BenHeck C64 laptop


Recommended Posts

There's not a single project that professional hardware hacker Ben Heck has done that hasn't impressed me. Once again he delivers the goods with a Commodore 64 original hardware to laptop conversion.

The unit gets modded into a nice portable device, complete with a bit of kit from another hardware hacker that allows SD cards to be used on the original C64 hardware via the floppy drive interface! Truly amazing stuff.

That is definately amazing. I'd love to be able to mould plastic like that.

 

On a more practical note though, I'm sure there are a lot of us who would love to be able to aquire the SD>FDD interface to play our C64 roms on the original hardware without the volatile original media.

i've been a bit bored of ben heck lately. but this really is beautiful. it totally makes sense too (unlike his N64 portable, thats where i started to lose interest)

 

dude has the arse of a genie!

that c64 laptop looks so good....i want one...i used to love the c64 back in the day...it was my first computer and had some great games.

 

just out of interest has anyone here ever builtany of his portables? i have his book "Hacking Video Game Consoles" which is a fascinating read butnever got around to building anything from the book. it's probably out of my skill level to do so anyway!
