It might not be a “first edition” but it’s definitely not a “knockoff”.
It literally runs on AMD 🤣
You know that an AMD FPGA is not the same thing as an AMD CPU right?
What are you on about? Did I mention CPU?
I guess I just don’t understand what it having an AMD chip has to do with anything. I just assumed you thought it was being emulated, my bad if it’s not the case.
It's not the original hardware. If someone makes a Gucci looking bag, but it's not made with the same materials as the original, would you insist it's not a Gucci knock off?
I would not, if the “someone” was Gucci itself, and the materials were only different in how they were made.
This is literally an official commodore product. There are original Commodore engineers involved with this latest iteration of the business. And when they put a 6510 core on the FPGA, that fpga has in a very physical sense become a bona fide 6510.
