The keyboard overlay could have been better implemented- only essential keys on it and been bigger. Most emulators don't have it shoved to the side. Also swap out the crappy joystick, with a gamepad.

I bought one years ago and immediately started tearing it down, added new ports, keyboard, mouse, extra storage, etc. and then re-cased it with LED indicator and reset/power button moved to the front of the new case. I’m currently looking at a rebuild that will improve on the initial layout, switching all the corded stuff to wireless, and going into the firmware to add sideloaded games directly to the "carrousel" and making the other modes so it can easily run Geos and implementing the virtual REU options. One odd thing is I'll be adding additional weight in the case to keep it from sliding around so much. Yes, all rather silly since I can just emulate it in a modern PC with VICE but I’m retired at 64 and other than golfing/mowing the lawn I need something to putter around with.

@TheRetroDandy 6 ай бұрын

@SirMo 4 ай бұрын
It absolutely is! And you can't beat the price. For about $40 the whole thing is cheaper than a modern game for a PC or console. And you get potentially countless hours of entertainment. The crazy thing is the new games seem to be on the rise in the last decade. C64 (and ZX Spectrum) are going through a bit of a renaissance. And the newly released games are quite good too.

I actually just grabbed a loose one of these today for $30 Canadian from a 2nd hand store (no cables but did have the controller). I've been intrigued by them since it was first announced but seemed a little pricy at launch, but for what I paid it was worth playing. I'm sure I can get most that back if I loose interest

Having been there the 1st time around (true 80s teenager) I'm intrigued... mainly because my ZX Spectrum, C64, C128, Amiga 500, and Amiga 1000 are in a basement in another country. ;) Just having Paradroid would make it quite worthwhile. Did you review the US or EU version? (There seem to be differences in which games are preinstalled.) But the bad controller is a let-down. (Even though I've read somewhere that the controller is supposed to be with micro switches.) Regards.

Six out of ten is a fair score: for the vast majority of people, _even if_ you spend a ton of time and money improving the controls and loading software onto an S.D. card, _this thing will nevertheless just gather dust,_ and you'll get dismally little use out of it. As bad as the joystick included with the system may be, the more expensive microswitch joystick (made by the same company and sold as an upgrade) _is even worse._

You can use a PS4 controller or even better a Fight Stick. I use a Mayflash. Hook the USB Joystick to the Mayflash and you should be able to map the buttons. I tried to type in a program with USB keyboard but certain required Commadore key commands to program are not possible with a non Commadore key board. Favorite games on the Mini would be Temple of Apshi, Sword of Fargoal. I wish they would have made it possible to play games or ROMs with "multiple disks" I haven't figured it out.
