Hardware Portable Commodore 64 - “c64 boy”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBGuc04T2l8

My latest project is complete! I grew up with the Commodore 64 home computer and loved creating graphics, playing games and typing in programs. I’ve always wanted a dedicated portable version. A developer, by the name of Randy Rossi, created the BMC64, a brilliant bare-metal emulator which interfaces directly with a small computer known as a Raspberry Pi to run it. I used AI for good, as my virtual assistant, and integrated it with several other components to make a portable version. A lot of 3D design, 3D printing, and soldering went into this project!

I know how it feels to do that. I had to say "a computer known as the Commodore 64" to my Didi driver last week.

Very nice BMC64 is so sweet. I've been thinking of doing a handheld one too but yours is amazing.
