CBM EMULATION FAQ - (Version 4.0beta, x January 2000)
=================
* This FAQ is usually posted twice a month on the 4th and 19th to
* comp.emulators.cbm. Since comp.emulators.cbm was set up to remove the
* emulator discussion from comp.sys.cbm, this FAQ will not be posted there.
Lines preceeded by a '+' have been added or modified since the last version
+ was posted. Lines preceeded by a '*' are most likely outdated and due to
+ change sooner or later.
The FAQ is in four parts due to its size.
Part 1 is general information and a list of available emulators.
Part 2 is questions and answers.
Part 3 is mostly data.
Part 4 is basically reviews of various emulators.

1. Introduction
---------------
Welcome to the CBM emulation faq! These files cover any program that
emulates the features of any of the 8-bit Commodore machines that took
the civilized world by storm in the 1980's and still have a huge follow-
ing today. The C16/116/Plus4, C64, C128, VIC, and PET are all covered.
This file also covers most of the Frequently Asked Questions that crop up
on this FAQ's birthplace and newsgroup, comp.emulators.cbm.
Note that this FAQ has nothing to do with Amiga emulation; try checking
the comp.emulators.misc FAQ for information on Amiga emulation.
+ This FAQ is maintained by Markus Mehring .

1.1 What's new this time
Oh, a hell of a lot. Basically, there's a new maintainer (that's me, hi
everyone... :). I took it over from Scott Jones after he was way too
busy maintaining it and hence asked for someone to do the job.
Thanks for the good work up to now, Scott.
The above plus the mere amount of slight corrections that were necessary
to keep up with the developing emulation scene justifies a step in
version number, so this is the V4.0 (I don't believe in version numbers, but
anyway...). There are way too many changes and additions to the data to
mention them all, but you'll recognize them easily as they are marked with
a '+'. I'm absolutely sure that there are still tons of outdated pieces of
information in here (and if you stumble over an asterisk where a '+' should
be, you have found a line that I didn't manage to update before the
release...).
There are quite some things in this FAQ that IMHO don't belong here, either
because they are somewhat too specific (like all the explanations regarding
changing discs in a certain emulator - that is covered in the emulator's
docs) or are way outdated (like the reviews in the appendix). I did not cut
those things out, since some people have really put some effort into it and
it *could* still be helpful for the one or other reader. Maybe those bits
are left out or changed to some extent in the next release - time will tell.
If you discover any faulty pieces of information, do me a favor and contact
me. Any kind of correction, addition or plain comment will be welcome.
(Flames go to /dev/null per default...)
CU! Markus
2. What emulators are available?
--------------------------------
The list of emulators is as comprehensive as possible, with some brief
decriptions of what is emulated, and although something may be emulated
it may not be 100% compatible with the original.

+ Emulates the 1351-mouse with the PC-mouse.
+ Optional use of real CBM-peripherals
+ (1541, printer, tape) connected to the LPTx-port.

+ AUTHOR : Johan Fitié , Brad Martin
+ HOMEPAGE: ,
* DETAILS :
+ COMMENTS: Promising project of the current generation of emulators, mostly
+ because of lots of options to analyze the internals of the running
+ emulation.
+ Not yet optimized for speed, don't even try to run it on a 486.
+ The various ports are still quite beta-ish, don't expect too much.

DETAILS : SID: 100% emulated.
6510 99% emulated.
Joysticks: Yes, via keyboard or PC joystick.
VIC: 100% emulated.
Peripherals: Read-only emulation of one 1541 at device 8,
registered version allows writing to .d64 files.
Allows loading of one-parted files from .t64 or
.d64 files quicker than a real C64.
+ Other: CCSMON machine language monitor. Introducing parallel cable
+ (Floppy <-> Userport) emulation and cartridge emulation
+ with the V2.0Beta.
+ COMMENTS: Undoubtedly the best (read: most genuine, most accurate)
+ C64-emulator around. The V2.0beta already looks spectacularly
+ promising.

+ 6510: 99% emulated, I have seen no problems :)
+ Peripherals: Loading of one-parted files from .t64 files.
+ Also supports a 1541 through the parallel port
+ using X1541 cable.
+ COMMENTS: This program does not support .d64 files at the moment.
+ It is a decent emulator for what the author recommends
+ it for, and the author says that once a 1541 works
+ perfectly, then he will start adding graphics, sound, etc.
+ Looks like most work on this project has stopped, a lot of the
+ code apparently went to ComeBack64.

+ (none of which are included) (Amiga)
+ 8bit, 44.1khz, no filters
+ VIC: Line-/cycle-based emulation, all screen modes, sprites,

+ borders, all $d011/$d016 effects (Frodo SC)
+ 6510: All undocumented opcodes, instruction/cycle-based
+ Keyboard: American and german mapping
+ Joysticks: 1 or 2 digital joysticks, keyboard emulation
+ Peripherals: 1541 emulation in Amiga file system or .d64 files
+ (read-only); IEC bus on parallel port (requires
+ additional hardware) for connecting real CBM drives
+ and printers; optional processor-level 1541 emulation
+ COMMENTS: This emulator focuses on the exact reproduction of special
+ graphical effects possible on the C64. Using a line- or cycle-based
+ VIC model, Frodo is able to run most games and demos correctly.
+ The division into line-based and cycle-based emulation makes Frodo
+ come in three versions: Frodo (line-based), FrodoPC (improved
+ line-based) and FrodoSC (single-cycle emulation).
+ Built-in machine language monitor.

+ done.
+ COMMENTS: J64 has predecessors on the Atari (1989) and under MS-DOS (1995,

+ Lots of older versions under various names available.
+ PC64 is no longer supported and the programmer has stopped

+ 2.7.3 SID Emulators
Programs of this kind emulate the Sound Interface Device chip (MOS 6581),
the MPU (MOS 6510) and few additional hardware components of the C64/128
on machines where these chips don't exist. Their only aim is to give you
the possibility to listen to all the many soundtracks from C64 games and
demos. This is done by executing 6510-machine code routines that access
the SID chip to produce music or sound output. In general these
subroutines are independent fragments of code and data which can be
ripped from games and demonstration programs and are transfered
directly from the C64.
The quality of a SID emulator's sound output is very machine dependent,
but due to the fact that only the necessary hardware components are
emulated, the sound quality should be higher and more realistic than the
output of the average C64 emulator.
+ Refer to chapter 2.8.2 and 4.7.2 of this FAQ on where to find all the
SID music files you'll ever need.

I've just released ver. 2.0 of fvcbm, a program which lists the directories
of Commodore archives. This new version handles many new archive formats
all the ones I could find which are usable on the Commodore 64 and 128 or
Commodore 64 emulators.
The supported formats are:
ARC230 (ARC)
self-extracting ARC230 (SDA)
Lynx
CS-DOS (LZH)
self-extracting CS-DOS (SFX)
PC64 emulator files (R/S/U/P00)
emulator tape images (T64)
emulator disk images (D64 and X64)
The C source is public domain and has been tested under MS-DOS, SCO UNIX,
and Linux. The program requires a little-endian CPU to run so Sparc and
most other workstation users are out of luck.
The package is available from
* ftp://ftp.wimsey.com/pub/msdos/misc/fvcbm20.zip
(anonymous uucp from van-bc is also available). The man page can also be
* found at http://www.wimsey.com/~danf/fvcbm(1).html.
If you know of an archive type that isn't supported, please send me an
example and I'll look into adding it.
