Commodore C64 Emulator?

Question

I'm kind of feeling nostalgic and want to play on a C64 like I did when I was 10, but I don't have one to hand.

Is there an emulator available?

Answer 1

Have you tried CCS64?

Games available from http://www.classic-pc-games.com/c64/games/index.html

Answer 2

You don't mention which platform you're wanting to run it on. Vice is probably your best choice as an open source emulator which handles a number of platforms (including the C64): http://www.viceteam.org/

Answer 3

http://www.viceteam.org/ is a decent emulator. Please ask programming questions though.

Answer 4

Have you tried google?

Answer 5

There is a thing callec the VersatIle Commodore Emulator (VICE) that will emulate the hardware, but you will have to find ROM images, and have a legal real ROM to use it.

But why? Just buy a real one. They don't cost too much.

Answer 6

If you loved programming the C64, take a look at XGameStation which is a project to get back to the basics...having fun, and I think one will learn a lot (specially those who never had one of the 80' pre-PC computers)

There is also a C64 emulator put in a joystick Direct-to-TV

Answer 7

This is just a proof-of-concept, but there's also a C64 emulator written in Flash. It's pretty useless, but interesting nonetheless:
