Turned out better than I had hoped! Looks pretty slick, especially with the logo ;D (If I do say so myself) home.ica.net/~leifb/commodore/dtvhack/Still need to add at least one joystick port.

Note that I'm running Synth Sample as a test, it also served as background music while I cleaned my workshop. I thought the SID emulation/recreation was very, very good!

Very nice, with that keyboard it almost looks like a product from the 80s!

OMG that is gorgeous!
Can a complete soldering novice build one of those? Is it possible to add rs232 to that?

Drilling/filing the oddly shaped holes in the case was actually the hard part. Unfortunately, there is no user or cartridge port available, so I don't see RS232 ever happening.

Interestingly, it works much better on the DTV than on my PC. My PC doesn't recognize any of the special keys accessed with the special "Dauphin" key in the corner, but the DTV does (for those that mean something on the 64, anyway)

Can this be put into a breadbox case and use a real c64 keyboard?

what size does this keyboard have ? I am looking for a small KB for my own hacking, i planing to build me a portable C64 Just want to take a portable DVD player, in the one I have here (the player's mechanic is broken so no problem to use it hihi) I have free space for it: with 13cm (~ 5 inches)and a deep of 9cm (~ 3,5 inches) If some one can tell me a KB that will work, let me know. I can solder everything and so on, but no programming of any custom chips there I have no clue... posible to redo the matrix of such a KB ? and take a old AT chip for controller ? thanks andy
