## Releases

A cartridge image (`.bin`) as well as a `.prg`-file is available in the ***[Releases section](https://github.com/hagronnestad/c64matrix/releases)***.

### Raw Cartridge Image (`.bin`)

The raw cartridge image can be burned to an `(E)EPROM` to create a physical cartridge for use with a real Commdore 64. This is ***NOT*** a `.crt` cartridge file.

### Program File (`.prg`)

The `.prg`-file can be used with emulators such as `VICE` and also cartridges like the `Kung Fu Flash`.

## Build From Source

  - `sudo apt install cc65`

- Run make:

  - `make`

- Clean build folder:

  - `make clean`

All build artifacts can be found in the `build` folder.
