New Version Of The Commodore 64 Emulator Panera64
August 1, 2008 by Hawq
A Commodore 64 emulator for the Dreamcast by Ron, my Dreamcast is tucked away at the back of a cupboard so I’ll jump straight into what he had to say about it I think (post translation from Spanish that is):
This version is port of the version DreamFrodo 0.94 that it carried Tolga Abaci based on Frodo 4,1 of Christian Bauer.
Initially it was developed to work on a version of KOS (0.9*1.0 + Newlib) very primitive (version 2001*2002), therefore incompatible and noncompilable with toolchains present, the version from which it is updated to KOS 1,3 (KallistiOS 1,3 updated to svn 561) is DreamFrodo 0,94 (2002). Therefore one is to rescue the emulator and to make it available to update it with more modern tools.
EmulatorsSome already you knew that I am happening through stage CBM and to returns with the paneras, that symbolically and in humor key are as I see Commodore Vic 20 and 64.

Then to all those that you like the C64 already we have an emulator with very many options, all functional and mainly most surprising it is its speed. This first version alpha has activated the emulation of unit 1541, with which I recommend that it is deactivated for greater compatibility and the Joystick by defect is switcheado to port2 of the C64 (most of games use it).
Pads supports two connected and Dreamcast keyboard, has a virtual keyboard that it is acceded by means of the key X, to accede to the general menu of the emulator it will be enough with pressing START. When Castilian being totally in not tendreis lost some for orientaros with the options.
In principle it would have to open to files zip, but not yet it has given time me to prove it, for that reason I resort to all those that they want to collaborate with the development and update of the emulator doing the beta workings testing. Podeis to postear your impressions and commentaries.
It has piles of BUGS, are visible if you fijais, like for example in the blitteo depending of which games, for that reason most important for future corrections it is to be detecting everything what it improves the emulator as far as fidelity and quality.
In brief days after a cleaning of source I will publish the sources, that have in fact not undergone modifications except all the parts of KOS that they have had to be rewritten so that it works in updated surroundings.
In my gratefulness to my great teacher is version Troy Davis, a.k.a GPF and to my good colleagues Indiket and Guaripolo to hold to me when I am in critical moment DC.
