Imagesource: https://youtu.be/jyaFMxvdWh8

Can you use a C64 to listen to FM radio? Certainly not with onboard hardware, the resources of the machine are a bit too limited for SDR. But with a little additional hardware this project of dreams can be realized.

ChinnyVision has tested exactly this piece of hardware, ran a camera and uploaded the colorful pixels in the form of a h.264 stream to our favorite, trusted video platform.

Fancy this little experiment? Then the video will certainly whet your appetite.
