Hacking the C64DTV, it's not your average retro DTV device!
« on: December 18, 2004, 02:10:23 PM »
Add a keyboard, hook up a real 1541? 256 color C64? Looks like Jeri rolled in alot of stuff! I gotta buy one, actually a few. One to hack, a couple to collect.

Site one

Hack site two

Hack site three

Hack site four

Hack site five

Wow I havn't seen this much excitement in the C= community since the SuperCPU was announced.

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


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.
