The VIC-II Kawari Project from Randy Rossi is a modern FPGA based replacement for the C64. It completely replaces the original chip but offers near perfect compatibility but additional capabilities like HDMI output and 80 column text.
Dev Board: Mojo V3
I tested Kawari to work with:
- Turbo Chameleon 64
- PLAnkton
- PLAdvanced+
- GAL-PLA
- Stock PLA
- EasyFlash 3
- Russian PLA
- Longboards and Shortboards
- PAL and NTSC motherboards
