Versatile Commodore Emulator

VICE emulates well the hardware of the Commodore Business Machines of the pre-Amiga era. Supported are the various Pets, the VIC-20, the Commodore 64, the Commodore 128, the CBM-II series, and the PLUS/4.

Some alternate keywords for the above: VIC20, C64, C=64, C64 DTV, C128, C=128, CBM-500, CBM-600, CBM-700, PLUS4 .

This package does not contain the various ROM images needed to actually use the emulators; they are available separately from other locations (see the README.ROMs file). A corporation in the Netherlands called Tulip holds the copyrights to the ROM images, and redistribution is not permitted, but VICE itself is unencumbered.

Works perfectly. All C64 software works. Of course it required to get the rom file to run properly.

This is probably the best 8-bit Commodore emulator around. Installing from software manager leave you a little in the dark as to what you have to do as far as installing the roms required, so perhaps that's why the negative reviews. In anycase, you want to find the installation (/usr/lib/vice probably) and in there are folders for each of the machines. You'll want to put files called 'chargen', 'kernal' and 'basic' in the C64 folder before x64 will run. Similar for rest of them, but that should get you started. Good luck!!

No worky-worky. Tried each one individually, nothing at all. Not a window, not a busy cursor, nothing. (Don't actually know if busy cursors exist in Linux Mint.)

It does not start and run. I have a fresh install of Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64, And this Emulator does not run. So I give bad review.
