Dream64 v0.72b is released. Dream64 is a C64 emulator for Windows. Dream 64 is another C64 Emulator developped at spare time on spring 2008 by tprodigy1 (french developper). It is designed for Windows (XP/Vista/Seven) with DirectX installed. Dream64 is totally free, and developped just for fun. It can run most commercial games and a lot of tricky demos, by the way it is not yet as compatible as great emulators like Hoxs64 or CCS64 (my favorites, see links section).

Please have a look at the "features" section for more information on what Dream64 can or can´t do !

Here is a short summary of the main features of Dream64 :
* Cycle (almost) exact commodore 64 CPU´s emulation (PAL)
* Cycle exact VIC emulation, all graphic modes, sprites etc. (PAL)
* SID Emulation (filters are not implemented)
* One 1541 Drive (CPU emulated)
* Joystick emulation (you can "plug" one joystick on port 1 or 2 of the C64), use the numeric Pad or a real PC GamePad.
* Direct3D display with bilinear filtering and fullscreen mode (ALT+Enter)
* Auto load function (tries to load a disk or tape image automatically )
* A very primitive debugger for C64 CPU and 1541 CPU
* PRG P00 D64 T64 file support

Some of the missing features:
* A perfect timing...
* Complete IRQ handling
* Emulation of more than one 1541 drive
* Emulation of 2 joysticks at a time
* Mouse emulation
* NTSC timing
* SID filters for better sound
* A GUI for replacing menus
* Command line arguments to launch games on a double-click
* A configuration panel (to enable / disable sound, set display size and so on)
* Save state feature
* Cartridge image support
* And a lot more.....

Features that should be added shortly
* Command line arguments to launch games on a double-click
* A GUI for replacing menus (usefull in fullscreen mode)
* SID filters for better sound
