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? It wouldn’t need to be complex—just enough for basic web browsing in a retro format. I’m not aiming to simply relive old technology but to continue where i...

Re: The History of Commodore Vision OS

Wow, Leo, that’s a great write-up. Truly interesting. Thank you for taking the time to answer all the questions. Yeah, I actually understand the licensing issues with ROMs and stuff like that. I’m perfectly happy to go over to C64 Forever and purchase the ROMs—as seen on the My Retro Computer Ltd Yo...

Re: C64 8-bit Software Development

This is very interesting to me, because last year, I started researching and mapping out what it would take to create a retro style OS that could provide basic communication for the Internet. The plan was quite well developed and researched. I came to the conclusion that while I wanted something loo...

Nice. This is also...

The History of Commodore Vision OS

So I've done the rounds. I've had a good like around the forums -- read (and replied to) everyone's intros, with great interest -- including Admin: Leo; which also gave me quite a bit of info, including that Leo played a role in having the c64x case built -- and also created Commodore Vision OS. Tha...

Re: "Hello World!" from Commodon

Hi CommoDON :lol:

That's certainly an interesting intro and story. It kid of feels like the first chapter of a book.

I feel like I should have been able to turn a page, so to speak and see where all that took you for the rest of your life.

What are you doing now? Did you continue with computers?

Re: Hello there.

wow, that has to be the most cheezy intro ever! haha, just kidding! :lol: Yeah, it's amazing that Commodore still holds a place in so many peoples hearts. I think the reason why that is -- is because it was a technological frontier. We went from riding our bikes around the streets and hiding in clos...
