VICE 1.21 WITH MMC64 EMULATION
The latest version of VICE (v1.21) has
been released earlier this month. Visit
the VICE homepage at:
http://www.viceteam.org for downloads.
At http://www.viceteam.org/plain/NEWS
you can find information on what's new
in this release. An interesting new
feature is MMC64 emulation. The dump of
an MMC64 BIOS is required for that. You
can find such a dump at retrohackers
.org Forum. Notice you will also need
the image of a MMC/SD card to emulate
MMC64 in VICE. To create an image of
your MMC/SD Card, you can use e.g.
WinImage or dd.exe.

Please keep in mind that MMC64
emulation is in an early stage of
development, so there are still bugs.
