I used to burn new EPROMs for the C-64 and VIC-20 motherboards and use them for controllers for automated systems (like radio station electronics and retail store HVAC systems) and home automation controllers. It turns out that at that time you could do more with the I/O chips than dedicated PLC's, and the on-board "Sprite" chip offered better video overlay effects for both radio studio displays and for electronic classroom work. New cases that securely mounted the motherboards and connectors that interfaced the edge connectors was all you needed. These boards did their own keyboard scanning, which could be easily be used by control buttons for video editing, radio device buttons (remote play-record-ff-rewind-pause for tape decks, start/stop for turntables and cart machines, electronic patch panel controls and more) and home lighting control buttons.
I used to know someone recently that had a C-64 emulator running in Linux, and he used to copy the cartridge ROM's byte-for-byte and run them on the emulator. He also could handle some C-128 code as well (a dual processor version with a 6800 series and a Z-80 on board).
