Plug #2: CCS64 Emulator by Per Hakan Sundell. This is
far and away, the best
DOS / Windows emulator for the Commodore64. I have yet to find anything that
it could not do, and it's full of extra features (overclock your virtual
C-64, etc.). Mr Sundell is a very impressive programmer, as this work alone
will show. Homepage for CCS64 is found at:
Not CCS64, but C64S -- one of the earliest emulators. C64S itself is quite
good in its own way -- it is the only emulator that can send sound to the
internal PC speaker, and it is the only emulator that can talk to serial
devices using an X1541 cable. It also runs well on a 386 since it was written
in assembly by hand. Very few emulators nowadays can do any of these feats,
let alone all three.
But CCS64 is also very good. :-)
