It’s no secret that Commodore users love their old machines with the
Commodore C64 being chief among them with 27 Million units sold worldwide.
Speaking as a former Commodore Business Machines (CBM) engineer the real
surprise for us is the ongoing interest and devotion to an era typified by
lumbering 8 bit machines and a color palette consisting of 16 colors. Come to
think about it, that’s the description of Minecraft!

Jump forward to today and it’s a generation later. We find that the number of
working units is diminishing as age and the laws of entropy and physics take
their toll.

Enter the Commodore Pi[1], an emulated Commodore 64[3] operating system for
the Raspberry Pi. The goals of the project include an HDMI and composite
compatible video output, SID based sound, Sprites and other notable Commodore
features. They also plan to have hooks for more modern technology to include
Ethernet, GPIO and expansion RAM.

A video demo of the emulator can be found below. If you’re just warming up to
the Commodore[4] world, you’ll definitely want to know the real story behind
the C128[5].

Thanks to [Terry Fisher[6]], head of PCB development at Commodore Business
Machines [4]for the lead.

FYI there are good newsgroups for both those systems:

  comp.sys.cbm
  comp.sys.raspberry-pi

Thanks!  I didn't know about c.s.cbm, and wasn't willing to also post
to c.s.r-p as I prefer posting to no more than two groups at a time.

Would the universe collapse into a singularity if I had this emulator
running on a Raspberry Pi running in an Apple II through one of these?

https://ultimateapple2.com/

After all, it'd be an Apple II emulating a Commodore 64...kinda sorta.
Let the flamewars recommence! :-)

Hows the SID emulation? Hows the Graphics? You could give some of my Aztec 
C65 Programs for the Commodore 64 a try?

Just go to my C64 website at http://www.c64classics.ca

SID Demos
Download: http://www.c64classics.ca/sidd64.zip
Graphics Demos
Download: http://www.c64classics.ca/graphicsd64.zip

They were cross-compiled using an MS-DOS cross-compiler from circa 1984 
running on native mode windows xp. The universe would collapse if OSX ran a 
native mode Apple II DOS 3.3 compiler without an emulator...

There's 2 more flames for your Raspberry Bushfire:)

I have no idea...haven't tried it out on a RPi, in or out of an Apple II. I
just thought that one 8-bit machine rigged up (after a fashion) to run
software for another 8-bit machine would be the computing equivalent of
crossing the streams:

The universe will collapse if you run a C64 emulator on an Apple II
emulator on a C64 emulator on an Apple II emulator on a C64 emulator on
an Apple II emulator on a ... at one billion levels of recursion.
Unfortunately it would be running *SO* slow that it would take
600quadrabazillion centuries for it to cause the singularity to occur.

How long is that in SI units?

A quadrabazillion is an SI unit, but you'll need "a few" more fingers
and toes to count that high.  ;-)

Do a Google search ... you'll find "quadrabazillion" is used all over
the place.  :-)

Hey, thanks for the tip!  I spent a couple of days reading
 comp.sys.cbm and am hugely impressed.  There's even a guy who's
 got a BBS running on a working C64.  I'm going to try connecting
 to it when I get back home to a machine with a modem and a
 telephone line.  That's too cool to resist trying
 out.
