The ones who are putting up the negative comments I would guess are young enough they weren’t even around during the 8-bit era.
My first computer was a Commodore. Not a 64 but a VIC-20.
This hack is excellent, I would love to get my hands on it.
Sure you can get a emulator to run on your I-Phone.
But it’s not the SAME. The screen, the keyboard with the Commodore symbols on the front, and not to mention the Atari 2600 joystick.

I would equate this project to someone restoring an 35 year old car. Sure it’s not fuel injected, doesn’t have a CD player, A/C, GPS, or Onstar.
But it does what it was intended to and the nostalgic value is off the charts.
I guess you would have to have lived through that period in computer evolution to really appreciate what this guy has done.

This is a very cool project. I give much credit to the man who made this happen. To those of you who have better ideas…. Put your skilz where your mouth is… Post your project here… Then we can talk crap about what you do, and make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside after a lot of hard work.. Yes any slacker can emulate or talk smack, but a true piece of functioning retro hardware with a new twist is always cool…

Bravo!! Great hack,love the look the shape and man it’s portable!And for all the folks b!tching about the slow load of the serial sd card adapter…..
There are expansion port cards with oodles of features such as nic and sd support, mp3 playback etc etc etc….
The choice is open to the imagination and hardware limits lol.And since the development of such expansion cards is ongoing ….I will leave it up to some one in the crowd to fill i those details with useful links {cheers}:D

Man, I am saddened by the amount of criticism on people doing “useless” stuff. This site is about that kind of thinking. Taking crap and making it useful again is nothing short of noble. There are no real “pointless” any things at all here, it is about learning the trade. Some trade in retro.

And this is about an awesome mod by the way, if it got any better than this, I have no idea how. A c64 laptop, and he was playing Golden Ax on it, that is fricking cool. I applaud you.

Sweet mod/hack!

@mono : There is, get a psp w/cfw, a higher-end palm os device, a nintendo ds with a slot-1 storage device, the list goes on. Once you get it just google (device name) (system name) emulator.

Some ask where’s the mod. If you don’t know, you obviously NEVER spent any real time with a C64.

For those that say it was a waste of time. It wasn’t your time that was wasted, and you made up your own mind to read this, so maybe you just need to shut-the-f-up.

For those that say, “wouldn’t it be easier” to put it on such-n-such or this-or-that…. wouldn’t take some of the challenge and/or fun out of the experience? Fcuk… if you want to get technical and plan on doing what’s easy, just play/use the original device/software/hardware…

Good… no… great work work man… I challenge anyone making comments (especially negative ones) to make something comparably better that has been shown to us here…

@ zacco

why….. FFS…. waster ur tymes posting in nots nglish on da webs?!?!?!?

I am sorry for your grammatical loss by the way.

If you are concerned about the subject of the modification, IE the Commodore64, then perhaps you should learn instead of complain.
