Back on topic...I wasn't aware there was quite the pent up demand for C64s as they are the most numerous single model of computer ever manufactured! Since only 5 million Amigas of all flavours were manufactured by comparison, I would hope that the new C= would in some way help Cloanto and/or RGL cut through the red tape to get THEA1200 launched soon! I can't see any other immediate benefit to Amiga side of things unless they want to buy out Hyperion too?! 

@BozzerBigD   Thanks for bringing this back on Topic.

All I would say is I’m happy to see the Commodore brand back in my lifetime. 🤞🏻 Christian “Perifractic” Simpson gets the backing he needs to take this forward.

Is that a new top as well?

Grill does looke cool.

The top is original, I just put some chrome trimming to match the front db9 panel details
Also the grill does some job because you can feel the heat coming out of the back when the machine is being used

Happy National Mac and Cheese Day, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 2:30+ p.m., Sunday, July 20, at

Panera Bread Restaurant
3590 W. Shaw Ave. (corner of W. Shaw Ave. and Marty Ave.)
Fresno, CA 93711
(559) 271-0104

     We'll talk about Seattle Pacific Commodore Expo NW that happened a few weeks ago and about my visit to C= repair tech, Ray Carlsen (he has a new project!).  We’ll talk about the August 1-2 Amiga 40th that’s happening during the Vintage Computer Festival West at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View.  Also we’ll discuss how the Commodore trademark has been bought and how that trademark is already impacting items, the Commodore 64U (formerly, the Ultimate 64) and the Commodore 64X (formerly, the 64 PC).
     The Miracle Piano Teaching System returns for presentation part 3, along with TeensyROM 64/128. We’ll check out a rebuilt Amiga 3000, before it is returned to its owner.  And the Ultimate 64 will appear, running classic and new software.

          Truly,

Not to butt in (but why not?) but the bulk of the conversation seems to be over on lemon - which isn't surprising since this announcement:

Which to save traffic I shall quote a portion of:

So it appears that they will, unsurprisingly, target C64 fans rather than Amiga (which makes sense since Amiga has little to do with C= and hasn't for some time). Whether or not this is still on-topic for this forum is debateable, but it does seem that an Amiga fan forum would at least be adjacent to what's going on over that side.

And yeah it's a souped up C64 not unlike The Spectrum or The A500 I suppose.

I still associate Commodore with the Amiga. Not just C64 (besides I never owned a C64). So I associate it more so with Amiga. I'm sure there is lots of others like me.

What would the steps be for restoring an Amibench that no longer launches correctly?

It gets as far as the splash screen, then crashes/goes back to the system menu when it gets to the Workbench-like screen.

I've tried using the Restore options with no luck

Edit: Rattled through some more Advanced Re-install/upgrade options. Seems to have got all back to how it originally was. Now to re-install stuff again!

I have the same problem when I mess something up. I usually go to AmiSphere Profile=>Advanced Update=>reinstall first three .lhapps
