Message: [QUOTE="PhaseJump, post: 365577, member: 72924"] HDMI is more than a video connector, licensed or not. You're talking about including a DAC or more complex hardware in an old machine using 6502 chips. It's not idiotic at all. It's outside the scope of what the machine even is. It is something you can build and 3D print yourself. It's 3D printed. Retro computers as brand new platforms are a thing. People develop software for them. Many of them are north of $250. Look at the Commander X16, Foenix Retro Systems, even the Mega65, ZX Spectrum Next or the new Commodore 64. They range from being original chipsets with dependency on FPGA for glue logic, all the way up to total FPGA hardware reliance. The CX16 has a future second-generation redesign in the works that will turn it into a game console with 1 slot and the 2 controller ports up front. It's not going to happen any time soon, and there is lots of development around it. Surviving what? It's an open source, 3D printed, hobby platform you can build yourself. It's homebrew jank from top to bottom, and it's been talked about for years already. [/QUOTE]
