I am wondering whether it is possible for ViCE to support the Commodore 65 as an emulated platform. I have heard that the MESS-emulator supports the C65 but I rather like to use ViCE :).
Yep. The more the better. ViCE is just a wonderful piece of software, being a dignified replacement for original CBM-machines (together with a Catweasel-controller :)). Hope someone will add those 2 machines. I'd spend some money for that.

Someone would have to do this work, and I doubt there are many volunteers. BTW: *Which* C65 do you want to emulate? There are some variants out, and these are not completely compatible to each other. I doubt it will be possible to do so with a reasonable effort. The same goes for the LCD, BTW. I already asked for specific documentation for it, but it seems there is none. Thus, how do you want to emulate a machine you know next to knothing about?

if you have any questions about VICE I would suggest you join the vice ml and/or join irc on irc.freenode.net #vice-dev.
I/we are more than willing to integrate a (partially) working c65 emulator into the mainstream vice, provided you can select the version of the prototype it emulates (or mega65), like in the other emu's model selection.

Thanks! What I was looking at doing, was forking off the x64 target, and using the same framework that it has to allow selection of models. Initially, I expect that it would just have C65 PAL, based on the C65 that I used to own, and MEGA65.
If someone on the VICE team is willing, it would be great if they could set up the target in a fork of the source for me, so that I can focus on the C65 stuff, rather than have to start out by learning all the internals of VICE before being able to make a start.
Happy to be pointed to the mailing list. IRC may be more hit and miss for me, simply because I am in Australia on GMT+10.5 hours.

Support for the Commodore LCD laptop should also be added (even if partial) as well.

Yes, partial support for the Commodore LCD would be nice too - especially since ROM dumps for the system ROMs are out there.
BUT! One thing that should be relatively easy to add in VICE would be MOS Technology/Commodore KIM emulation.
Actually I'm a bit surprised KIM emulation hasn't been added - there is very little to it compared to the other systems VICE supports.
Hi all, I found a complete technical details about Commodore 65 with detailed hardware specifications:
http://www.zimmers.net/cbmpics/cbm/c65/c65manual.txt
someone did already an emulator.. http://devilmaster.altervista.org/hi65.html
Don't know if it works I did not try.
I hope this can help
Have a nice day
I'm taking a look implementing C65 support to VICE, as part of our MEGA65 project. No guarantees. Any offers of assistance welcome to spread the load.
