Description
A VICE based Commodore 64 emulator fast and very easy to use. The emulator comes with various programs and sources written in the famous CBM64 basic language.
The app emulates graphics, sounds and peripherals to perfection and also has a keyboard with the same layout as the original one.
You can load .T64 files and .D64 files as old floppy disks and can use virtual joystick in both port 1 and port 2.
App also supports hardware peripherals such as gamepads, joysticks, keyboards and more.
Develop software and also have fun with games with this 8-bit old glory and good poke! (C=)

Ratings and Reviews
Still lots of problems
Th edev added semi-support for D64's - I say "semi" because it's ridiculously clunky and unlike any other 64 emulator. You have to go to an external website, upload your D64 file, copy a chunk of encoded text, paste it back in the app, and then it'll load the D64. I tested it with Ultima V, which I wanted to play - and it... worked... ish. Changing disks is an exercise in futulity. Ultima V finally did load but it look several minutes to load, and then several minutes to get past the first welcome screen, and then the actual intro screen was so slow I gave up as the game would have been completely unplayable. And I don't get why - there's other C64 emulators foir the iPad before that work perfectly fine, and don't have these crazy limitations - just not in the app store. Oh well. I'm glad the dev is trying, I suppose.
Good attempt
It is a good attempt but without external joystick (PS4 gamepad) or being able to redefine keyboard (magic keyboard) for joystick emulation, it just doesn't work well.
Buggy, slow, full of ads… simply disappointing
The keyboard appears only at the top of the screen and can't be moved to the bottom of closed. When running the fractal program from the included demo disk, it runs so slowly. It's amazing that this emulator for a 40 year old computer doesn't have an option to run the processor at the speed of a modern one. Finally, there emulator died in the middle of the fractal demo due to some audio error. The demo didn't even use audio. Aside from that demo, the emulator overall is awkward and clumsy. Using an actual Commodore 64 from the 1980s would be a much better experience.
