A Pi400 is also an excellent option in my opinon. I love doing both real hardware and emulation for different purposes, I don't see anything wrong with picking either, neither or both (neither of course is the worst option ;) )
- icedchai 3y agoI like both. The software is so much more convenient with emulation, but seeing the real hardware feels like it takes you back in time...
- the_af 3y agoTheC64 goes a long way into fooling you. Barring minor details (especially in the connectors and peripherals) it looks like a real C64! It delivers most of the nostalgic experience for me.
- the_af 3y agoI considered the Pi400 but, like I said, the C64 keyboard was a big deal to me. Otherwise I would just use VICE on my laptop :) Yes, I know: you can get custom keyboards, or print labels and stick them on a PC keyboard, or 3D print a case with a working keyboard: all of that is either more involved, more expensive, or fiddlier than what I wanted. I wanted an out of the box experience with a working replica of the keyboard, complete with PETSCII symbols on the key caps, and TheC64 delivers just that :)
