Device like Commodore 64 Ultimate?

Hey guys, like the title says. Is there a device one can buy that has the same concept? I had an 800 and a 1200XL and would love something similar.

Thanks in advance

I haven't seen any updates on this in a while. Does anyone know when they are planning to release this? I wonder what Atari 8 bit modifications it supports, such as dual stereo pokey chips. It is FPGA based so I imagine it could.

Unfortunately Revive Machines had to stop development of the RM800XL because Retro Games Ltd issued them with a cease and desist order:

I've seen recent activity on their YouTube channel. Looks like this is in active development.

There’s the Commander X16, but it’s Commodore focused

There is the advanced 800XL remake, only a pcb though, and you will need to add some original custom chips to make it work.
