Commodore Retro Magic Dream: Pyc64 supports I/O on real emulation Read More »
It is already history, and you can read my review there. But if you like to try it yourself, you can order the C/64 Replica below. PS: if you wait some time, I predict it will ha a sale price of 40% of more, in a couple of months…versus the current 104€ retail price.
I’d like to point you to this blog article about “cycle stepped” 6502 emulator. It is well described and can be a neat read for xmas vacation. Also author’s main project is all about A toolbox of 8-bit chip-emulators, helper code and complete embeddable system emulators in dependency-free C headers (a subset of C99 that …
Tempo fa ho citato il progetto Pyc64, un C/64 “diversamente emulato”. Esiste un progetto molto più ambizioso che sta andando in pressione, si chiama Commander X 16, ed è partito da David Murray e da altre tre persone. Il desiderio di David era quello di creare un computer a 8bit simile al C/64 ma un …
Some time ago I mentioned the Pyc64 project, a “differently emulated” C/64. There’s a much more ambitious project that’s going under pressure, it’s called Commander X 16. Commander X 16 has been started by David Murray and three other guys. David’s desire was to create an 8-bit computer similar to the C/64 but a little …

Ok this is a bit embarassing! Even in 2019, there is a IDE for C/64 which is still mantained! C64 Studio is a full .NET IDE which can connect to [Win]Vice for debugging. It seems Deutsche guys are very strong on C/64 Developmenet on these days….
When I was young I was able to play with my Vic20/Commodore64. I learned to love programming with these small 8-bit *real* computers. I was between 11 and 12 years old, and just learning basic English, with only a data-casette to store my stuff. Now my son is 9 years old, and I was unable …
The ZilogZ80 CPU is an 8-bit based microprocessor. It was introduced by Zilog in 1976 as the startup company’s first product. The Z80 was conceived by Federico Faggin in late 1974. The Z80 was software compatible (!) with the Intel 8080 machine language. It added several extensions and was the heart of the ZX Spectrum. Zilog Z80 is the chip who powered half of the ’80 microcomputers. …
L’Atari2600 è stata la prima console giochi casalinga, ed è stata commercializzata nel 1977. Ha resistito al collasso del mercato dei videogiochi del 83-84 ed è rimasta in produzione fino al 1992. Do dove viene il suo successo, intimamente legato come vedremo al c64? La 2600 era composta da tre chip Il microprocessore si chiamava …
Ho posseduto sia un Vic20 ed un C/64, come molti della mia generazione, credo. Il Commore 64 è stato un micro computer commercializzato tra il 1982 e il 1994, dalla Commodore Business Machine (CBM). Il vero salto di qualità con il C/64 me lo fece fare un rivista scovata in un Autogril, chiamata Commodore Computer Club, che …
