<STRONG>Frodo</STRONG> is an open and free C64 emulator for BeOS, Unix, |
| 17 |
MacOS, AmigaOS, Win32 and RiscOS systems and the world's first C64 emulator |
| 18 |
not bearing a "64" in its name. <TT>:-)</TT><P> |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Frodo comes in two <A HREF="flavours.html">flavours</A>: The regular |
| 21 |
<STRONG>Frodo</STRONG> with a line-based emulation, and the single-cycle |
| 22 |
emulation <STRONG>Frodo SC</STRONG> that is slower but far more |
| 23 |
compatible.<P> |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
In addition to a precise 6510/VIC emulation, Frodo features a full, |
| 26 |
processor-level 1541 emulation that is able to handle most fast loaders. |
| 27 |
There is also an alternative, faster 1541 emulation of four drives in |
| 28 |
.d64/x64 disk images, .t64/LYNX archives, or directories of the host |
| 29 |
system.<P> |
