Commodore 64 Gets a Modern Upgrade! ✨
Want to play your classic C64 on a modern TV without sacrificing authenticity? Check out the new HD-64 HDMI mod from Side Projects Labs! Here’s the lowdown:
No Cut Mod: This mod doesn’t* require you to modify your original C64 hardware – it’s a hybrid approach!
- Keeps Everything Original: All original functionality (composite, S-video, accessories) is 100% preserved.
How it Works: An interleaver board & custom code “sniff” the video signal and digitally emulate* the output, giving you a near-perfect picture on HDMI.
- Cost & Availability: Kits are around $130 and available from:
- Retro8BitShop
- Retro-Updates
- More Info: Check out the full project & installation PDF on GitHub & Veronica’s video (linked in the original post!) 📺
This is a cool alternative to full emulation or MiSTer – offering a true C64 experience on modern displays. Support the creator, Bob, on [Patreon](link not provided)! 👍
