VirtualC64 emulates a Commodore 64 personal computer on your Intel Macintosh OSx > 10.6.

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.

Bug fixes and enhancements:

• New screen geometry. New values reflect width, height, and aspect ratio of a real PAL or NTSC machine.
• Added controls for shifting and zooming screen borders.
• Improved drag’n'drop. Thumbnail images can now be dragged from one emulator window to another.
• Added finder icons for all supported document types.
• D64, T64, PRG, and P00 files can now be opened via the open file dialog (Open menu)
• New background texture and startup animation.

• T64, PRG, and P00 files can now be mounted as virtual disk
• Restructured and refactored all Objective-C classes
• Fixed a bug that caused unallocated memory to be freed

Note: The version numbering scheme is changed to comply with the update framework.

Hoxs64 written by David Horrocks is a Commodore 64 emulator for Microsoft Windows 2K/XP/Vista/Seven (DirectX 9)

The emulator substantially reproduces this legacy machine in minute detail.

Changelog:

• Fixes to the key matrix.
• Fixed Time Of Day alarm fail to trigger bug that was introduced in v1.0.5.27 that may cause the game Hypersports to get stuck on the clay shooting part.
• Audio resample mode is now on when restoring default settings.
• Adjusted all VIC $D011 and $D016 mode change transitions to give pixel exact output.
• Improved keyboard matrix emulation. Space bar now works correctly in the Nitro 16 demo.
• Adjusted VIC light-pen timing.
• Adjusted CIA6526A IRQ timing.
• Common code base now supports both x86 and x64 compiles.  (x64 bit version is tested on Windows 7 with full DirectX install).
• Added WinXP styles that use common control library 6.
• Adjusted audio sync.

From the Yape homepage:

Exactly 10 years has passed since the first public alpha (or rather: WIP) of Yape saw the light of day. It is just as unbelievable as it can get… sheesh.

It started off as an attempt at a more intelligent disassembler when I realized how much fun it really is to learn the hardware AND C++ programming at the same time while dealing with my all time favourite hobby.

I thought this anniversary would be also a nice opportunity to abandon the rather clumsy versioning I have been following in the past. Anyway I have not got much time to make a long rant here, so you will be spared :-)

v1.0 compared to v0.86 are as follows:

• 32-bit and automatic bitdepth option in fullscreen mode (8 bit full screen mode might be slow under newer Windoze’s)
• Copy & paste to/from the clipboard now respects upper/lower case mode.
• Partially implemented 48 bps mode of the T6721A speech LSI.
• G64 image support is no longer read only (yay, at last)
• Reading from open address space.
• Plenty of bugfixes (drive, TED, autostart, monitor etc.)

From the Yape homepage:

Now the summer hiatus is over, a small update to Yape is ready. Mainly tape related fixes/features but let us not forget the simple external assembler that is now added to the monitor and is available via the A (or .) command, just like for the good ole TEDMON.

It could still be improved but for now it’ll suffice I guess. It also supports illegal opcodes, of course.

But here’s the full log of what’s been changed:

• Implemented a simple assembler in the external monitor (yay, at last!)
• Tape head adjust dialog for wave samples.
• Optionally invert tape sample input signal (soundcards may invert the phase while recording WAV’s)
• Tape fast forward and rewind in 15 sec steps.
• TAP’s with non-native encoding now supported (C64, VIC20 frequencies)
• Bugfixes (sound, tape)
