Frodo is a free, portable Commodore 64 emulator that runs on a variety of platforms, with a focus on the exact reproduction of special graphical effects possible on the C64.
Frodo comes in two flavours: The regular "Frodo" which uses a cycle-exact emulation, and the simplified "Frodo Lite" which is less compatible but runs better on slower machines.
Frodo emulates the hardware of an original, breadbin-style, PAL region C64. In addition to a precise 6510/VIC emulation, Frodo features a full, processor-level 1541 floppy drive emulation that is able to handle most fast
loaders. There is also an alternative, faster 1541 emulation of four drives in .d64/.x64 disk images, .t64/LYNX archives, or directories of the host file system.
Frodo runs on a variety of systems. The “core” distribution of Frodo available from GitHub and the Frodo homepage is targeted at platforms supported by the SDL2 framework.
Ports of older versions of Frodo to other platforms, including Mac OS X, mobile devices, and game consoles, are maintained by independent developer groups. Most of these are linked to from the Frodo homepage.
