Poor C64. If I were to reactivate my old C64 for a project, I'd much rather keep the C64 intact and somehow try to connect a RPi externally. Maybe emulate a 1541 drive to transfer data from a network share? Are there are any projects or guides that do something like that?
- laumars 8y agoI would imagine so because there are guides for do that with most 8bit micros. You can also get SD card readers that announce themselves as floppy disk drives for most retro computers (I've got an Amstrad CPC 464, BBC Micro and Atari ST all with various modern tech attached without altering the original hardware in any way shape or form).
- izacus 8y agoThe issues are usually on the video side - converting retro computer output to something that looks good on modern monitors or TVs usually requires scanline converters which cost significant amount of money.
- bencollier49 8y agoAgreed. This is vandalism, it's horrible.
- sixothree 8y agoYou can buy new remolded 64c cases. That's probably a better compromise than destroying yet another unit.
