Love this! The C64 introduced me to the world of computers as a kid. I still have that almost 40 year old machine in my collection, but I’m weary of failure every time I turn it on. This is somewhat better than the MiSTer as I can use physical peripherals with it. Great work!

The most common failure points in these old boxes are the capacitors and the power supply. Swap out all the caps and replace the original power supply for a modern remake and the 64 could last you another 40 years. :)
