Short: C64 emulator, V2.2
Author: bauec002@goofy.zdv.uni-mainz.de (Christian Bauer)
Uploader: bauec002@goofy.zdv.uni-mainz.de (Christian Bauer)
Version: 2.2
Type: misc/emu
Requires: AmigaOS 2.1, 68020
Frodo is a multitasking freeware C64 emulator for the Amiga and
DraCo. OS2.1 and a 68020 (or better) are required, as well as copies
of the original C64 ROMs, which are not included.
This emulator focuses on the exact reproduction of special graphical
effects possible on the 64, and has therefore relatively high system
requirements. Using a 68060-50 and a CyberVision card gives about
140-160% of the original C64 speed in standard text mode in the
emulation's most precise mode and about 700% in its fastest mode.
Using a line-based VIC model, Frodo is capable of running most games
and demos correctly, even those with FLI, FLD, DYCP, open top/bottom
borders, multiplexed sprites etc. A single-cycle version of the
emulator, "Frodo SC", is included that runs even those programs that
fail on the line-based emulation.
A graphics card (any one whose modes are selectable with a screenmode
requester will do) is strongly recommended for faster display as the
emulator's routines have been designed for a chunky display memory.
Some small demo programs and the full source code in C and assembly
language are included in the archive.
Changes from V2.1:
- OtherIEC gadget disabled on DraCo
- Overscan type can be set again
- D64 rouines read 1 byte too much from files, causing trouble with some
decrunchers
- $d41c returns random values
- TOD clocks wrap around at 11:59:59.9
- SID registers are reloaded when changing the SID emulation type
