Post by thread:6502 Assembler/Commodore 64 Emulator

For what it's worth: I remember downloading something from Garbo a few months ago that emulated a Commodore 64 on a PC --- including allowing you to hook up serial bus devices (as well as the cassette recorder) to printer ports. Plus the ability to emulate these devices as well. (I have many years and many megabytes (yes, megabytes) worth of work on C64 disks. A few years back, I could have really used an emulator like this. Now I wonder if I care about anything on all those disks.) I can't remember the name of it. I did it at home and I'm at work. It did seem rather impressive to me. The program is shareware with about a ~$60 price (I think). Unfortunately, the unpaid version is also cripple-ware or neuter-ware. The date on the files made wonder if the authors were still interested. I never did persue tracking them down. It should be pretty easy to find on Garbo or a mirror.

Yeah, I'd like to try that if it works for games... can it do graphics? What kind of hardware adapter is neccessary to run the Commodore periphials? I'd be interested to know where one could buy this software/hardware.... ---------- > From: Richterkessing, Frank H (GEA, 055132 ) <.....FRANK.RICHTERKESSINGKILLspam@spam@APPL.GE.COM> {Quote hidden}> To: PICLISTKILLspamMITVMA.MIT.EDU > Subject: 6502 Assembler/Commodore 64 Emulator > Date: Monday, February 24, 1997 1:51 PM > > For what it's worth: > > I remember downloading something from Garbo a few months ago that > emulated a Commodore 64 on a PC --- including allowing you to hook up > serial bus devices (as well as the cassette recorder) to printer ports. > Plus the ability to emulate these devices as well.

Apparently it does graphics. C64 peripherals are supported by adapter cables that connect to LPT ports (Basically DB25P to DIN6.) Don't think there is a way to do cartridge port devices. I don't recall any active components needed.) The shareware file is in Garbo's DOS archive. The address is: http://garbo.uwasa.fi It is in /pc/emulator. Here is the entry: c64s11bd.zip 318237 Nov 16 1995 Commodore 64 emulator for MS-DOS This is about all I know about it. -Frank Frank Richterkessing Experimental Methods Engineer GE Appliances EraseMEFRANK.RICHTERKESSINGspam_OUTTakeThisOuTAPPL.GE.COM {Quote hidden}>---------- >From: Shawn Ellis[SMTP:sellisspam_OUTMERC.RX.UGA.EDU] >Sent: Monday, February 24, 1997 5:16PM >To: @spam@PICLISTKILLspamMITVMA.MIT.EDU >Subject: Re: 6502 Assembler/Commodore 64 Emulator > >Yeah, I'd like to try that if it works for games... can it do graphics? >What kind of hardware adapter is neccessary to run the Commodore >periphials?
