This Century’s First 100% New Commodore 64!

The Commodore 64 was discontinued in 1994 and since then it’s been impossible to find a 100% new “real“ (non-emulation) replacement. Thanks to new Keycaps, the U64, & the sponsorship of [great PCBs from $5] let’s try to build the world’s first brand new C64 / C64C by experimenting with the new EVO64 motherboard, and the Ultimate 64, as well as the new keycaps from a recent Indiegogo Crowdfunding campaign, and a host of other modern replacements for the 6510 / 6502 CPU, PSU, PLA, CIA, SID chips, VIC-II chip, and more! 💬 Why comments may be off: *SUPPORT US FOR EXCLUSIVE PERKS:* 🙏 Become a Patreon: 📺 YT Channel Memberships: ❤️‍🔥 Click _Thanks_ under the vid 🎧 Get the music: 🔗 My website: *BUILD YOUR 99% or 100% NEW C64** _NEW MOTHERBOARDS:_ • EVO 64 (~$285): | • Ultimate 64 Elite (~$270): | • C64 Reloaded MkII (~$150): | • THEC64 (~$320): 🇺🇲 | 🇬🇧 _NEW CASES:_ • C64C Case (~$65): • Lego Breadbin Case ($ varies): _NEW KEYBOARD BASE:_ • Mechboard 64 (~$375): | _NEW KEYCAPS:_ • C64 Keycaps (~$45): | #/ • Lego Keycaps (sold out at Bricksanity sorry): _NEW CHIPS:_ • J-CIA: | Aug-2022 videos: • CPU (~$35): (65108501)/ • VIC-II Kawari: • PLAnkton (~$25): | • SID (~$30 x 2): _PERIPHERALS:_ • SD2IEC (~$60): • PSUs (~$49): • Wi-Fi adapter: • Joystick: • Wireless Gamepad: _ACCESSORIES:_ • Keyboard risers: | :1561772 • My modded longboard keyboard risers: • C64C Blue LED w/ long cable: • Keyman 64: • Generic USB LED Strip: • Ultimate64 LED Strip: • VIC-II² PAL/NTSC Switch: • 🛠 _Get the tools I use:_ 🇺🇸 | 🇬🇧 *SAUCES & CHEERS:* • The EVO64 Team • Lau Brix: • @GAMECLOSET • Everyone else featured and who helped • Wikipedia / Wikimedia Commons • The Internet Archive • Gardenside Prods., Clue Detectives & Paradise Radio • Special thanks to Ladyfractic & the Puppyfractics! • All other media featured is marked as public domain on Google Images or used with written permission or shown under fair use law. *MENU:* 0:00 Intro 2:12 Parts tour 4:27 EVO 64 Tour 14:38 Keyboard Build 21:06 3D Print Risers & EVO Build 25:01 EVO 64 Playtest & Opinion 27:35 The Ultimate C64 29:16 Ultimate Build 30:54 Ultimate Playtest 33:25 Conclusion & supporter credits *SOME INGREDIENTS BY:* • - design of website • - some graphics • - some 3D models © All original music & content Copyright & TM Retro Recipes™ LLC 1988-2023. *Some links may offer some peanuts to support this retrochannel but all opinions are 100% unbiased. #retro #retrogaming #retrocomputing #gaming
