History
[ edit ]
The development of VICE began in 1993 by a Finnish programmer Jarkko Sonninen, who was the founder of the project. Sonninen retired from the project in 1994.[5]
VICE 2.1, released on December 19, 2008, emulates the Commodore 64 , Commodore 128 , Commodore VIC-20 , Commodore Plus/4 , C64 Direct-to-TV (with its additional video modes) and all the Commodore PET models including the CBM-II but excluding the 'non-standard' features of the SuperPET 9000. WinVICE supports digital joysticks via a parallel port driver , and, with a CatWeasel PCI card, is planned to perform hardware SID playback (requires optional SID chip installed in socket).
As of 2004,[update] VICE was one of the most widely used emulators of the Commodore 8-bit personal computers.[6] : 5 It is also one of the few usable Commodore emulators to exist on free Unix-based platforms, including most Linux and BSD distributions.
VICE 3.4 drops support for Syllable Desktop , SCO, QNX , SGI, AIX, OPENSTEP /NeXTSTEP /Rhapsody , and Solaris/OpenIndiana , as well as remaining traces of support for Minix, SkyOS , UNIXWARE, and Sortix, due to lack of staff.
VICE 3.5 drops explicit support for OS/2 and AmigaOS , due to the transition to GTK3 UI.
In December 2022, the VICE emulator was used as an inspiration for an Apple Macintosh emulator powered by a Raspberry Pi .[7]
