a commodore 64 emulator
CCS64 emulates briefly the following things of an old C64 system:
- The main Commodore 64 console, with the keyboard and peripherals like joysticks, paddles and mouse. It emulates both the different systems sold in Europe as well as the USA.
- Up to four 1541 disk-drives are emulated (which means that you use special files on your PC, as a replacement for the old 5 1/4 inch floppy disks)
- The C2N cassette recorder is also emulated (which means the you use special files on your PC, as a replacement for the old magnetic tapes)
- Many of the old cartridges (that means special hardware expansions for the C64, which were plugged in at the back of the computer) are also emulated.
For more information, please read the full Documentation. For easy starting up instructions please read this file by Stuart Toomer! He also manages a very good resource called the CCS64 Knowledge Base . It can also be quite useful to search for your questions and possible answers in the new forum or the archived wwwboard.
For the emulation of some of the old media there are some new file formats introduced. View Cartridge File Format online. View the Raw-Tape File Format online.
