Minimal line-based Commodore 64 emulator that emulates just enough to run the recent Covert Bitops C64 games (Hessian, Steel Ranger...) This is a C++ / Emscripten port that runs on web pages.
The original "oldschoolengine" ran on GameBoy Advance to run Metal Warrior 4, and it used a custom API for graphics, sound and file access. In contrast, this project emulates a limited subset of an actual C64, so that the game can run unmodified.
Features:
- CPU emulation based on EMU6502 code by Yve Verstrepen
- Parts of SID emulation (noise, filter) based on jsSID by Mihaly Horvath
- Emscripten build system & OpenGL initialization based on tiny_chess by Jukka Jylänki
- Line-based VIC-II rendering
- Raster interrupt + partial CIA1 Timer A emulation
- Joystick port 2 control with arrows + ctrl as fire button
- Keyboard input
- D64 & D81 image support, loading / saving via minimal (and incorrect) Kernal routine traps
- Save file persistence
TODO:
- Full key mappings
