Ultimate C64 Mouse Setup: Adapters, Emulation & GEOS Speedrun!

Are you ready to use a real-deal, old-school mechanical mouse on your Commodore 64? I thought you might be! In this video, we're taking a look at a fantastic PS2-to-C64 mouse adapter that breathes new life into the Ultimate 64 setup. If you've ever wondered what it's like to navigate GUI 64, click around the Final Cartridge III desktop, or speed through GEOS with an actual pointer, this is for you. We also dive into testing a surprisingly decent library of mouse-compatible C64 games, from Arkanoid to Lemmings. Plus, we'll uncover the legendary joystick emulation trick that lets you play standard games with a mouse, and I'll show off a quick custom case I whipped up on the Bambu Lab P1S to keep the adapter protected. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more retro madness. The big gaming segments are coming up soon, so stay tuned!
