Denise Emu

Imagesource: https://bitbucket.org/piciji/

There are more C64 emulators out there, than some have pairs of socks in the drawer. Due to the small instruction set of the MOS CPU, the machine definitely is a very interesting emulation target, even if the CPU emulation itself does not get you very far.

However - until today Denise was unknown to us - and one doesn't really know how this could happen. (This must be seriously analyzed, discussed and mitigated with measures by an to-be-built internal committee). 

Denise is not new. The project has seen its first commit sometime in 2019, and a German - unfortunately unknown - programmer named PiCiJi is responsible for the thing.

What makes Denise special, is, that the emu is cycle accurate and platform independent. Builds for Windows, Linux and MacOS are available.

If you want to experiment with it, you find the source on BitBucket. And if you have a little patience, look forward to the to be coming Amiga emulation.

However, we are curious.
