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.

ACID 64 Player Pro is the sequal of Acid 64 Player and is a cycle based Commodore 64 music player designed for playing SID tunes on sound cards/devices that have a real SID chip (6581/6582/8580) on board like the HardSID cards and HardSID 4U USB device.

ACID 64 emulates the MOS 6510 micro processor, the 6526 CIA chip and partially the 6569 VIC chip to run the code of a SID tune and it controls the SID chip on the device for playing the Commodore 64 music.

What’s new in version v3.0.2:

Fixes

• No error anymore when last directory was a root folder.
• Corrected memory bank setting for PSID tunes.
• Resizing window was corrupting active row of search grids.
• Minimal width is now set correctly.

Improvements

• Last played file is remembered now when ACID 64 is started.
• When Folders tab is clicked, the current selected file will always be visible.
• Special characters Ø and ø can now be searched by o or oe (re-indexing required)
• Pressing escape in search boxes will now select the text instead of clearing the input.
• Selecting a search filter will change the color of the filter box.
• Copy filename strips HVSCRoot automatically.
• Seeking (dragging thumb) can now be cancelled by pressing escape key or by pressing right mouse button.
• Scrolling search results will now update rows immediately without releasing the thumb.
• Clicking on a folder name in Folders tab will expand the folder.
• Changed “Browse” tab name to “Folders”

Hoxs64 is a Commodore 64 emulator for Microsoft Windows 2K/XP/Vista.

The emulator substantially reproduces this legacy machine in minute detail.

Changelog:
13 August 2009 v1.0.5.27

• Added general option to enable/disable opposing joystick directions.
• Speed optimisation to the CPU, CIA and VIC. The emulation is noticeable faster on lines with no DMA fetches and no IRQs.
• Bug fix to the reverse keyboard matrix. Was broken for years!
• Accurate emulation of the $DD00 VIC bank switch bug.

Unless something is majorly broken, the next release will include the long awaited debugger. Work on the debugger is now in progress.

Hoxs64 is a Commodore 64 emulator for Microsoft Windows 2K/XP/Vista.

The emulator substantially reproduces this legacy machine in minute detail.

Changelog:
12 July 2009 v1.0.5.26

1) Bug fix to the FDI file format reader. Rapidlok game Serve and Volley now works. Many other FDI
captures now work.
2) New “Disk on Separate Thread” option added to the general settings page. Multi-core CPUs will provide
increased performance when the serial bus is idle.
3) 1541 drive fixes.
4) Numerous VIC mid raster line mode change fixes. A newly discovered edge triggered raster IRQ behaviour
is now implemented as seen on both old and new VIC chips.
5) Joystick fixed to prevent opposing directions from being simultaneously pressed.

64COPY is an all-purpose DOS and C64 emulator file manager, modelled after Norton Commander, and runs fine under the Windows XP/2000 DOS VDM, or in real DOS.

64COPY will run in a Windows Vista 32-bit VDM, but Vista 64-bit has no VDM support at all. It specializes in converting and manipulating emulator files between various formats. 64COPY does not do any communication to the 1541/71/81 floppy drives to read disks. If that is what you need, download Star Commander for that task.

Some of what 64COPY does includes:

• File conversion between D64 (all types, including the F64 variant), D71, D81, D80, D82, DNP, D2M, T64, G64, ZipCode (all types), PC64 (Pxx, Sxx, Uxx, Rxx), LNX, DOS binaries, ARC, CRT, SDA, X64, LBR, ARK, SPY and CPK files.
• A very powerful 6502 Disassembler.
• TEXT, HEX and D64 HEX editors.
• FILE viewer.
• BASIC unlister.
• D64, D71, D81, D80 & D82 directory customizer.
• Check disks and T64, ZipCode, G64, F64 and CRT files for errors.
• A whole lot more!

SCA – streamed char animation – is an animation (image sequence) with the dimension of 200×160 pixels, converted into the C64 charsets (25×20 chars).

One frame includes two multicolor charsets, the whole animation uses one static video and color RAM. SCA Converter utility (application) creates this kind of animation on Windows platforms.

GoatTracker is a cross-platform tracker written by Lasse Öörni, producing SID chiptune music for the Commodore 64, and released with source code under the GPL. It is notable for being possibly the only SID chiptune-composer NOT native to the C64, as many alternative composers (including JCH, and CyberTracker) only execute on the C64 or inside C64 emulators.

Many SID tunes are available in various formats on the Internet, especially through the High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC). GoatTracker is capable of directly exporting to the .sid (PSID/RSID) file format in addition to standard C64 PRG files.

This Mac OS X port of GoatTracker integrates the cross-platform code with a standard Mac OS X GUI, and adds additional features, such as MIDI keyboard support and comprehensive built-in help.

C64 VGE is small graphics editor in which You can make little sized pictures beacause of using lines and small amount of pixels to draw them.

It was used to made graphics for almost 4K intro “4K Wannabe” by Black Sun and now it’s released to public, maybe it’ll be usefull for someone other than me.

There are 3 example pictures from “4K Wannabe” supplied with editor for You to grasp the concept.
