What would be terrific for us. Is the keyboard and joysticks over usb. And gpio to the serial so it can have drive functionality. Also tape loading. Not sure if there is enough io for cartridge. But those two methods would be stellar.
My first computer was a C=128, I loved that machine, even purchased a monitor for it instead of running on a TV then I wanted sound so I bought a Tandy under monitor with duel front firing speakers and a bottom firing woofer, had a nice amp built in with great controls. I still have that! It is old now but still looks good, I tore it down and replaced all the caps on it a few months ago, then put in a blue tooth receiver so I can use it for a BT speaker set . Nice, it has a regular power cord so no searching for a wall wart, still sounds great too! Oh I did replace the volume variable resistor as it was getting to bad even with a spray of cleaner.
What's the difference between BMC64 and Combian64? Which is best? I'm confused. Also, what size SD card do you recommend? Thanks so much for any help and sorry about all of the questions.
BMC64 boots directly, it’s basically the OS, where Combian runs on Linux and you can drop to her command line. Both have base specs with SD recommendations I believe, can’t recall
@@Testacabeza I had the same issue. Turned out the 1541 ROM was not the correct one for the kernal used. After some trial and error I found one that worked. I also needed to add the 1541 device as the drive in the options below the drive unit

BMC64 is great. I’ve built one with usb keyboard, and joystick ports wired to the GPIO. I wish it was available for the Pi400 too.

Excellent, thanks. I think I will preserve my C64 PCB and put my raspberry inside and adapt the keyboard.
What do you call the white board that the Adafruit is connected to? Is was a great idea to use this and have it fit very cleanly in the case.
The Breadboard?

@@RetroGameCoders Thank you very much, that's really helpful.
What is the game that you have running on the photo on your blog page about this project?

It's my own dungeon game that I am writing
@@RetroGameCoders Nice! Hope to be able to play it in the future. That explains why I did not recognize it at all. ;)
when I try to load from disk, it says device not present error. any suggestions
Check if the sd card has a boot partition, copy the files onto that.

Is it the same if I use a Pi Zero instead?
Not sure, worth a try! There are physical differences with the zero so you will need to research :)
yes
