Commodore 64 Webit hack

Th e O l d C 6 4 P C - C o m m o d o r e 6 4 : W e b . I t

The well known brand Commodore has switched ownership time and again after Commodore went bust in the early 90s. In 1998 the first new Commodore 64 machine came into being: the Web-it.
The system is based around MS-DOS and the internet as standard. It retains compatibility with original CBM 64 software through the use of a software emulator. This video will show it's function and that I hacked into it.

The idea of making a Commodore64 branded machine has been repeated in 2011 by CommodoreUSA and they are selling a modified C64 case containing a regular PC (I believe powered by an Atom CPU so don't expect stellar performance out of it)

Great stuff Mark! I remember you really wanted one of these, how'd you find this one? Looks really interesting.

The audio on the new cam seems a bit low :(

Great review... had oneof them myself. Back in the days, sold it a week as I was very disappointed. I believe my one had no stylus ans the CPU was an 4LC86, basically an 386. Keep up the good work and look forward to ur next video!

That's a fantastic looking machine; I love the styling of the case. Thanks for showing it to us. It was a great trip down memory lane seeing all those old PC games. I remember most of them from my first PC which was a DX4. The two games I really loved from that era that you didn't seem to have on that system were UFO: Enemy Unknown and X-Wing.

Love Hexen! I think its hilarious that you can emulate all BUT a C64 on that thing LOL!

That is too cool, Mark. Awesome pick-up!

@MrGamerManiacs maar toch een nice filmpje



[MrGamerManiacs]

mark nu heb je weeral je slechte camera gebruikt xd

[laatmaarzien]

Lol, I agree it's weird that it runs all those 3D (and 3D-like) games but at the same time it has trouble emulating the C64.

Weer een leuk filmpje Mark, wist niets van het bestaan af! En dude...Doom op dit apparaat? Awesome, haha.

De commodore 64 had gave spellen voor zijn tijd. Ik speel er nog graag op af en toe. Die Webit versie, kan die op het ineternet?
