The old C64 gets fired up around 5 to 8 times a week for a spot of Forbidden Forest, Poster Paster, Super Pipeline and Mr Mephisto mostly... :)

The old VIC 20 maybe 4 or 5 times a month for a few games of Omega Race & Gorf for the most part... :)

Even though I can use a C64 emulator running at full speed on the Amiga it lacks something in the sound quality that only the real SID chip can produce... :)

Does the C64dtv allow to copy new games onto it?


No, but you can do as I have done and place it inside a cheap PC keyboards and add joystick ports etc... and hook it up to an Amiga to allow you to download and play all the old C64 games that you can store on your Amiga's HD... :)

the Catweasel MK4+ will allow you to use dual SIDS on it to solve your problem Franko...awesome product !


I've quite often looked at the Catweasel board but never got round to buying one, it's like I say the Frodo C64 emulator on the Amiga runs fine it's only the SID emulation that lets it down... :)

Reckon though I prefer to use my real C64s to play C64Games especially with the MMC board where I have a 4GB SD card with all my C64 Games on it, so there are no tapes or disks involved and I rewrote the BIOS for it to allow full loading and saving of the C64s memory including "under the ROMS"... :)
