EVO64: The Legend, Evolved!
EVO64 is a completely reimagined and fully backward-compatible Commodore 64 mainboard replacement
EVO64 was developed out of the interest to combine many of the best features that have become available for the Commodore 64, into a sleek and fully integrated system.EVO64 is made using modern manufacturing processes, but care has been taken to ensure that it remains completely true to the original system’s heritage and architecture.
- It has been developed with the goal to deliver the best possible Audio and Video experience from the original Commodore 64 reference architecture (check out the YouTube videos below)
- It’s fully authentic and completely faithful to the original system’s heritage, supporting all of the original MOS & CSG chip versions, as well as modern clones (e.g., tested with J-CIA64, J-CPU64, ARMSID, ARM2SID, SIDKick Pico, FPGASID, SwinSID, BackSID, Kawari VIC-II replacement, Monotech CPU adapters, and may others)
