I am required to get a Commodore 64 emulator working for purposes of my 21st Century Pinball article - specifically, I'm trying to get this Pinball Dreams remake to work. Thing is, I haven't the slightest clue where to start. What's the best C64 emulator available, how do I run these things, etc? |

Use winvice, it's pretty simple to run games. Just unzip the rom and then run it through the menu in the emu's gui.
A lot of c64 games were programmed to run at 50hz instead of 60. So unless your monitor or tv can support 50hz then a lot of games will have incredibly choppy scrolling.

on top of winvice i got ccs64 and hox64. couldn't say what's best. i hardly use computer emulation in comparison to consoles, but i gotta figure something out of those 3 should be good enough.

If the emulator you're using supports other palettes (I'm pretty sure vice does), I recommend using the "pepto" palette. It's offers the closest thing to real c64 colors: www.pepto.de/projects/colorvic/ |

I've been messing with WinVice and the only thing I've got out of my intended game was the 21st Century logo and introduction music. Waited five minutes and nothing happened - also tried turning on Warp Speed and waiting another five minutes; still nothing. Could use some assistance with this game.

I tried it out and got stuck too, usually you just have to hit space or swap your joystick ports over and press fire but that didn't work.  |

Strange...I tried the demo with CCS64 and I managed to load every part without problems.I suppose that the various loads still aren't linked together,so what you have to do is to directly load a table. That said,I really hope the project will be completed someday,Pinball Dreams is one of my favorite pinball sims. |

I hated the Commodore emulator on the DS, you needed to input codes to get the games to run. For me, the Spectrum plays alot more convienantly.
