Retrofitting a Raspberry Pi3 into the C64 Mini

  twistedtxb

   So I love the design of the C64 Mini so much that I plan on buying one,
   removing the guts and putting a RPi3 inside instead.

   Is the case large enough to fit one inside?

   [2]twistedtxb Just wanted to share a possible alternative. Since the
   backend of their system is linux, it very well might be possible to create
   your own linux system with your own emulators on this device.

   I can't say this with any certainty as yet, just speculating and it's
   something I'm hoping to try explore at some later stage, in the hope of
   getting a vic20 emulator running on this device. I'd like to arrange that
   ecosystem to boot an alternate linux off the usb stick, so that my
   ecosystem won't taint the c64 team's existing one in any way.

   Is that actually possible? I don't know for sure, but from my initial
   studies, it feels like a 'maybe' :-)

   Maybe other more enthusiastic vic20 ppl will beat me to it, I actually
   hope they do, so that will make my life easy and I can just copy their
   steps :-D

   I never owned a vic20, or a c128, so I'm hoping when the full-sized
   keyboard version of thec64 comes out later, this could be a wonderful way
   for me to experience what those systems felt like, typing away on a proper
   petscii keyboard and all :-)

   Not really the place to be asking that mate,if you think about it im sure
   the devs wouldn't like all that talk

   Why is that? If it fits, I'm buying a C64 Mini. Win-Win.
