Let's face it, you now realise you wasted $600 for some rubbish netbook performance C64 lookalike PC with Linux C64 emulator present.

So pretty much all you can now do is play on the emulator....so you download the entire 3000 original tape and 10000 disk archives of C64 games OR pop in your Retrogenius Ultimate C64 DVD and run VICE emulator on it....way to go :roflmao:

They might as well give you a free Jack Sparrow toy in the box with all their incitement to pirate seeing as you CAN'T use real C64 tapes/disks/carts ;)

To put this in perspective: You CAN'T use real Amiga floppy disks on the AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, Aros or the FPGA based solutions either. Piracy is the only solution there as well :)

OK, I stand corrected. There seems to have been developments regarding Amiga floppy disks and NG Amigas that I wasn't aware of. So let me re-phrase my original comment:

To put this in perspective: It may be possible to use real Amiga floppy disks on the AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, Aros or the FPGA based solutions. But piracy is the most common solution there as well :)

I just find it a bit silly to use piracy as an argument against the C64x, that's all.
