The current version emulates the C64, the C128 -(save the 80 columns screen), the VIC20, the CBM-II line (B128, B256), and -all the PET models (except the SuperPET 9000, which is out of line -anyway). +VICE is the one and only Versatile Commodore Emulator. It provides +emulation of the Commodore 64, 128, VIC20 and PET 8-bit computers +within a single package. The emulators run as separate programs, but +have the same user interface, share the same settings and support the +same file formats. + +All the emulators provide an accurate 6502/6510 emulator, with +emulation of all the opcodes (both documented and undocumented ones) +and accurate timing. Unlike other emulators, VICE aims to be cycle +accurate; it tries to emulate chip timings as precisely as possible +and does so efficiently. + +Please do not expect the VIC20, C128 and PET emulators to be as good +as the C64 one, as they are still under construction. + +The current version emulates the C64, the C128 (save the 80 columns +screen, 2MHz and C64 mode), the VIC20, the CBM-II line (B128, B256), +and all the PET models. |
