Frodo - The free portable C64 emulator
Note
Frodo has not been updated for quite a while because I've been working on
other projects (GiNaC, Basilisk II, ...). However, I'm currently doing a
complete rewrite of the code for Frodo V5. It will use an event-based
emulation like UAE or VICE because the current line-based model has already
been stretched beyond its feasibility. Also, the fantastic
SDL will be used as the
low-level graphics/sound/input library. If you have any special wishes for
features you'd like to see in Frodo V5, don't hesitate to mail me.
NEW! Frodo V4.1b
This new source release fixes some compilation and sound problems under Linux
and adds two significant improvements:
- An enhanced Tcl/Tk preferences GUI written by Gerard Decatrel
- The ability to use SDL for graphics
output which eliminates the restriction to 8-bit screens (which probably
no-one is using any more). If you have SDL version 1.2 or higher installed,
the
configure
script will automatically detect and use it.
Since the changes only affect Unix systems, there are no updated binary
distributions. You can get the source of Frodo V4.1b here:
Frodo V2.4 for AmigaOS
Frodo V4.1 for BeOS/Unix/MacOS/AmigaOS/RiscOS/Windows/EPOC/...
Note: The following ports of Frodo have been contributed by other people,
and most of them have not been tested by me. If you need support for one
of these ports you should contact its respective maintainer.
