This is awesome I been thinking about buying a retro computer.I think I’ll wait untill this is ready.
Isn’t that 65816 what you would build a CMD SuperCPU with? ahem. AHEM!! Even if in FPGA there are plenty of us that would RUN to buy one. Oh yeah. Just take a Chameleon and do it a PROPER SuperCPU – and that there would make it THE ultimate C64 must-have.
You spelled Kernel wrong
Are there any plans to release a kit for this?
Maybe you should make a Twitter account?
The black/gray/blue case is gorgeous
you got help from Techmoan but get no help with a mini disc net MD 420 d I can not get my XP to detect it and there is no software online
Just curious is there any way you could publish the emulator to the public, could spark some people to want to play around on the 8 bit platform and possibly give you some extra bug testing with the coding with so many eyes running through the coding
sorry, it is dead born, without HDMI and USB it will never ever reach any numbers
Excited about this!
There is a computer can buy now on Amazon is it like this: https://www.amazon.com/W65C02SXB-Engineering-Development-System-Board-Microprocessor/dp/B00ZRTPG44/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474488251&sr=8-1&keywords=W65C02SXB
Good grief. I’m drooling. i need that machine…
Will you be porting planet x2/3 to it?
I would suggest using some ALP switches for the mechanical version of the keyboard as it will give the keyboard a vintage feel of boards such as the Apple extended keyboard and the IBM JX keyboard.
I love this intro. It makes me feel like I’m watching an 80’s or early 90’s sitcom. All the other music you provide us with is great too, my favourite is "Derivation of cleam". Your channel popped up on my recommended list about a year ago and I’ve been watching ever since. Thank you for the awesome content and congratulations on 1 Million Subscribers. Here’s to a million more! Matt
11:45 do i smell my other favorite youtube channel
I was delighted to learn that my CPU code is powering the emulator!
Between this and NuXT, I never have to grow up!
Is there anyone in OXFORD England that could make the motherboards for the COMMANDER X16, Did the MEMOTECH MTX512 not have the Assembler and Panel for use with assembler listings, a suitable processor built around a ARM processor which can execute 6502 machine code would work and if you google for ARM6502 chip you will find it.
What you can’t see is a DAC….pops a chip and shows us some resistors and a cap. Isn’t the DAC U3, right there under the AY-3 chip, out in the open in plain sight? Or they under the other AY-3? I’m just having a little fun. Nice job on this so far, dude.
nerds stop complaining about fb and join the 21st century
❤️❤️❤️
Only feedback is my vote would be for a "cuter" case. The mocks look "cool", "modern", but I personally love the "cute" look of the old ones.
The tactile keyboard for this is already available for $180. I hope the computer won’t be $800 🙂 Hopefully the computer will only be the same price as the keyboard (for the kit) or 1.5X the cost. Because I really want to buy this when it comes out. I want the thru-hole, Dev version.
Interesting video and fun to watch on a New Year’s day!
Just on the 2MHz limitation of the sound chip. Have you considered using cross clock domain teqniques on an FPGA (e. g. double flip-flop synchroniser or Asynchronous FIFO buffer) as a possible solution?
I’ve heard that music on a keygen somewhere years ago lol
I want that. Great Work btw :D. I am so ready for Stage 1.
Arthur?
Not sure what color to go with? I’d say Cream or GTFO, lol
This is a really awesome project!
8-bit guy you used mac to emulate im not a dumb ass
Useless.
This thing is pretty sick.. I’ve never tried to do any coding at all. But i would love to buy one of these in it’s completed form(In a case etc.)
I have a Nexys 4 FPGA development board from Digilent
with some custom Verilog I have a 32 bit CPU running at 100MHz
128K by 32 bit RAM and 640 by 480 VGA screen (4/8 bits pixel)

For the love of god I want this computer!The Case is Outstanding!The keyboard is Fantastic!
I would use sram, no fuddle with refresh lines 4Mbit sram’s are small. (surface mount) using more IC’s= higher price, Commodore knows this along ago, look at the difference between C64 v1 and c64-C and amiga 500 versus amiga 1200
Space station oblivion is driller
Hope you can dig into a compatible display as well. There is basically nothing proper available. Try to get some Chinese display maker to come with a nice 320×240 full RGB microled (oled sans o) panel with decent page swapping and flexible FPS up to 60fps. Preferable around 8-12 inch. A bit like those LED matrices, but then with a 0.5-1mm pitch.
When this does come to reality, a real test I will have to perform is to put Monty on the run on this thing it will be awesome
MHz, not mhz, not Mhz.
Please test Mister the FPGA project with relatively cheap DE10-Nano Board.
Talk to Jeri Ellsworth. She has probably got a single FPGA solution that does it all..
Add me to the list of folks who don’t do Facebook. Any news on this front worth sharing?
terry davis would be proud
You are re-creating the c-64 you know.
I love 6502 processor for years, addicted to ATARI 800. But There is absolutely no good C compiler for it. That’s why I think this project will unfortunately not have a big impact. I had a similar project some years ago but I gave up for this reason.
Wait… The W65C02 is "fully static design", meaning when you write to the Sound/LCD You can just hang the entire CPU for 4 clock cycles to slow it down
The mini-ITX case personally looks weird to me for a retro computer. The whole smooth-curved front feels more like a modern workstation or a set-it-and-forget-it style device like a Roku or game console that you would put on your TV shelf than a retro computer or something that you actually have to do programming or retro work/gaming on.
Well thinking of Mister the FPGA project, I envision that hardware emulation has come to the point
where we don’t need physical cores in any way… Cycle-perfect 68000 is already a reality.
