C-swifty4

============================

**This project is a work in progress and is no way near complete!**



	





	



C-swifty4 is a cycle accurate Commodore 64 emulator for macOS, iOS and tvOS, written entirely in Swift.

This is a side project I started for a bunch of reasons, mostly because I was interested in building an emulator from scratch (and the C64 being my first computer I always wanted to take a deeper look on how it actually worked), and to learn some Swift along the way... This means that this project is not meant to be a “professional” emulator, it might not even be finished ever, but some people might find it interesting (and I needed some place to host my repo anyway).

Also, code structure, commenting and stuff is going to change a lot...

FAQ

============================

#### How do I build it?

C-swifty4 requires Swift 4, so you’ll need to use Xcode 9 or higher to build it.

Works on OS X 10.12 and iOS9 mostly because it’s the only place I tested, so it might work with older versions...

You’ll need to provide your own C64 ROM dumps to make it work, so replace the files in the `ROM` folder with the appropriate ones (kernal and basic need to be 8192 bytes, chargen is 4096, 1541 is 16384).

Also, the iOS version will look for program files in the `Programs` folder, so put them there before building.

Then just open the project file, build and run.

#### What works

* BASIC (unless some instructions I haven’t tested need the missing opcodes)

* Video (all video modes, some sprites functionalities)

* Keyboard (not all keys)

* Joystick 2

* Loading files (Supported *.prg and *.p00 files will be dumped in memory directly atm, *.txt files will be typed in as text)

* Standard .d64 disk files

#### What doesn’t work

* Sound

* Joystick 1

* Loading tapes

* Playing games probably

* FPS limiting (runs as fast as it can right now)

* A lot of things basically...
