The record

Purpose: Breadbin466 is a from-scratch Commodore 64 emulator written in Rust that focuses on accurately modeling one PAL Assy 250466 machine.
CPU and video: It emulates a cycle-driven MOS 6510 CPU and VIC-II raster timing, video generation, and bus arbitration.
Sound: Its MOS 6581R4AR SID model is based on characterisation of a physical datecode 2286 chip and models oscillator, DAC, mixing, and filter behavior.
Disk drive: The cycle-driven Commodore 1541 emulation includes its own CPU, VIAs, mechanics, GCR read channel, IEC communication, fastloaders, and protected disk behavior.
Other hardware: Features include CIA timers and interfaces, a 1351 proportional mouse, a 1530 Datassette with TAP playback and recording, cartridges, and a 1764 REU with 512 KB.
Disk formats: It supports D64, G64, NIB, NBZ, and the project's open D7Z disk-image format, plus disk-image creation, conversion, and space-reclamation tools.
Debugging: The integrated debugger includes breakpoints, disassembly, history, and configurable execution, read, and write tracing.
Audio capture: The project lists session-long PCM WAV audio capture and command-line automation facilities for testing and characterisation.
Desktop features: Native menus and Inspector windows are provided on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with fixed-refresh display pacing and 44.1 kHz audio preferred.
Availability: The repository says macOS and Windows builds are available through release downloads and Linux is supported through source builds.
Project status: Version 0.99.0 is described as feature-complete and ready for community testing, with broader testing remaining before 1.0.
License: The emulator is licensed under MIT, while the Commodore ROM images distributed with it are explicitly excluded from that license.
Support: Users can send feedback to [email protected] or report reproducible problems through GitHub Issues.
