<STRONG>Frodo</STRONG> is a freeware C64 emulator for BeOS, Unix, MacOS, AmigaOS, |
| 17 |
< |
Win32 and RiscOS systems and the world's first C64 emulator not bearing a |
| 18 |
< |
"64" in its name. <TT>:-)</TT> (No, it has absolutely nothing to do with |
| 19 |
< |
frodo.hiof.no, that's a pure coincidence.)<P> |
| 20 |
< |
|
| 21 |
< |
Frodo was developed to reproduce the graphics of games and demos better |
| 22 |
< |
than the existing C64 emulators. Therefore Frodo has relatively high system |
| 23 |
< |
requirements: It should only be run on systems with at least a |
| 24 |
< |
PowerPC/Pentium/68060. But on the other hand, Frodo can display raster |
| 25 |
< |
effects correctly that only result in a flickering mess with other |
| 26 |
< |
emulators.<P> |
| 27 |
< |
|
| 28 |
< |
Frodo comes in two <A HREF="flavours.html">flavours</A>: The "normal" Frodo |
| 29 |
< |
with a line-based emulation and the single-cycle emulation Frodo SC that is slower |
| 30 |
< |
but far more compatible.<P> |
| 31 |
< |
|
| 32 |
< |
In addition to a precise 6510/VIC emulation, Frodo features a processor-level |
| 33 |
< |
1541 emulation that is even able to handle about 95% of all fast loaders. |
| 34 |
< |
There is also a faster 1541 emulation for four drives in .d64/x64 disk |
| 35 |
< |
images, .t64/LYNX archives, or directories of the host system.<P> |
