Shredz64 is very real and very shredding

Remember that time when we told you about Shredz64 and we were all excited and stuff? Well, friend, sometimes dreams do come true, and Toni ended up completing his Shredz64 project in style. In case you need a refresher, Shredz64 is all about bringing a Guitar Hero-style experience to the Commodore 64 -- which, in addition to holding much sentimental value, is quite the musical device in its own right. He has a custom-built "PSX64" interface for plugging his PS2 Guitar Hero guitar into the C64, which he's having produced for sale alongside a 5 1/4-inch floppy disk of Shredz64, but the real magic is the software itself. The C64-synthesized songs sound great, and interface is like Guitar Hero or Rock Band without all the annoying fluff. Check out the videos after the break for everything in action.

I dunno if I feel sorry fro this guy for living in the past that long? But still, an amazing accomplishment.... non the less. If I had my old SEGA Megadrive I'd buy the chip thing so I can play using my PS2 controller!

To Quote Toni
"Well, I absolutely love my Commodore 64, it has a lot of meaning and memories for me, and I love doing fun things with it "
That is not living in the past, that is just someone who appreciates the very first computer he got when he was 3 years old, He saw it he fell inlove with it, and even though it belonged to his dad, it was soon his forever! So don't feel sorry for him.
This guy is centuries ahead of most people, he has memories of his past, and has fun with it, lives in the present, and always has his eye on the future.

Love the Koala Pad on top... That thing is what made me become a designer.

Nicely done, got a A800 port? ;) I know I know, our synth chip isn't as nice. Sheesh, cocky Commodore users.

What song is that on the second video?

OK, he's geeky cool and all, but could he have gone out of his way to make the video any more annoying to view?
