VIC 20 Emulators list

Post by nippur72 »

List of emulators for the Vic-20:

Multiplatform Windows Linux MAC Android Web emulators Old systems Other/FPGA The list is far from being complete. If you know of any other emulator that should be added, please let me know. We need to cover the emulators for consoles, portable systems and phones.

Power20 (and Power64) are unfortunately not supported from Mac OS 10.7 Lion onwards.
I miss Power 20 since moving to my new Mac.
VICE is more exact, but Power20 was easier to quickly work with. E.g. a key caps window showing where all the VIC-keys are. Fewer menu items to search through to insert a disk image.

Paul Robson's VIC 20 emulator is another one to add to the list:

It's another old MS-DOS one from sometime in 1996. It came out within a month or two of V20 and PCVIC.

Rumor has it there are a couple of Vic20 emulators for the Commodore 64. Is this true? I'd love to tinker with one (even though I have the real deal).

Thanks!

There exist a few, indeed. For BASIC programs, they go as far as emulating the standard 22x23 text window restriction, POKEs into the sound registers, and even rudimentary support for user defined characters (i.e., POKE36869,255 with UDGs beginning at 7168). For anything beyond that, and machine language, you can pretty much forget about them.

matsondawson just released vic20Dart, a port to the Dart language of his JavaScript Vic 20 emulator.

It runs very fast on Dartium (a Chromium browser which includes the Dart virtual machine).
