Commodore is back with a brand new, but familiar computer - The Commodore 64 Ultimate is a modern FPGA-based recreation of the original C64 from 1982. It builds on years of work by Gideon Zweijtzer and turns it into a complete, officially branded machine. In today's episode we do a full breakdown of the hardware and cover every aspect of the product.
