Retro RGB’s Ken Dives Into the C64 Ultimate — And It’s a Whole Ride!

Ken from What’s Ken Making just dropped his signature deep-dive review of the Commodore 64 Ultimate, and let’s just say: if you’ve ever dreamed of a C64 that just works in 2025 (with HDMI, SD card support, and modern conveniences), this FPGA-powered beast might be your holy grail.

What makes the C64 Ultimate special? It’s not just a nostalgia trip — it’s an FPGA recreation of the classic C64 architecture, rebuilt with modern upgrades:

  • Real-time video scaling to fit modern displays
  • Built-in disk image support (no more dusty floppies!)
  • USB keyboard/mouse, Ethernet, and even Wi-Fi
  • A real-time debugger for developers (yes, really)

Ken got hands-on with the unit and even chatted with both original and current Commodore team members — a rare glimpse into how the project bridges retro passion with modern tech. His teardown reveals thoughtful engineering: clean internal layout, quality components, and that unmistakable “it just works” vibe.

If you love the C64 but hate its limitations, this is the upgrade you didn’t know you needed.
