This Emulator is a tribute for the highest-selling single computer model of all time: C64. The main focus was an almost perfect graphical user interface (GUI) and also emulation. After about 5 month, 14 hours each day, of hard work to make it happen, it's available now :-)

It's a part of my plan for my upcoming new C64 Multiplayer Universe 2020! An idea I've been working on for a year and a half (2018). I know a lot of people don't like the idea, but I think the idea is fantastic. If you want to be a part of this future, you can support the project by purchasing the app.

How to Start: Place the C64 System Files (ROMs: Kernel, Basic, Char, 1541II) and also the games you want to play (.prg .p00 .t64 .d64 .g64 .tap .crt .sid), somewhere on your Android Device (a good place is the "Download" Folder in the internal memory). That's it. Tested with Android 5,6,7,8,9 and 10.

Manual:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/myprojects-all/upload/manual/

Features:
• Touch Keyboard (vertically movable)
• Movable/Zoom On-Screen Stick + Button (use 2 Fingers)
• Fullscreen Mode (wide 16:9 is not possible, it would look bad... ugly stretched)
• Automatic stored Savegame for each game (after leaving a game)
• Manually 4 Gamestates for each game (via menu L State/S State)
• ReSID x 3 (Address: d400, d420, d440 | Sampling: Fast, because for interpolating/resampling are the most android devices not fast enough)
• 4 free fillable and switchable ROM Banks (like: JiffyDos, SpeedDos, DolphinDos, Exos)
• Up to 4 external Gamepads (USB or Bluetooth) and an external Keyboard (USB or Bluetooth)
• Visual Memory & Code Analyzer
• Gamepad Button Remapper (if the standart mapping is not working)
• Screen Adjustments (Brightness, Saturation, Scanlines, Tube Bend, Vignette, X/Y Zoom, RGB)

Known Bugs:
* Random NDK crash reported by one user, it's rare, but this have to be fixed *
* Not all .sid files are working (at this time only v2 and addr: $1000-$9000)
* For smooth scrolling with 60Hz Displays you have to switch to NTSC Mode (but PAL Mode is also nearly smooth)


Hint: this app is based on the fantastic vice emulator from the vice team and was modified a lot, and the source code you can find on sourceforge.net/projects/myprojects-all/
