Re: My Commodore 64 Will Be Arriving Soon

I've got it! Stay tuned for an unboxing video and a series of videos, exploring the new Commodore 64 with commodore Vision OS! *I had to drive a SEVEN HOUR round trip to go pick it up, or it would have spent an eternity in a FedEx warehouse (and probably got lost). Absolutely pathetic. I put up with...

Re: Has anybody come up with a screen solution?

Ah, come on man! Don't show me pages like this . Now that's another page I will be refreshing -- weekly -- for the next few years! :lol: And then it'll end up costing me money! I am actually keeping my eye out for an old Commodore monitor. The problem is I live in the middle of nowhere, so it's hard...

Re: C64 8-bit Software Development

I understand that a 16-bit computer can’t handle a modern browser, but what if we created a 16-bit browser that only extracts and displays text?

The plan was quite well developed and researched. I came to the conclusion that while I wanted something loo...
