    I've had the mini and maxi. I was having some issues with the mini not booting after firmware updates using the C64 maxi tool, which worked flawlessly on the maxi, a great product. Maybe I had a dodgy unit. I'd like to try again with the mini, but it's not a patch on the maxi tbhonest. I used the Amiga mini joypad on both the mini and maxi without fuss. Not great for diagonals on Barbarian and Fist. Both models had limited joypad compatibilities, unlike the Amiga. With the upcoming Spectrum, November 2024, I hope joypad compatibility is much improved. It's definitely worth upgrading the carousel to your own games list. That's a must for me, as there's so many modern homebrews, including Sonic C64!

    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.

      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.

      Nope. I find the C64 to be the worst aging machine out there. I've a C64, C64c and C128, and they all look mint, but annoy me as heck. None of them is a fun system to boot and make a project on. To play games, like I did at my classmate in 1985? Not suitable either. I find my NES, PC Engine and Mac way more fun for games. Try Mac Prince of Persia vs C64 PoP. Not even fair. PC Engine shmups are out of this world, and the 6 channel wavetables eats shitty SID bubbles for breakfast. I think even the NES sounds better than SID. I also have a CPC and a P2000T, both Z80 machines with awesome basic, and they demand tinkering, doing experiment, run LEGO robots, do old BBS connections, all super easy and super fun. With the shugart floppy they also work very fast, loading a program in like 3 seconds, the machines have very easy ports to make new hardware and the RGB video output (40/80 character) on a SCART TV is excellent.

    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).

    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.

    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.
