I still love the original the SID chip in the commodore can't be replaced by a a pc i've tried :(
I just use a old MP3 player with a broken tape deck and use that had to hack it together but it works and holds alot of games.
Games have to be in WAV format otherwise it won't work as with mp3's it cuts out some of the sounds so of course that means missing data.
Might have to wait for a while on the old system which I hate but it still way better than the emulation for sound and video altho it's getting harder to keep these old systems running :(

Nah, not C64s. I have 3 of them and one of them happens to be the one I used when I was 8 years old and I have never had an issue with any of them. The PSUs were always the things to go if anything and the key is to not leave them plugged in and only plug them in when you are using them. Thats how you make that PSU last.
I agree though, I would rather use a real C64 than emulate one any day. Get yourself an Ultimate 1541-II flash cart so you don't have to have all them floppies laying around and all is good.

QFT. I still have mine from when I was like 7 or 8 (1984). The only thing wrong was it was the SID chip, so I did a little swaparoo with another C-64 (the C model) I got at a garage sale, sold that one "as-is" on eBay and the original is working like a charm.
However, when I first got it, we did have to exchange the 1541 like 5 times (not an exaggeration). There were a lot of problems with the initial shipments of these computers...

I still have 5 (C-64) with 1541 drives and FD-2000.
That Ultimate 1541-II flash cart looks good. Dunno if I should get one :P
Still have my HACK games that was use in a CAB.
ex: in MsPacman, it says originally hit "F1" for play, I change it using a HEX editor (forgot the name, I think it was Renegade, or was it Warp Speed) to say, Hit "Player one Button to Play".
I did some games, but then it got tiring and killing lots of time. I dunno/forgto how many I did.
I made a CAB out of DK cab and shove in the gutted C-64 and wired up the keyboard (hack it) to the controls. This was all done before MAME was even born.
