Emulating a Commodore 64 with an ESP8266 and a crisp ePaper display #Commodore64 #Commodore #ESP8266 #ePaper @hacksterio

A C64 emulator on ePaper.

Via Jan Ostman at Hackster.io comes a nifty project: Emulating a Commodore 64 vintage computer using an ESP8266 board and an ePaper display.

The software is coded in Arduino and contains Mike Chambers’ 6502 software emulator running Commodore BASIC V2

So you say “Isn’t ePaper slow to update?”

Update rate on the display is 400 ms so it wont run many games but the sharpness of the display is exceptional.

See the video below and details & code on Hackster.io
