Picodore 64

Now this is something MORE than cool:

That does look really cool. It's tiny too!

So what is it exactly? Is it based on the Commodore C64 DTV game joystick?

As someone in the thread said, it definitely doesn't look like it's made from wood from the outside. Very nicely finished and I love the hacked atari keyring joystick. Great attention to detail.

So tempting to make one of these.

THAT is awesome!!

Cool! Would for sure enjoyed having one of those. Seeing all these kinds of projects people have and the way they make interesting stuff, like the famous Amiga 600 laptop and this one, makes me eager to get cracking myself.

Anyway, would be neat to have something like that C64 thingy on the bus - would make time fly a bit faster. Besides, I could watch C64 demos on it.

Someone's managed to make an A500 on a chip now haven't they, would be cool to see an Amiga that looked like that.

Amiga 500 on a chip? Wow. That's something I would like to see.

Have Googled it and found something. Here is a link:

Amiga on a chip

Neat!

Yep, that Minimig project has been in development for some time. It is great to finally see a finished board in that link, and it looks very professionally made too.

Lets hope it does go into productions. I will be one interested in obtaining this for sure.

I'd be interested to know whether it needs the original Kickstarts. If he's managed to create an alternative/replacement for the kickstart, that'd be awesome for emulation in general.

[Puni/Void]

Yeah, it would be great to have one of those. One can mount it in anything, as it is so small. Do you think it will go into some sort of production? Is there a market for something like that? I would hope to think so, as there are quite many Amiga fans out there. Also, it doesn't look too expensive to produce either, but I might of course be wrong about that.

To save people opening the link:



You're right, it does look quite cheap to produce, but then lots of electronics is. It's the cost of designing and licencing patents that costs most of the money.
