Hi there!
Here is my attempt to write a C64 Emulator:
Download

Uses SDL2.dll for sound output
No Floppy / Tape emulation
only supported filetype is *.prg

Default keys for the Joysticks are:
Numpad 1 - Left
Numpad 3 - Right
Numpad 5 - Up
Numpad 2 - Down
Numpad 7 - Fire

shame I can't try this out at the moment, thanks for sharing.

"But does it emulate X_BEHAVIOUR on raster line Y at cycle Z when the screen is off and you are heating eggs on the PSU?!!111"

In seriousness, pretty cool. Thanx a lot for sharing the source.

EDIT: I cant compile it... POLINK errors... unresolved SDL symbols... slap me with a clue stick?

The DLL used is 64bit so you will have to compile with PB x64 (kinda says that is the description )

My excitement got the better of me Thanx

It' is very impressive. Managed a few games of stuff. Far from perfect, but it wasn't stated as such Could easily be extended to be useful for crossdev/debugging. Cheers!

Interesting! Love the C64, so it's nice to see this.

Congratulations!

Bravo, very nice stuff !!!!

Hi, hi,

long time ago I wrote an Sharp MZ700 emulator.
At the start of my PB time I wanted to port it to PB, but a Z80 CPU is not easy to port

I did also many tricks to speed up the character output (using VGA custom charsets)

At the moment it runs only via DOSBox

So from one emulator to the other ...

WELL DONE

thanks for the feedback!
No, its not at all a perfect emulation - just a fun project for me.
My initial goal was just to see the blue startscreen and a blinking cursor but from there on
I added more and more features like collision detection, foreground/background Sprite position,
SID-Sound and so on...
Unfortunatly, many of the more advanced games and demos are not running but i already spent
too much time on this project to fix that.
Maybe someone else feels the urge to make it work

Cool idea, maybe going one step back in history would be also an interesting project the Pet 2001

Very cool!
