About this app

A droid64 based Commodore 64 emulator fast and very easy to use. The emulator comes with various programs and sources written in the famous CBM64 basic language.
The app emulates graphics, sounds and peripherals to perfection and also has a keyboard with the same layout as the original one.
You can load .T64 files and .D64 files as old floppy disks and can use virtual joystick in both port 1 and port 2.
App also supports hardware peripherals such as gamepads, joysticks, keyboards and more.

Develop software and also have fun with games with this 8-bit old glory and good poke! (C=)

Ratings and reviews

The app is really good and deserves 5 stars but unfortunately has a major frustrating flaw. All your game/rom files have to be placed in the root directory. You can't even put the files out of the way nearly into a folder. I have over 45,000 files sorted into folders etc. To have all these in root is just not practical. Surely the devs could put a game file directory selector in options? Please make this happen as this deserves to be 5 stars and then i'd happily pay for full version.

Received a reply from the developer and i thought I'd give it a go, however it requires permissions and privacy information that include camera, microphone and photos plus others. I decided not to use it and have uninstalled. It's the first emulator on phone that plays Alter Ego properly. However, the sound stutters, the disk loading times are very slow and the fact you can't see the whole screen when you use the joystick option means that quite a lot more work is needed on it. Nice start though

Just installed on a S23 Ultra. Emulator works great. Even paid to remove the ad for the best experience. If you have disk images (.d64) you downloaded, you need to navigate to the folder you saved them with the select disk/file option in Emu64 XL. If you downloaded the disk image of your favorite game and it is a zip file, you should unzip it with a file manager before selecting the game in this app. I made a folder named "c64" in my downloads folder to keep my .d64 images organized.
