A friend of mine gave me this VDI client, a RX-HDX from Ncomputing.
He had no use for it anymore. I'm not in need of a VDI client either but it's powered by a Raspberry Pi 3. And already in a neat little case, we should put this to good use. Having a C64 "on the go", with modern capabilities to hook up anywhere, seems like a good way to spread the Gospel of this wonderful 8-bit machine. Especially to younger people, I suppose.

I opened it up, reformatted the SD card, installed BMC64, crap load of games, slapped a crude logo on it and gave it back to my friend. No need for a VDI client, he said. But there's ALWAYS a need for C64's! =) In my world, anyway. Plus, now we can play C64 games at his place too. Win-win!

This is not a "how-to" video, just a pocket C64 in a nifty case which I found quite nice. I have not fiddled around that much with Raspberry Pi's but, with the easy setup of this one, I can totally see myself building one of these into a real C64 case. Just for the heck of it!

The moral of the story: Anything based on a Raspberry Pi is worth saving. Even the older models. Especially if you are into retro gaming. My 2 cents.

First tune playing in the video is one of my own C64 SID tunes. The second one is from The Last Ninja, Level 1 (C64, 1987) by Ben Daglish and Anthony Lees, since that was the first game I booted trying this thing out.
