![]() The project's goal is not to create a C64 clone. He discussed requirements for sound and proposed potential sound chips. By the end of the second video, he had settled on a 6502-derived CPU, the Commodore 64 KERNAL, and an architecture based loosely on the VIC-20. In 2019, the popular YouTube program The 8-Bit Guy posted two videos titled "Building My Dream Computer", where he discussed hardware considerations in building a modern 8-bit computer. 7 Legality of the modified KERNAL and BASIC.It has an informal relationship with the MEGA65 and the C256 Foenix. Its common hardware solves retro-computing problems of today: namely, ever-increasing costs, auction site price gouging/sniping, and the unreliability of 40-year old hardware. It is simple enough that someone can understand the entire system, and interesting enough to create its own retro ecosystem. I wanted a computer that was similar to the Commodore 64, but made from all off-the-shelf components. It is the brainchild of David "the 8 Bit Guy" Murray, who wanted an accessible and affordable platform with late-80s sound and graphics. It is intended to be a hobby computer built from modern, mostly off-the-shelf parts, with KERNAL compatibility with the Commodore family of computers. The Commander X16 (colloquially known as the X16) is a modern hardware platform under development. 512K ROM + 40K program RAM + 512K banked RAM (expandable to 2MB)
