Can anyone explain whats that DTV ???
I'm also into retro C8bit computing and I haven't heard of that...


Look HERE.

Its a joystick that hooks directly to your TV and plays 10 classic Commodore 64 games. It's made by Commodore(Tulip), but was at least in part designed by the fabulous Jeri Elsworth of C=One fame. QVC bought the ENTIRE initial batch of 200,000 and have almost sold them all off in 2 weeks. The cool thing is because it was designed by jeri, you can hack a keyboard to the thing and maybe more. It's supposedly even got basic in it.


Moreover, it has a 256 color palette available to program instead of the 16 colors that the C64 sported...

I got my pair.  I'm keeping one stock, and the other one I'm going to add a keyboard, IEC port, etc.  I just need to find a suitable power supply and project case.


Can you maybe put together a project page to show how to hack these bad boys?  I'd love to have one...
