Little dimples on the plastic were a molding defect called shrink due to the plastic still being hot in the thick thread boss section and continuing to shrink while cooling after the part was released from the injection mold.

c64 my fav computer of all-time

Holy screen

WTFN.

i love C64 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Forever

You need some more screens xD

Loved this game.

The Pcuae mod has an option to connect to the internet via usb Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapter for dialing into a bbs, and I remember seeing someone say that it also works in X-windows.

Really... openSUSE should make an easy app like what MX Linux did to make installing these 3rd party (but necessary media codecs) much easier. When I first time installed and used OpenSUSE, I was really irritated to find out most of my video files doesn't play. Adding 3rd party repos just to install these media codecs doesn't leave a good taste for me either. That being said, I'm really enjoying openSUSE Tumbleweed and it's my preferred rolling release distro. For my main daily driver PC, nothing beats my beloved MX Linux that I have customized with a lot of scripts, addons, and gui to suit my taste/needs.

Switch to hyprland already

I've been a kde fan since plasma 4.11 and I struggle to move away from it. I love sway and hyprland on my laptop, but I always find myself back in kde.

Haha, I had one of those it never worked well.

Perfect for a vanilla Gentoo install 😁👍. Is the ram DDR2 or DDR3?

It’s fine bro

It looks fantastic. I like the lighting efects, the keyboard, everything so nice. Congratulations!

I wanna build something like this so that I can feel like Dr Claw MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Just wondering, are the keyboard recommendations strict, or will most 60-64 keys be similar? 😅

still to this day one of my fav ever racing games and it took forever to load lol..., and i have grown to hate arcade games now i'm all strategy and simulation these days, but this game in 2 player when you design your own courses, was awesome all it needed was to have more players allowing junctiobns and short cuts or erm long cuts lol, was genius i designed some really fan tracks at the time jull of areas of mud and junctions to catch the player out which when battling did most of the time lol, thx for the nostalgia

This game and Mig Alley Ace were twobof my favorite head-to-head games to play against my brother when we were kids. Of course, we had copies of them that were not purchased. :)

I really like this build!

Cool

I don't like the Fact you didn't glue the LED strip back down, but nice and simple fix, that prevents further damage.

Good looking fix dude.

Good fix!

Nice! I bet it will get good use.

Now that you have a way into the Linux system, has anyone figured out how to integrate the switch to Linux via a menu choice added to the C64 without doing the flash update each time?

Any idea if I copied the Linux program folders and wrote to a raspberry pi or Orange Pi, would it boot and work as the C64? I want to have this computer with say a pi-4 so I can create a dual boot into the C64 or Raspberry Pi OS for internet access and all the other features on the Pi. If anyone has done this please let me know.

A nice gift for somebody. The Pi can run DOS, so a good DOS gaming setup would be fun.

Amen... This is Real linux! Some tips... 1. Download vpm if xbps seems hard to remember 2. Xtools is very helpfull too. It has xlocate for example 3. If anything is not there there is xdeb to add deb files but i do not suggest and xbps-src is helpfull sometimes

Fair warning, Ive has small parts fall out of a similar model from the adjustable legs of the stand.

Saved my old chromebook

Thanks, Nate! I couldn't find that darn door release! Washer stopped working mid-cycle...power to unit but everything is dead. Any suggestions?

How to insert hhd

Interesting that it has Firefox, considering no network capabilities. I still think the most useful hack to this machine is replacing the innards with a Pi and adding an eth port and an internal SSD

That's neat! I like it.

Caddy size 9.5 or 12 inch

DOes this work on C64 Mini?

Nice…. But why are you speaking to fast ?!? 😝

Thank you for the very nice review, the lunar rovers were to used for the 'testing forks' part of the game. I had a track called 'forks' that had about 10 forks. The lunar rover had to drive slow so it wouldn't miss any forks. One wrong turn and you had to go all over again. You can race a Canam against an AI lunar rover and loose the game because you picked the wrong fork. Slow and steady wins the game.

I have the same device and I believe I need more memory. What models are you currently using?

It needs a cartridge port so it can be expanded to use Ethernet, extra ram etc

You let chidren use Linux??? Linux is a highly addictive and dangerous material, I been hooked to it at the age of 19 (legal age) and ever since then I couldn't quit it.

Cool video! I love it when we can break into machines like this through some kind of "back door" and do some underlying stuff on it, even using it with the other OS, as in this case (or installing additional OSes in the case of some intended game-only consoles), making them do more than they were really designed to do! Happy New Year! 🥳🎆

"Haha, hit that dislike button TWICE...!" Yeah, really clever, I get it, LOL! 😉😁

"Maybe be able to download some other software from the internet or something like that..." 1. * _Through/on_ the internet. 2. But even then, isn't that just a given? Where else could you go for a download these days? A dial-up BBS?
