  Commodore 64 BMC64 Raspberry Pi Interface with GPIO Cable The BMC64 project utilises a Raspberry Pi to emulate a Commodore 64 and interfaces with original Commodore 64 hardware including the keyboard and joysticks. This interface allows you to use your existing breadbin or slimline case, keyboard, and joysticks with the BMC64 software, providing a modernised version of the classic computer. The BMC64 software itself is based on the VICE emulator, offering low latency and high compatibility. Includes BMC64 interface with GPIO cable and rubber feet.
