Been using this stack for for my latest game. Works really well however I am desperately short of character space and the sprite rendering is corrupting my display.

Re: The new C64x

It would be more impressive if it wasn't just a PC. e.g. if it included a real C64 implemented using an FPGA or similar and with 9 pin joystick & maybe even a cartridge port, but with video & sound output via HDMI . http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_C64.aspx It's back... and better than ever!...

Is Mega-cart effectively out of production?
