This computer sounds wonderful!


Wow!  I really hope this works out!  This would be so much fun to program!  I hope we're able to buy Fractic's case design.  Those look cool!

Wishing you the best!

$0 = Zero Page = Banking - Thank You!

Just finished catching up on all the videos related to this project. I'm still confused about the Sound issue.  I really loved the "Beverly Hills Cop" sample so was looking forward to that.  Not sure if that's happening since I didn't catch a demo of the quality of the Vera Sound. But one thing I r...

FAQ Request - Will the X16 be "upgradable" to newer phases?


Well, sounds like this project will be about what I thought it would be.  Quite honestly, $50 is way too low for what this system does (if you're an 8-bit enthusiast).

FAQ Request - Financial Support of the X16


Oh, good.  I read the FAQ, my eyes obviously didn't though.

6502 RISC instruction set running at 3.4ghz..

Could you imagine a processor running the 6502 (or similar) instruction set at 3.4ghz or any other modern CPU speed? I can't help but wonder if that wouldn't just run circles around Intel and AMD processors. I could be wrong.  But it sure is fun to think about (especially multi-core) <span><span cl...

FAQ Request - Will the X16 be "upgradable" to newer phases?

I would like to jump on the X16 as soon as it becomes available.  The only caveat would be as you release better ROMs and such, will I be able to upgrade the one I have?  I personally don't mind paying for the upgrade, as long as it's upgradable. If I can't upgrade it, then I would opt to hang back...

FAQ Request - Financial Support of the X16


I wanted to know why there's no way to financially support the X16, like Indigogo or something like that.
