For those who haven't seen the C64 DTV unit (which is a great toy to hack!) go here:

To see a lot of various units people have created from this toy, look here:

I'm surprised Ben has never made a portable from this.

Of course, I'm building a spaceship in my backyard and needed some computer consoles that were easy to hack and reprogram. The website hasn't been updated in a while and I've progrressed way beyond what you see here.. but here is the website:

Hey. You were the guy from that other forum. Petscii or something?

We have over 50 threads mentioning the DTV, and many have all the hacks linked to.

Sorry, just found this forum. I briefly scanned all the headlines and I didn't see any reference to the DTV. In fact, I saw every 8-bit system mentioned except the Commodore.. granted, I didn't do a search and maybe I should have.

I think your project is pretty neat. You aren't a nut trying to build a real spacecraft, but neither are you merely building a metal box. In fact, this is starting to sound more like an experiment in electrical engineering than a mere project, what with all the automated electrical equipment you're talking about.

Hey, nice to see you over here, David

I'm pretty sure Ben has something planned for the C64, but he was frustrated with the Hummer's lack of a joystick.

Reading the Petscii forum, the game hacks by expertsetup seem to solve that problem, and I shall soon be making a C64 laptop as well

Yeah, Ben mentioned that he would like a IDE64 adapter a few months ago, *hint*
