The J-CPU64 has arrived!

• The long awaited MOS/CSG 6510/8500 CPU replacement is here! Jani’s second major hardware product after the very successful J-CIA64 comes in the form of the J-CPU64.
• Limited first batch stock, all pre-orders will be fulfilled first starting shipping from May 16th onwards.

Description and features:

• FPGA based replacement for MOS/CSG 6510 & 8500 CPU chips.
• Lower power requirements, less heat! Actually; not discernible heat at all.
• Complete logic and all features of the original IC implemented, including illegal opcodes for maximum compatibility with all your favorite games and demos.
• All diagnostic & software tests passed 100%, including all tests in Wolfgang Lorenz’s test suite and Vice-project’s CPU-tests.
• Hundreds of demos and games already tested, with no known compatibility issues in tons of different configurations.
• Physically about the same size as the original CPU and drops right in place of the original chip without any board modifications or soldering required.
• Tested with all C64 mainboard revisions, SX-64 and with modern clones like the EVO64, Blue Pearl and the iComp’s Reloaded MKII.
• Tested with modern chip replacements like the VIC-II Kawari, PLA replacements like PLAnkton, NeatPLA etc, and of course J-CIA.
• Load of peripheral hardware tested and found to be compatible including (but not limited to) different types of floppy drives, fast loaders, Ultimate-II+, SD2IEC, TapeCart, Kung-Fu Flash, EasyFlash, Tapuino and more.
• Specially designed clock out signal circuitry (PHI2) for super strong and stable clock signals, with sharp rising and falling signal edges ensuring maximum stability and compatibility.
