Seeing as there's only like 12K RAM left over, looks like it definitely would need RAM expansion to be useful.
Yes, and they you need to implement memory bank switching and other shit. Now if this was done when the C64 was hot it could have changed things a lot.
So I made awhile back... It has both REU type RAM and GEORam.
Oh yeah, FPGAs are great. So many cool FPGA retro systems out there. I build a MiSTer FPGA a few years ago and it covers all my retro system needs nicely.
I haven't even tried any of the other cores, I've just been using it on my breadbox C64 for the RAM, acceleration, monitor, disk drive emulator, etc.. This thing does a helluva lot of shit, I love it.
Same people also make an ethernet adapter that plugs into cartridge port. I bought one of those a long time ago, too. Turns out that the ethernet board plugs into the Turbo Chameleon board as a daughterboard, and it all fits into the cartridge. Didn't realize that until I seen a video sometime later, and remembered I already had one of those ethernet boards laying around somewhere.
