Emu64 is a Low-Level C64 Emulator for windows. All custom chip cycles are emulated exactly. The emulation is embedded in a Win32 environment, so you don't have to worry about performance. The user interface uses the .NET Framework 2.0 for the graphic and sound output. The gamecontrols use DirectX 9.0c. Emu64 is coded in C++.

After starting up Emu64 you see the Main Window (see (german) animation above).

This window consists of these three areas from top to bottom:

• Main Menu
• C64 Screen
• Status bar

You use the main menu to access all functions of Emu64, like loading a Floppy Image for example.

If you click the right mouse button on the C64 Screen a context menu opens up. In this context menu you can access useful functions like switching between SID MOS-6581 and MOS-8085 or change the joystick port.
If the main window is active you can write on the C64 screen with your PC keyboard. Emu64 understands all C64 commands.

The status bar shows important infos and you can unplug the REU for example.
