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.
Be WARNED, it has around 80 trackers for your privacy (or lack of)
When you first install this ask it asks you to content to a ridiculous number of privacy violations with cookies (about 30 or so), and if you’re not careful at the end of the list if you click on “vendors” you get to see about 50 or so more, and many of them have been pre-selected to track you.
I can’t begin to imagine how this App got past Apple’s quality/privacy/abuse control. DO NOT INSTALL or you will be followed all over the Internet with hundreds of cookies.
Not there yet
I downloaded because description says it loads D64 files, but then when you try to it says coming soon. Be honest in your app description…
Update - it was updated, but I have to paste in the contents of the disk image? Come on, can you make it any more difficult to use? What’s with the 100+ trackers and big ad banner taking up screen space? How about letting us pay a little (once it all works) to not waste screen space with ads?
Developer Response ,
App updated, now it is possible to load both .D64 and .T64 :-)
