Power64 is a software that emulates the Commodore 64, allowing users to run retro games, applications, and demos on their modern computer systems.
Power64 is an incredibly powerful emulation program designed to enable you to run Commodore 64 programs with full color and sound on your Macintosh computer. Equipped with a range of features, Power64 allows for incredible emulation of programs originally designed for the Commodore 64 computer.
One of the key features of Power64 is the MOS 6510 CPU emulation, which also includes all illegal opcodes. The program also features a highly precise VIC (VideoIC) emulation, which includes all video modes, sprites, soft-scrolling, raster interrupts, sprite collision, and open top/bottom/left/right borders. Additionally, the program also features antialiasing, which emulates the blur of a TV screen.
Other features of Power64 include an accurate SID (SoundID) emulation, which includes waveforms, envelopes (ADSR), ring-modulation, synchronization, filters, resonance, and samples. The program also includes access to the reSID Library by Dag Lem, which provides almost 100% precise SID emulation, including filters and resonance. Additionally, Power64 also features CIA emulation, including interrupts, time of day, timers, and alarm.
With Power64, you can also choose between the optional original C64 keyboard layout or Macintosh keyboard layout. The program also features emulated joysticks (both via real ADB/USB joysticks and keyboard mapping), mouse, paddles, and lightpen. Additionally, Power64 also includes CPU-level 1541 floppy disk emulation using *.D64 and *.G41 (GCR) disks, which can handle most fast-loaders and special floppy tricks.
ROM-level 1541 disk drive emulation is also included in Power64, with support for *.D64, *.X64, and ZipCode files. This feature allows for fast and easy disk access. Additionally, Power64 also includes ROM-level 1571 and 1581 disk drive emulation, which supports *.D71 and *.D81 files, respectively. Direct access to the Macintosh file system is also possible using both *.C64 and *.P00 files.
Power64 also includes support for tape drive (Datasette) emulation using *.T64 and Lynx files, as well as raw tape (TAP) emulation for maximal compatibility. TapeDisk is another feature included in Power64, which enables *.T64 and Lynx files to be used on disk drives. Games on *.CRT ROM cartridges are also supported by Power64. Additionally, the program features automatic expansion of ZIP, GZ, and LHA compressed disk or tape images, making it easy to use compressed images directly from CD-ROM.
Finally, Power64 also includes printer emulation, which supports text only in C64 mode, and text and graphics under GEOS. All in all, Power64 is an incredibly powerful program for anyone looking to run Commodore 64 programs on their Macintosh computer. With its extensive range of features and highly accurate emulation, it's a must-have for anyone looking to experience the nostalgia of classic computing.
