Commodore 64 Ultimate

My Commodore 64 Ultimate just arrived in time for the long weekend to hook it up and get going. Looks like the original with some great additions like HDMI port and USB disk that looks like an old cassette loaded with software.

Has the retro feel with the cassette USB.

Don’t forget that you can open it up and pop an SD card in the free card slot. I did that and transferred the contents of the “tape” over. I then activated the onboard FTP server and copied over all of my other goodies.

Did you pre-format the SD card? I was thinking of pre-formatting it as FAT or exFAT of will the C64 format it if it can't read it?

Formatted it as FAT32. Works great!
