Provides 80-column text over HDMI from a Raspberry Pi Pico card installed in a 1090XL-family expansion system.

The page reported three cards in stock on 2026-07-27. A 1090XL or 1091XL base system and a separate HDMI display are required. Enabling the card disables normal video output; holding Shift while booting disables the card. Each installed expansion card needs its own jumper-selected device ID.

Converts the digital video expansion signals from an Apple IIc-family computer or Laser 128 to an HDMI-compatible output.

JCM showed 10 assembled units in stock on 2026-07-24. The product uses an HDMI-compatible connector, but the source does not claim audio output or universal display compatibility. Power down before attaching or removing vintage-computer video adapters.

Generates digital video from Apple II display memory through an HDMI-compatible connector.

JCM showed 22 v2.0 cards and 20 v4.4 cards in stock on 2026-07-24. On an Apple IIgs, A2DVI displays only legacy Apple II modes; 320- and 640-pixel Super Hi-Res applications do not appear on its output. A v4.4 card runs only one selected firmware function at a time.

Combines 480p HDMI output, Apple II and Mockingboard audio, and several video expansions on one FPGA-based card.

Human review confirmed that the vendor product page offered a current ordering path on 2026-07-15.

Combines a 14 MHz 65816 accelerator, 14 MB memory expansion, HDMI output, RAM disk, and SD-backed drives for the Apple IIgs.

The regular AppleSqueezer GS v2 listing was out of stock on 2026-07-24. A separate preorder tile remained visible, but an active preorder order path was not verified; check the shop or mailing list for another production run.

Packages a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and RP2040 keyboard interface into an original C64 or C64C case as a low-latency BMC64 system.

Current shortboard and longboard v4.0 files and an easier-to-assemble v4.0.1A variant were available on 2026-07-27. No assembled seller was verified. A complete build needs both PCBs, components, assembly, a Raspberry Pi 3B+, Waveshare RP2040-Zero, microSD card, original C64 or Mechboard64 keyboard, suitable case, and power. BMC64 itself is not compatible with Raspberry Pi 4B or 5.

Recreates a C64 as a complete FPGA-based keyboard computer with original peripheral interfaces plus HDMI, USB, microSD, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi.

On 2026-07-27, the breadbin BASIC Beige model exposed a Buy Now path and regional stock, while the slimline Commodore 64C Ultimate was a paid preorder scheduled for factory dispatch on September 15, 2026. The internal microSD card is sold separately. The externally accessible user port requires a separate adapter. Commodore warns that Ultimate64 and C64 Ultimate hardware and firmware are diverging; unsupported firmware can leave a machine nonfunctional and resulting damage is outside free support, warranty service, and replacement.

Replaces a C64 RF modulator with FPGA-generated 1080p HDMI video and digitized stereo audio while retaining analog video.

Authorized seller Retro-Updates listed hardware version 0.2 at EUR 109.00 on 2026-07-27. Confirm the exact revision and production batch before ordering: the manual documents incorrect chroma resistors in the first version 0.2 production batch, an ineffective PLL-adjustment jumper on batches 1 and 2, and a transmitter issue that prevents HDMI audio on a small minority of displays.

Reimplements the Lisa 1 and Lisa 2/5 as an open FPGA system with HDMI, USB input, and SD-backed ProFile storage.

The complete JCM first production run was out of stock on 2026-07-24, with a notification form for a planned second run. The project provides source code and PCB files for DIY builds. A complete setup also needs suitable USB-C power, a microSD card, a 1080p HDMI display, and a supported keyboard and mouse. Onboard floppy emulation does not yet work. Optional original Twiggy-drive support requires the separate breakout and remains untested; JCM showed three breakout boards in stock.

Converts composite, S-Video, RGB, RGBI, and VGA-family retro signals to simultaneous digital and analog DVI-I output.

The European SCART and Japanese JP21 Revision B pages exposed login-or-register-to-buy paths on 2026-07-27. Never connect an EU SCART cable to the JP21 version: the seller says the different pinout can damage the device. The newest dated hardware announcement says units made since June 2025 have a larger OLED and USB-C power, but an older section still says Micro-USB. Human review found no package clarification, so confirm the connector, power requirement, and included USB items with the seller. A DVI-to-HDMI cable and source-system cables are sold separately. Medusa line-doubles when needed but does not change vertical refresh rate, so the destination display must accept the resulting 50 or 60 Hz signal and may blank briefly when the source changes resolution. Install only firmware matching the hardware revision.

Converts NTSC composite video and analog audio from an Apple II or Apple III to an HDMI display.

The adapter was in stock and backorderable for $45 on 2026-07-30. It was not tested or intended for PAL systems. Simultaneously connecting a CRT and this adapter requires a composite impedance-matched switch box or video may degrade or disappear. The package includes generic composite, HDMI, audio-adapter, and power cables, but not a computer-specific Commodore A/V cable.

Line-doubles standard-definition composite, S-Video, or component video for modern digital displays with no added latency.

The original RetroTINK-2X is a retired predecessor; the current 2X Pro was orderable for $139.99 on 2026-07-30. It accepts only 240p, 288p, 480i, and 576i and does not accept 480p or higher input. Supply the correct source-system cable, a digital video cable, and a 5 V / 1 A USB power source; a Micro-USB cable is included. RetroTINK warns that composite sources can produce low output and recommends S-Video or component when available.

Reinterprets the Atari 800XL with RISC and FPGA processors, original-style peripheral connections, HDMI, USB storage and controllers, SD storage, and USB-C power.

The maker still says the RM 800XL will be available very soon, but no order, reservation, shipping, or public build path was verified on 2026-07-27.

Adds a DE10-Nano Linux coprocessor, 1080p HDMI video, DMA, storage, networking, and a framebuffer overlay to a Commodore 64.

The project remains under construction and its current releases are alpha previews. Carrier Gerbers, a BOM, placement data, and preview releases are available, but a DE10-Nano or compatible MisterPi board and the supplied SD image are also required. Change the default Debian root password before connecting it to a network.

Adds scan-doubled HDMI and VGA output to supported compact Apple II systems through their video expansion port.

Human review confirmed on 2026-07-24 that the normal product page blocks cart addition because Tangy Pack is out of stock. The earlier catalog URL response was not a usable ordering path.

Replaces a Commodore 64 motherboard with an FPGA-based board offering modern video, storage, networking, and emulated peripheral functions.

The official store still listed the Ultimate64 Elite-II out of stock on 2026-07-27. Its home page says the black short-board run is sold out and Commodore has taken over sales of its version of the board. Check both current vendors rather than assuming another 1541 Ultimate batch.

Adds HDMI video output and Apple IIgs-derived display modes to Apple II slot computers.

The product page supplies the current manual, firmware, support email, and an instruction to email BitPair LLC to check board availability. It does not expose current stock or a direct order path, so availability remains unknown.

Adds an 80-column text display to Atari 8-bit computers, with composite output and an optional HDMI conversion path.

The Brewing Academy collection marked XEP80-II sold out on 2026-07-24 even though its product description still called the units build-to-order. The listed DIY option supplies a bare main board with a tested NS405; assembled and cased options were also described. A separate listing offers programmed OS and character EEPROMs for DIY builders. The HDMI converter needs separate Micro-USB power. Unlike Atari's original XEP80, XEP80-II has no parallel printer port.
