VirtualC64 v1.0 Beta 8 for Mac OSx

VirtualC64 emulates a Commodore 64 personal computer on your Macintosh. I wrote the software with two major goals in mind. First, I wanted to create an emulator that can be used as a demonstrator program in a first year or second year course on computer engineering.

To achieve this goal, I have integrated various debugging capabilities that let you peek inside the CPU, RAM, ROM, or one of the custom chips. Second, I tried to make the emulator as user friendly as it can get.

In short: VirtualC64 tries to combine the ongoing fascination of the ancient Commodore computers with the great user experience of today’s Macs.

Changelog:

Fixed in beta 8

  • Joystick handler has been rewritten from scratch. It’s now message based and supports hot plugging.
  • Fixed a race condition that could cause the emulator to crash during shutdown.
  • Fixed some minor GUI issues.
