Ok I have wanted to find a really good and EASY TO USE
emulator for old commodore 64 games. Now I had tried this a
couple of years ago and just could not figure out how to
install successfully and/or use once it was installed.

I guess I am asking for anyones advice on a good emulator
for a beginner in using them? ANY help would be
appreciated...
In the end I want to be able to play
the games HERE

thanks everyone.

some I cannot and that is where I am stumped.

Maybe I am just not trying hard enough.

I never even heard of commodore 64's until I read about them
on the internet. Many people seem quite fondly nostalgic of
them. I've still never used one but plan to buy one someday
and maybe program games on it. My suggestion is just to buy
a genuine commodore 64 on ebay. That's what I'll do
eventually. Did this come out before NES or something? Could
these things even handle a simple nes game like... double
dragon or something?

They were the equivalent of Spectrums in their day.
Technically superior (especially their sound- you can still
buy brand new hardware with SID chips in...), but the games
were far inferior and generally speaking, C64 owners were
not as cool as ZX Spectrum owners.

Hmm.Try this page.c64emu

It's a tiny download for the emulator and it's piss easy to
use.When the emu loads you might be wondering where all the
options are but hit f9 and there you go.Just browse to where
you saved your roms and select from there.k.If you do get
stuck there's a good faq.

ccs64 .. thats the one you want

heres the games archive ive been using .. seems to have just
about all of them!

c64unlimited.com

i do have a question tho .. most emulators ive come across
(including ccs64) do not allow you to play games that
require a flip or change of the disk. any clues? i notice
ccs64 has the option for drives 8 + 9 so i wonder if thats
part of a solution ..
