Mcc-216 vga

Thank you.
It looked interesting.
I wouldn't mind having something I could run C64 software on.
C64s are getting surprisingly expensive.

Why not get a Chameleon64 then?

If you have an existing C64 or C64C then it plugs into the back, provides a VGA video out, floppy emulation (to allow *.D64 or *.PRG use), tape emulation (*.T64), cartridge emulation (*.CRT), extra RAM and speed for GEOS and lets you use any devices plugged into your actual C64 like joysticks, mice, real floppy/tape drives.

IF you don't have a C64 handy then the whole cartridge will work in a standalone mode (plug in a PS-2 keyboard) and if you attach the optional docking station then you can use the joystick ports on that.

There's much more too it  You can use a CDTV IR remote as a joystick, run a Minimig core, run a ZX Spectrum core, etc, etc.

If you want something for C64 (not a C64) look to the Chameleon

You beat me to it.

I've been interested in the chameleon.
I have a C64 with MMC Replay cart. Was thinking of changing so I didn't have to keep copying D64's to floppys but from that review I might as well just stick with what I have

I have the MMC Replay cart too.  It's gathering dust as I just run the D64 & T64 images from an SD card in the Chameleon.

Chameleon looks interesting, but I don't have a C64 and the Replay board looks like a better Amiga emulator.

If you want the Amiga more than the C64 then I'd go the FPGA Arcade route as it provides an AGA machine.  I'm also hoping we get a C64 core for the FPGA Arcade.  There is a VIC-20 core already.

I have both so I have no bias.  I really use the Chamelon as an expanded C64 while my FPGA Arcade is purely used as an Amiga.
