essentially running an emulator, much like the Capcom Home Arcade and all the other mini consoles you’ll find on the market.
