Building a MicroCommodore 64: Hardware, Coding and Gaming

Published 2024-05-15
After the MiniCommodore 64, I wondered if it was possible to make an even smaller one. In this video, I build a MicroCommodore 64!

  • So great to see young people interested in retro computers -- and wearing retro T-shirts! πŸ™‚
  • @ypey1
    So much fun... so glad new generations enjoying old school 8bit stuff
  • @okatashiyoniku
    In my country Japan. There are very few retro enthusiasts like Sayaka. I think it's a very valuable asset. Since the economy is in a downturn, I think it is important for Japan to have such human resources.

    In case you are not aware, the yellow lighting bolt you are seeing on the top right of the monitor is because the Pi is not receiving enough power, so you need a higher current power supply.

    I was a C64 fanatic as a kid in the 80’s. It warms my heart to see so many young people still involved with the C64 after all these years. Thanks for sharing!

    The more I watch soldering, the more confident I feel, great video!
  • @cpsvis
    Bare Metal C64 the BEST emulation!
  • @keiths8700
    I for one love this style of your video the best, where you explain what you are doing and then do it. Thank you, love your channel.
  • @bellissimo4520
    Amazing stuff!! I'd love to see it as a finished "product"...
  • It's great to see someone of the new generation being interested in a project like this. It's also great to see they have better soldering and technical skills than I managed to acquire over 50 years.

    I had mine at XMas in... 1983!... Lots of lots of good memories, went quite fast to learning assembly, and joined demo groups quite soon.... The virus never left me, today I'm still a software engineer 40 years later in a big company, and the C64 still lies somewhere in a box in the basement of my house. This is so refreshing to see that young people are still doing so much interesting stuff with that marvelous computer today!
  • @makidoko
    Your parents were barely born when I had my C64. Thank you for reviving it this way. C64, rocking the scene since 1982.

    Ok this is amazing!!! Much better than all the other emulator boxes that run a whole Linux Distribution that takes some time to boot up. This here actually feels a lot closer to the original C64 hardware but much smaller and Menu-wise very convenient to use. I think i'll definitely gonna put together such a thing too :) Love the clickswitch Mini Keyboard. Those parts can at least even be easily replaced since they are cheap and readily available off the shelf compoments. That's what's i like a lot.
  • @RudysRetroIntel
    Very cool project! I liked the way you make the videos both in Italian and English. Thanks for sharing
  • @tonybennett7145
    Looks like a fun little unit to put together! I like the way you try and keep us entertained with lots of different projects. Always fun and always interesting. Great stuff!
  • @RDJ134
    Fun looking project, i use to love progamming on my C64 when i was young. Realy could loose track of time in it. :)
  • @kilosan
    I have listened to podcast you were in 😊 I'm hoping that your channel will grow quickly.. greetings from Nottingham
  • @user-lx4nr1nb9i
    My father worked with electronic components in the 80s and 90s, watching your videos brings back good memories. Thank you! and congratulations on your interest and knowledge, it is a great pleasure to watch your content.
