EmuCR:CCS64 CCS64 v3.8 is released. CCS64 is a Commodore 64 Emulator for PC and also in the future other platforms. It was developed by me, Per HÃ¥kan Sundell, as my Master Thesis at my university in 1995 and have been expanded a lot since then. My personal interest in the C64 has been very intensive since 1983 when I was spending nearly all my time with it, and I was deeply involved in the so called "Scene". When I later in 1987 bought my Amiga 500, I missed the old good times I had with my C64 and since then I have tried my very best to make all the old programs to work on my new machines. One of my first attempts was to resurrect the old C64 music, the famous SID chip. In 1990 I and Ron Birk released a demo called "100 most remembered C64 tunes" which was very popular, and in 1991 we released the very first tool for Amiga called "PlaySID" which later inspired a lot of similar programs on other platforms.

CCS64 is shareware. This means that the program is free to use and to copy, but if you like it and use it regularly I would appreciate that you would register the program. The reason for this is that I have spent countless of hours of making and maintaining CCS64, and without some contribution from you, it would be completely impossible for me to continue with developing it, besides my efforts to make my living and being with my family. I used to be at the university, since 1999 I was a Ph.D. student researching in parallel programming. Now I have finished my Ph.D. and turned to more practical programming work. I am currently working hard with starting up a company (Parallel Scalable Solutions) offering practical implementations based on my research results. So far, having been a student for a very long time, I haven't really made it up economically so its really thanks to all the people (about 400 in total since 1995 - which have given me in total $5400 after tax) that have contributed with registering so far that it is possible for me to have quite up-to-date computer equipment. Other benefits with registering, except from making me very happy is that there probably will be (and already are) special features in the program that are only for registered users. And while considering implementing new ideas and improvements, the suggestions that I get from registered users are of course considered at highest priority.

CCS64 is a program that runs on your PC that turns your computer into an old Commodore 64 computer. This means that the program simulates, or rather emulates the old computer, enabling you to run most of the old software you had for that old machine, running it just like it would in the past. Of course there are some small differences compared to the real thing, but my goal has been to minimize the differences as much as it is possible.

CCS64 v3.8 Changelog:
- FIX: Fixed a bug in the sprite-to-sprite collision-detection register.
- FIX: Fixed a bug with the ´Windows´ menu Options -> Video behaviour.
- FIX: Made the graphics-drawing routines multi-threaded, for better performance.
- FIX: Fixed a bug which caused the QuickLoad/QuickSave features to hang.
- ADD: Two new Filter options, called CRT Television and CRT Monitor, which work only with the Window 2x screen mode and not with any other non-default video settings. These new Filter options include the after-lightening effect.
- INF: CCS64 V3.7 was compiled with Visual Studio 2008, which led to an in-compatibility with Windows 98/ME, but greater compatibility with Windows 7; when previous versions were compiled with Visual Studio 2005, this had the opposite effect.
