C64 RPi 3 conversion

Poor C64. If I were to reactivate my old C64 for a project, I'd much rather keep the C64 intact and somehow try to connect a RPi externally. Maybe emulate a 1541 drive to transfer data from a network share? Are there are any projects or guides that do something like that?

I didn&#x27;t check much so I ask here. What about :<p>- scrolling quality (I appreciated C64 for its 50&#x2F;60fps scrollings, but in my experience, emulators screw that)<p>- graphics quality (usually, once on digital screen, all the NTSC&#x2F;PAL artefacts disappears, making the graphics quite different from an original C64)

Not so much a &quot;conversion&quot; as sticking an emulator in a C-64 box.<p>No cartridge port, user port, a&#x2F;v port (important for audio in), or cassette port (important for power). So no interesting hardware add-ons will work with this.<p>All you can do is run software that came on a floppy disk. While that&#x27;s the majority of software, if you&#x27;re doing this you&#x27;re a hardware tinkerer. And the C-64&#x27;s hardware add-ons were amazingly diverse and interesting.

I&#x27;m doing something similar with a Sega Megadrive&#x2F;Genesis.<p>However the plan is, unlike here, to add support for real hardware. For example:<p><pre><code> - reading real cartridges (already have a breakout board for this) - supporting original controllers (already done, inc 4 way adapters) - supporting the expansion port (no idea how, but shouldn&#x27;t be *awful* to do). </code></pre> The key to me is the support for original hardware while <i>updating</i> the machine to <i>also</i> support more modern things (like HDD, USB, Bluetooth, Wifi&#x2F;ethernet, etc)

This hurts to see. Poor C64.

I hope no C64 had to suffer in the making of this.

Would love to see one for C128 with 80 line mode emulation.
