-
- Frodo is a multitasking freeware C64 emulator for the Amiga.
- OS2.1 and a 68020 (or better) are required, as well as copys 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 is therefore not very fast (using a
- 68040/25 and a Piccolo card gives about half of the original C64 speed).
- However, using a line-based VIC model, it is capable of running most
- games and demos correctly, even those with FLI, FLD, DYCP, open
- top/bottom borders, multiplexed sprites etc. (but not AFLI and other
- effects depending on exact VIC/6510 synchronization).
-
- EGS, Picasso, CyBERgraphics and Merlin graphics cards are supported for
- faster display. Using Amiga modes is possible, but slower (though
- there's a very fast monochrome Amiga mode).
-
- Some small demo programs and the full source code in assembly language
- are included in the archive.
-
- Changes from V1.4:
- - Bug in joystick routines corrected
- - Merlin graphics cards supported
- - Danish, finnish, swedish and norwegian catalog files
