    Yes it is.

    On the other hand, it would be yet another "time-consuming" project.

    Its not that bad. If your short on time just buy the Pi hat version and call it a day. The cable plugs right in and bam. even emulates the sound of the disk. You can have it go at full speed or emulate floppy speed. Some games needed the slower speed to funtion correctly.

    I would suggest going c128 - its c64 mode is 99.9% perfect - and you CAN do a lot more with it; that being said, even tho I COULD do m0re with
    it, I always just booted right into 64 mode and never DID the c128
    stuffs. :P

    I think they look cooler, too - bonus; c128 D.

    That's why I like my x16-commander.

    It's like C64 but without C64 and with all new possibilities to discover and way faster. Like 8-Bit Amiga 500 or sth.

    If I want C64 experience I have C64-MAXI and Vice on PC. I still consider Ultimate so I could have carts but yeah.. there are options for C64 compatible setup that are countless.

    Now what's above it sometimes requires forgetting about the past.

    x16 is hard bet that D.Murray and K.Williams did, equal number of fans and enemies of the project, but if you want 8-bit on steroids I really like x16 very much!

    Commodore is back in business, they are selling the Ultimate Commodore,

    And that as I wrote in previous post is tempting for a fan who would like to stay connected to the past and see some options for retro-defined future as a hobby.

    currently considering whether to
    buy a C64 / 128 again. That will

    Get one of those new ones from commodore.net. They should be pretty darned sweet, especially if you don't have a regular one already.

    The videos behind the "new" models are so heart warming. The amount of effort they are putting into bringing back the brand is crazy. I would love to buy one if I had they extra cash atm. Hoping to get one eventually.

    Here is the playlist of the whole thing if anyone is interested. It's a very good watch.
