<STRONG>Frodo</STRONG> is a freeware C64 emulator for BeOS, Unix, MacOS, AmigaOS,
|
|
Win32 and RiscOS systems and the world's first C64 emulator not bearing a
|
|
"64" in its name. <TT>:-)</TT> (No, it has absolutely nothing to do with
|
|
frodo.hiof.no, that's a pure coincidence.)<P>
|
|
|
|
Frodo was developed to reproduce the graphics of games and demos better
|
|
than the existing C64 emulators. Therefore Frodo has relatively high system
|
|
requirements: It should only be run on systems with at least a
|
|
PowerPC/Pentium/68060. But on the other hand, Frodo can display raster
|
|
effects correctly that only result in a flickering mess with other
|
|
emulators.<P>
|
|
|
|
Frodo comes in two <A HREF="flavours.html">flavours</A>: The "normal" Frodo
|
|
with a line-based emulation and the single-cycle emulation Frodo SC that is slower
|
|
but far more compatible.<P>
|
|
|
|
In addition to a precise 6510/VIC emulation, Frodo features a processor-level
|
|
1541 emulation that is even able to handle about 95% of all fast loaders.
|
|
There is also a faster 1541 emulation for four drives in .d64/x64 disk
|
|
images, .t64/LYNX archives, or directories of the host system.<P>
|
|
|
|
Frodo runs on these systems:<P>
