Is this Raspberry Pi 400 setup the perfect Commodore 64 Emulator?
Channel: retroCombs
Date: 2021-01-10

I take a new Raspberry Pi 400, flash an SD Card with Combian 64 (v3.0), add some vinyl, and turn the whole thing into a branded Combian Pi/400. A VICE emulator specific Linux distribution that turns your Raspberry Pi 4 (or 2 or 3), into a Commodore PET, VIC-20,C 64, Plus/4, or C 128. It's a fun, an inexpensive, retro-computing project that's perfect for any Commodore fan.
