Full-size recreation of the Commodore 64 with a working keyboard, 64 built-in games, HDMI output and BASIC mode for classic home-computer use.
Inside sits an Allwinner A20 with two ARM Cortex-A7 cores, running a custom Linux system with a VICE-based C64 emulator. The setup is dedicated entirely to the Commodore 64 experience, so this is not a multi-system emulation box but a faithful, focused reproduction of a single machine. The 64 built-in games are stored on internal flash memory and are ready to play right after power-on.
There is no built-in screen: video is sent through the HDMI output to a TV or monitor, which makes it a natural fit for the living room and for big-screen play sessions.
The highlight is the working full-size keyboard, which recreates the feel of typing on a real C64. It matters most in BASIC mode, where you can write and run programs just like in the '80s, as well as in titles that rely on keyboard input.
As a home console, the C64 Maxi has no battery and is powered via its micro-USB port. Connectivity covers the HDMI output and two USB ports for peripherals, enough for a simple desk or living-room setup.
The custom Linux system and VICE-based emulator provide a solid foundation for C64 software compatibility, while BASIC mode opens the door to programming and experimentation beyond the preinstalled games.
Ideal for: Commodore 64 fans who want the complete experience with a real keyboard, collectors of mini/classic consoles, and anyone looking to rediscover BASIC programming on a modern TV via HDMI.
