But above all, the X16 is an 8-bit machine with 16-bit tendencies. As for '16' the original design was to use an 816 processor, however the machine still has a 16-bit address space. 'Commander 16' would be abbreviated to 'C16' and too easily confused with the Commodore 'C16', so when Perifractic proposed the always cool 'X' be added to make 'X16' it got the team's vote. Ultimately C64 compatibility is not the aim of this product. However, most C64 and other 8-Bit games should be easy to port to the X16 ecosystem if desired. While it might be nice, it would make this project considerably more complicated, expensive, and most likely it would never get finished.

were also distinct from the C64. There are also already several existing options for users looking for a C64 compatible machine with no need to add to that growing/crowded market. It is its own machine, just as the ZX Spectrum, Atari 800, etc.

High quality PCM audio playback from an 4 KB FIFO buffer featuring up to 48kHz 16-bit stereo sound.Īlthough it runs Commodore BASIC (itself based on Microsoft BASIC as many machines were) it was never intended to be an 'emulator' or compatible with the C64 or any other machine.
