very fun and if you like retro computers, this is the one! great job guys and hopefully more will come soon! thank you!
Top notch presentation. Masterfully done. Anyone that desires more in regards to presentation of software emulators should be very pleased. Maybe someday Steam Play/Proton will be updated to support this application. Being able to tap all the devices on Deck would be magnificent.
Si tienes algún problema con el juego, el soporte de Breadbox es muy bueno. Es amable, intenta darte una solución.
Empfehle diese Simulation allen die sich die originale Hardware nicht zulegen möchten. Wir bekommen die einzelnen Geräte gut gezeigt und es macht Spaß damit in der Simulation umzugehen. Auch die echten Geräusche wurden anhand der Hardware aufgenommen. Dem Original nach gut umgesetzt! Mehr zu der Simulation könnt ihr bei mir auf Youtube "8-BitFlo" euch ansehen. Wünsche allen damit viel Spaß Florian / 8-BitFlo
cool simulator/emulator very good. but i wish add VR
Bin begeistert von der Breadbox sitze täglich paar stunden dran und probiere spiele, Programme usw. Meine Kindheit wieder zu erleben mega.
Très bon simulateur des premiers Commodore qui va au delà de l’expérience offerte par les émulateurs. Certains diront que les émulateurs sont gratuits et que Breadbox n'est qu'un gadget rajouté dessus, mais en fait, Breadbox rajoute de l'immersion et permet de manipuler les périphériques d'origine. Ne connaissant pas ces Commodore et ne souhaitant pas acheter les vrais, je trouve Breadbox idéal dans mon cas. J'aimerais d'ailleurs bien qu'ils continuent le développement pour ajouter d'autre machines et leurs périphériques. En tout cas, à 3€ en promo, je pense qu'il n'y a pas à hésiter pour les amateurs de machines retro.
Broken on Deck/Linux/Proton, and there doesn't seem to be a resolution above 1080p. Going to leave a positive review because it's an admirable effort with no explicit Linux support, though it does look like there have been no new models added in year and a half this has been in early access, despite the store page's claims that this will cover various different retro machines.
very mice.. brings back far past memories... keep adding new machines! thxs!
An interesting way to emulate C64 (and others). Looking forward to future updates. What could be better is the dynamic reflection from the the display. Something like Mega Bezel, but also on keyboard. https://youtu.be/ucjPE1Wzc8c
