^ That's obviously the ideal scenario, to have what's essentially a brand new C64 with original or equivalent hardware. Unfortunately, I no longer have the physical ability to accomplish that (or any of the other incredible motherboard remakes for Macs that I would love to have). For people...

I bought a FujiNet years ago for my Atari 800XL so when I finally (re)acquired an Apple IIc this year, an Apple II FujiNet was at the top of my list of things I needed for it. I haven't been disappointed at all. The network features obviously get top billing, but it's also a great disk and HD...

That does look great. Tangentially, I had very mixed results from RetroBrite projects. I never had mottling or over-bleaching issues, but some of my attempts re-yellowed within a few months. I stopped RetroBrite after that for a few years. About a year ago I read that someone had the same...

The Cyclone FPGA used by MiSTer only has 110K logic elements to reproduce hardware including processors, ROMs, and discrete logic. MAME does not have that limitation, the ROMs and emulation can be whatever memory the host system has. Because of this limitation, for more complex systems and...

I'm curious how you like it.

Many years ago I wondered the same thing. It is certainly possible to do it with varying success, but the hardware in the 1G AppleTV is far from ideal because of the low memory and not particularly powerful CPU. It's massively outclassed by current SBCs both in hardware and software...

I have on my DE-10 Nano MiSTer. It's nice but I found it to be buggier than real hardware and Mini vMac. The Mac Plus core audio issues were fixed earlier this year so that's a welcome improvement. I'm hoping that we one day get a color Mac core. It's possible to run an emulated color Mac...

I've had a MiSTer (original) for a few years. Once you get it setup the way you want, it's a lot of fun. Some people greatly prefer it to software emulation but I see it as a good supplement. These days latency mitigation in software emulation is pretty good, so I no longer notice the...

I'm only guessing here, but my experience with modern systems is undervolting boosts performance by cutting down on heat generated, thus preventing throttling. The downside is that not all CPUs (and other MB chips) are capable of functioning properly at lower voltages. It's easy to know when...

I've been using a Huion tablet for years. It was a fraction of the cost of a Wacom and works just as well for me. The tablet I purchased is no longer made but you should be able to easily find the newer options on Amazon or elsewhere. EDIT: This "Inspiroy H1161" looks to be the newer...

I think it looks batter, more professional, and far more original with it as it is in all black.

Excellent idea (y)

^ Thank you!

Could you point me to the exact cable and power supply you are using? That would be much appreciated.

I would be interested.

I see your points that an all-in-one solution would certainly be excellent. I don't have the skills required to create such a device, either — recapping systems already stretches my electronic skills (and takes me a ridiculously long time as well). But even if someone generous doesn't come...

I've had a lot of the same ideas. I'm not as concerned about the safety of my homemade PowerBook battery replacements, but it's just a lot of work and I don't think that in the long run that the effort + time + tools + materials really pays off vs. the usage. I would rather spend my time...

Most excellent, thanks for this.

Is building this version of Mini vMac the same as the "original?" I've got a pretty good workflow to build Mini vMac as needed for various projects including RPi's and an Orange Pi 5. Are the flags and everything else the same?

What's the miniPCIE SATA performance like, especially compared to the built-in IDE?
