Why, I HAVE a C64 DTV.  And a real C64, and a C128.  And more to come.

Why not stick to the real C64, for the real look and feel? :-)

That's what I do (plus a x1541 cable that is)

That said, I find it easier to ask the missus to join me in a game on the Wii in the living room, instead of dragging her into the cold, dark hobby room where the rest of my stuff is located.

I guess the missus has something to do with the Commodore 64 being banned to the cold and dark hobby room... :lol:
MY C=64 has a warm spot in the centre of my living room  :love:

ALL PC emulation feels like crap. They SIMPLY don't feel right!  You hear?   They SIMPLY don't FEEL right.............................let me say that again...............They SIMPLY don't FEEL right.

The frequency of the monitor too high? :lol:
Naah, some emu's actually do feel right, like Dosbox, the (Super) Nintendo emulators, and the Megadrive emulators.
But still, I also like to have the real thing, somehow...

In defense of skurk, Im sure he is thinking what I am thinking.........that the C=64 experience will just be better on the Wii compared to Computers and other consoles.............

Wanna know why?   Because of the Fact that it is official, the execution of the games will be more seemless and FEEL official. Less of a headache to load if you will.

THese are things that can't be easily explained, but we know what we mean and what we are saying.

Alot of Emulators have clumsy interfaces that make the experience horrible.

Perfect example

the DIRECTOR, MEDIAPOINT, POWERPOINT, IMAGEVISION  and other Multimedia Applications may have many features that beat SCALA MM400's features of the Amigas....But I gaurantee you not one of thm is fun or as fun to use as SCALA...........simply because of the way SCALA is executed.  Its like a natural interface. The others are just wacked out and annoying, and those things alone turn me off to the applications.

Its the same with EMULATORS, most of them were thought up in an annoying way.....especially Amiga versions of these emulators.

When a Product is official, it seems more effort is put into them, and since Wii is a console, execution has to be as smooth as possible.   But Most C=64 emulators for most machines out there were created by hackers, who are just content to get the thing running and dont care much about interface.


THis is Soooooo impportant. Presentation is everything.

I hope you get what I am saying.

I believe C=64 games will be more fun on the Wii indeed.

Gotta agree there :-)
But emulators on the pc can be perfect considering the interface. Like MAME. Preconfigured, with screenshots, it works like a treat. You even can use a joystick with it. Though it can be more nice, like, fullscreen, and less options at the fingertip (options should be seperated in another program).
What I want to say is that you won't need a gameconsole to get that feeling. Just user friendly (or patient, since every game needs to be configured) programmers :-)
