Purpose: emudore is a Commodore 64 emulator written from scratch using C++11 and SDL2.
Browser builds: JavaScript and WebAssembly demos are available to run in a browser, including a demo that boots into CBM BASIC and one that loads a Monopole PRG.
Platform support: The project says it builds and runs on Linux, Windows, OSX, and in a browser; it may also work on SDL2-supported platforms with a C++11 compiler.
Program loading: It can load PRG files and type BASIC listings, though special keys are not supported yet.
Video features: The VIC-II implementation supports four of five official graphics modes, plus smooth scrolling, sprites, raster interrupts, and badlines.
Timing: The emulator synchronizes its screen refresh to approximately 50 Hz (PAL) using vertical refresh synchronization.
Debugger integration: Debug builds on Linux and OSX support radare2 for reading and modifying memory.
Known limitations: The README says illegal opcodes are unsupported and advanced games or demos may fail because hardware features are incomplete and emulation is not pixel-exact.
Planned capabilities: The README lists SID sound and VIC-1541 floppy drive support as features the author would like to work on.
License: The project is licensed under Apache 2.0.
