C64S v2.25 11/22/99 DOS This was one of the first Commodore 64 Emulators. It is coded bySeattle Labs, and is a commercial emulator that costs $69.95. However, there are other emulatorsjust as good, if not better, that are free.

DOS

This is one of the best C64 emulators. It is a very fast emulator,and supports almost everything an actual Commodore 64 would support. To get all the features,you have to register this emulator, however, such as cartridge support and wave output. The new2.0 beta version has support for more features, but is buggy. The 2.0 DOS version no longer requires the 1.09 DOS version as well.

CCS64 is shareware and registration is US$30. It's worth the cash.

Win64 v0.40 06/23/98 Windows This is one of the few Commodore 64 emulators for Windows. It was originally developed due to the author's reaction when he saw a C64 emulator being sold for a high price, and he decided he could make one for free that would serve his purposes. Unfortunately,his mind has since changed, and the complete version now costs money. It has sound, speed,as well as a high compatibility rate.
