Welcome to the official VirtualC64 documentation. Here you will find a detailed view of VirtualC64's public API. It summarizes the necesarry information for developers to incoorporate the emulation core in own projects. For more information about VirtualC64 plase visit the official website.

Example

VirtualC64 is implemented in C++20 with high portability in mind. The following code snippet demonstrates the general usage model of the emulator core.

#include "VirtualC64.h"
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 
{
 
    // Create an emulator instance
    VirtualC64 c64;
 
    // Launch the emulator thread (with messageReceiver defined elsewhere)
    c64.launch(this, messageReceiver);
 
    // Configure the emulator
    c64.set(OPT_VICII_REVISION, VICII_PAL_6569_R3);
 
    // Start the emulator
    c64.run() 
 
    //
    // Interact with the emulator
    // 
}
