Maybe I've missed the point, but how is this cooler than UAE on a PocketPC?

UAE is an emulator.  This is real hackable hardware.

Much more geekier! :-)


Hmmmm.... Until I see some proper Tecnical documentation, this C64DTV is nothing more than an Emuator running on a single chip computer :-D

What people may not know, is that most TV's and VCR's built in the last 5 years or so are capable of recieving both NTSC and PAL signals. Oh, and that french one that's exactly the same as PAL but has a different name coz it's French! ;-) SECAM I beleive.

SECAM was also used in the eastblock, it got diffrent a colorsystem on a real PAL you only get black and white:-P
But why does UK television recieve the sound on a diffrent subcarrier frequency than all other european PAL systems, whos being difficult? :-P

No wonder the japanese got feed up and did  multiformat-TVs.


DIGITAL!!!!!

Well however it's setup you CAN hack the hardware. Can you hack a pocket PC and hook it up to a real Amiga disk drive? A keyboard?

The hardware was designed by a well known person in the C= community, the same designer of the C=1. Alot of thought was given to tinkers/hacking. There's even hidden easter eggs in it.


Yeah respect to Jeri :-)

With regards to hooking a PPC to a rael Amiga DD or Kbd... I'm sure I could if I had the time :-D
