User reviews

I would say C64 emu is the best Commodore 64 emulator available. It has a good game compatibility. Link bios and link your roms folder with d64 games inside. Excellent emulator worth the purchase. 5 🌟

Usually it just stops at "READY_". At the same time other free emulators (RetroArch) work just fine on the same ROM file. Game runs ok only first time. To be able to play again you have to manually delete VSF files and restart.

Great and fully featured but seems like the save and load from disk features are broken. I can save the file to the disk but then it doesn't find it when I load (maybe I'm doing something wrong?). BT keyboard also locks up frequently when after pressing shift/space bar but if i enter the menu then exit it works fine again. Other than that it's excellent. I use it for C64 programming and I'm having lots of fun. Thank you for your hard work Mr. Broglia
