This reply is just so I can brag about seeing this trio play to a crowd of about 75 people in a tiny former church in Toronto last year:

If it helps, I'm pretty sure you're too smart to get accepted as a cop

Switching from a Bloomberg Terminal Keyboard to an iPhone keyboard is, like, really hard.

They all use them to get away with things, they think they're safer with gmail than with their proper work email addresses.

Getting my brand new X-Ice set installed this week -- made in Canada is just icing on the cake.

For some value of "good," yes, there's an okay front-end with them.

The C64DTV has the best front-end for its selection of games, but I can't add ROMs. The Ayaneo and Ambernic front-ends are luxurious in comparison to the cheap HDMI sticks.

Personally, I'd just get something like the GameSir X2 or X5 and run the C64 emulator on my Android phone.

Alternatively, both Ayaneo and Ambernic are making some exceptional devices these days that'll play C64 game ROMs

A cheaper option is something like www.amazon.ca/emulator/dp/... - I bought a similar unit for my condo's games room a year ago, it came with hundreds of C64 games on the SD card and you can add your own C64 ROMs

There is another, the C64DTV, which I have and is cheaper on the used market, and it's a real C64 and not an emulator.
