    Ashens' editing mistake where he sits there in complete silence for 15 full seconds is fucking hilarious to me. I know he wanted to cut that out because he accidentally bumped the camera, but holy shit I laughed pretty hard at that.

      _me-ta-_ DirectX and DirectInput are not the same thing. One’s a graphics API and the other, hence the name, is an input API.

    • @_me-ta-_3780
      @_me-ta-_3780 6 років тому

      Yes obviously I'm aware that they're not exactly the same thing. They are both, however, proprietary Microsoft technologies that has nothing to do with the Playstation controllers or the Linux-running C64 mini. You're mixing up software APIs for a specific OS with hardware, which doesn't care about these APIs. You can use Xbox controllers on Linux with absolutely no Xinput in sight.

It provided stats that could be printed out on the Commodore printer after the game. Those were two enjoyable games that I haven't been able to play for 35 years. I NEED to find them!

    If they can sort out the issues, especially with loading other games and include a better selection with it, I would love to see an Amiga Mini. The 500 or 1200 would be fine and as Cloanto already do the emulation software I'm hoping that it's on it's way.
    Having said that, a Speccy Mini would be great too.

    I was about seven when i got my Commodore 64.
    It had loads of good games. Lemmings, Zaxxon, Robocop and Maniac Mansion to name a few.
    There was one i can't remember the name of though, on one side of the tape you played as a witch flying a broom and had to land in a clearing in the trees next to your house (an awkward manoeuvre), the other side of the tape you played as a pumpkin bouncing on platforms.
    I also remember writing loads of text in Basic for a hot air balloon to swipe diagonally across my screen, i most likely copied the text from the manual or something.
    Your channel is one of the few UA-cam channels my girlfriend enjoys watching with me, thank you and keep up the good work.

    Actually; they could totally have made a fully functional keyboard and could've added a mini "tapedeck" SDcard reader; one that would've allowed for multiple roms to be stored and loaded from a single folder. And while at it a micro usb charger modelled after the C=64 powerbrick. And maybe even a detailed bottomplate? Or is that too much to ask for 80 somewhat bucks? As is: MEH.

    No offence, Ashens, but watching you simply go over the list on the back of the box was so dead boring I skipped over half of it. A bit of gameplay footage or even screenshots would have made that much more enjoyable. If going over all of them that way would be too much (which it probably would be) maybe just talk about some of the best and worst in your opinion instead of going over every one?

      If you want to pretend that all the different versions of the Raspberry Pi are one computer, then it'd be a close fight between it and the C64.
      ...but that's utter nonsense.
      No one really knows how many C64 were sold, but it's probably between 12.5 and 22 million.
      All combined they've sold 19 million Raspberry Pi's across the 9(?) different versions.
      One of the versions of the Pi almost certainly legitimately holds the "Best selling British computer" title....but it's difficult to tell which one, as they seemingly only give out the total sales number.

    I remember "back 2 skool" or "skool daze" being re-wrirren for the PC by a friend of mine in the I.T. department, back when I was a technician at Halesowen college.
    It was a great remake by Richard Jordan.
    Top bloke, sold me my first PC in bits for a tenner, it was an Intel 486 SX50 that I overclocked to 66mhz.
    He gave me a drive full of Spectrum games on a 212mb IDE internal drive.
    At the time or had 2x 85mb drives.
    Being a Digital Venturis, there was no need for a fan or any cooling, just a shoddy aluminium heatsink.
