Frodo is a freeware C64 emulator for BeOS, Unix, MacOS, AmigaOS, Win32
|
|
|
|
|
and RiscOS systems and the world's first C64 emulator not bearing a
|
|
|
|
|
"64" in its name. :-) (No, it has absolutely nothing to do with
|
|
|
|
|
frodo.hiof.no, that's a pure coincidence.)

Frodo was developed to reproduce the graphics of games and demos
|
|
|
|
|
better than the existing C64 emulators. Therefore Frodo has relatively
|
|
|
|
|
high system requirements: It should only be run on systems with at
|
|
|
|
|
least a PowerPC/Pentium/68060. But on the other hand, Frodo can
|
|
|
|
|
display raster effects correctly that only result in a flickering mess
|
|
|
|
|
with other emulators.

Frodo comes in three flavours: The "normal" Frodo with a line-based
|
|
|
|
|
emulation, the improved line-based emulation "Frodo PC", and the
|
|
|
|
|
single-cycle emulation Frodo SC that is slower but far more
|
|
|
|
|
compatible.

In addition to a precise 6510/VIC emulation, Frodo features a
|
|
|
|
|
processor-level 1541 emulation that is even able to handle about 95%
|
|
|
|
|
of all fast loaders. There is also a faster 1541 emulation for four
|
|
|
|
|
drives in .d64/x64 disk images, .t64/LYNX archives, or directories of
|
|
|
|
|
the host system.
