- Short: C64 emulator, V2.2
- Uploader: bauec002@goofy.zdv.uni-mainz.de (Christian Bauer)
- Author: bauec002@goofy.zdv.uni-mainz.de (Christian Bauer)
- Type: misc/emu
- Replaces: misc/emu/Frodo.lha
- Version: 2.2
- Requires: AmigaOS 2.1, 68020
-
- Frodo is a multitasking freeware C64 emulator for the Amiga and
- DraCo. OS2.1 and a 68020 (or better) are required, as well as copies
- of the original C64 ROMs, which are not included.
-
- This emulator focuses on the exact reproduction of special graphical
- effects possible on the 64, and has therefore relatively high system
- requirements. Using a 68060-50 and a CyberVision card gives about
- 140-160% of the original C64 speed in standard text mode in the
- emulation's most precise mode and about 700% in its fastest mode.
-
- Using a line-based VIC model, Frodo is capable of running most games
- and demos correctly, even those with FLI, FLD, DYCP, open top/bottom
- borders, multiplexed sprites etc. A single-cycle version of the
- emulator, "Frodo SC", is included that runs even those programs that
- fail on the line-based emulation.
-
- A graphics card (any one whose modes are selectable with a screenmode
- requester will do) is strongly recommended for faster display as the
- emulator's routines have been designed for a chunky display memory.
-
- Some small demo programs and the full source code in C and assembly
- language are included in the archive.
-
- Changes from V2.1:
- - OtherIEC gadget disabled on DraCo
- - Overscan type can be set again
- - D64 rouines read 1 byte too much from files, causing trouble with some
- decrunchers
- - $d41c returns random values
- - TOD clocks wrap around at 11:59:59.9
- - SID registers are reloaded when changing the SID emulation type
