How to Make a Replica Commodore 64

You can't beat the experience of using a real, original retro computer. But emulation is so much more convenient. In this video we'll combine the two and build a replica Commodore 64 using a real computer, but strip out the electronics and replace the motherboard with a Raspberry Pi running the BMC64 bare metal emulator. This gives use all the feel of the real machine but with all the advantages of the modern hardware. Make sure you check out the project page on my Byten N Bits website for all the circuit diagrams and links to the parts you'll need. https://bytesnbits.co.uk/replica-commodore-64 You'll need to set up BMC64 on your Raspberry Pi. This video will show you how. https://youtu.be/53wHr415LPU Parts Commodore 64 on eBay : https://ebay.us/EobqoN Phil6581 eBay store : https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/phil6581 Spare parts : https://www.retroleum.co.uk/ Screen : https://amzn.to/47A0GlZ or the one I use https://www.crowdsupply.com/elecrow/crowvision Matrix prototype board : https://amzn.to/49seoZX Male pin headers : https://amzn.to/47b1Lkr Female headers : https://amzn.to/47rXUiy Raspberry Pi Zero 2W : https://amzn.to/3FXfGhZ 390R resistor : https://amzn.to/47bwRYY Adhesive PCB standoffs : https://amzn.to/471jR8l 30AWG solid core hookup wire : https://amzn.to/40yJjja 0:00 Introduction 2:27 BMC64 3:14 Buying parts 6:18 Choosing a Raspberry Pi 8:46 Circuit details 14:59 BMC64 keyboard settings 16:01 Breadboard testing 17:12 Making the circuit board 19:28 Putting it all together 23:37 Finished replica Commodore 64
