COMMODORE BASIC FOR LINUX
*************************************
http://www.pagetable.com/?p=48
This application is a recompiled
version of the original Commodore 64
binary it is not a
reimplementation, so while it runs
at pretty much the maximum possible
speed, it is still 100% compatible.
The huge C file in the archive has
been produced by feeding the
original 6502 code into my static
recompiler and optimizing it with
LLVM. The original operating system
interface (character I/O, LOAD, SAVE
etc.) has been reimplemented in
native C, so Commodore BASIC
interfaces nicely with OS
X/Windows/Unix you can use pipe
I/O, and you can pass the filename
of a BASIC program on the command
line.
Yes, you could also just run a
standard C64 emulator, but it
wouldn't be nearly this speed, and
everything would run inside a
sandbox; and there would be no way
to interface this to your OS.
