Although its more powerful than the original.
Thanks for the update. Last time I looked at it was about ~2 yrs ago. But the price is 800 EUR

I wish they had just an FPGA board, like ZX-Uno, in some cheapo case, at minimum price - though I wonder how expensive that particular FPGA is - probably 200-ish these days....

The 40 MHz 4502 sounds pretty intriguing from developer's perspective, though I wonder what kind of sentiment C64 community has towards it - is it pure vitriol-fueled hatred like towards Vampire in the Amiga land ("That's not C-64, it's an abomination!"?

Its like the NEC Supergraphics that was supposed to replace the PC Engine.. It got, what… 5 games? ;-)
A year before A600 ? That's too late even for the "what-if" standards of this board
The NEC would most likely beat this at the games library count
