Current FPGA replacement for MOS 6510 and 8500 processors, including the documented instruction set and cycle behavior.

The official project page links three current retail channels, and AmericanRetro exposed a direct Buy Now route on 2026-07-30. The retailer describes a same-size, no-soldering drop-in replacement; that assumes the original CPU is already socketed. A soldered CPU still requires proper desoldering and a suitable socket.

Tested period 6510 and 8500 processors for repairing a Commodore 64 with an original CPU.

Retroleum listed several tested 6510 and 8500 variants with stock on 2026-07-30, but the store was temporarily closed until approximately the beginning of August. These are finite harvested period parts. Confirm that ordering has resumed, whether the selected chip was socket-pulled or desoldered, its pin condition, and the return terms.

Combines a C64 accelerator, VGA output, REU and GeoRAM memory, SD storage, dual 1541 emulation, input adapters, and cartridge emulation in one FPGA cartridge.

Individual Computers listed Turbo Chameleon V2 out of stock at EUR 235.44 on 2026-07-27. The official firmware remains in beta, with current releases and known bugs maintained in the product wiki. A CR1220 battery, networking card, docking station, cables, power supply, keyboard, and monitor are not included unless separately stated.
