Ratings and reviews

I must say, this is the best Commodore emulator I've used to date. It is exactly what I'd been looking for. It's worth all 5 stars and every penny I paid for it. The only suggestion I might have, is to improve the emulator by revamping the keyboard (in landscape mode) to mirror the original exactly... but that not withstanding, I'd highly recommend this to anyone.

I continue to run into issues with this emulator, but I can at least play games with it. Issue #1: does not recognize a real USB keyboard. It comes with a soft keyboard but why would I need that if I have a real keyboard plugged in? Issue#2: fire button is mapped to the spacebar on the soft keyboard even though I changed it in the key mappings. Issue #3: No documentation to be found.

Great and fully featured but seems like the save and load from disk features are broken. I can save the file to the disk but then it doesn't find it when I load (maybe I'm doing something wrong?). BT keyboard also locks up frequently when after pressing shift/space bar but if i enter the menu then exit it works fine again. Other than that it's excellent. I use it for C64 programming and I'm having lots of fun. Thank you for your hard work Mr. Broglia
