# The emulators/frodo port

## frodo-4.1bp5 – Commodore 64 emulator

## Description

    Frodo is a freeware C64 emulator for BeOS, Unix, MacOS, AmigaOS, Win32
    and RiscOS systems and the world's first C64 emulator not bearing a
    "64" in its name. :-) (No, it has absolutely nothing to do with
    frodo.hiof.no, that's a pure coincidence.)

    Frodo was developed to reproduce the graphics of games and demos
    better than the existing C64 emulators. Therefore Frodo has relatively
    high system requirements: It should only be run on systems with at
    least a PowerPC/Pentium/68060. But on the other hand, Frodo can
    display raster effects correctly that only result in a flickering mess
    with other emulators.

    Frodo comes in three flavours: The "normal" Frodo with a line-based
    emulation, the improved line-based emulation "Frodo PC", and the
    single-cycle emulation Frodo SC that is slower but far more
    compatible.

    In addition to a precise 6510/VIC emulation, Frodo features a
    processor-level 1541 emulation that is even able to handle about 95%
    of all fast loaders. There is also a faster 1541 emulation for four
    drives in .d64/x64 disk images, .t64/LYNX archives, or directories of
    the host system.

    The current OpenBSD port does not support a joystick.

    Important: when sound is available, don't use `limit speed', as sound
    output will pace the emulator automatically, whereas `limit speed' will
    interfere and produce garbled output.
