Denise 1.0.7 Preview (2020-01-02)

Description

Denise is a cycle accurate and platform independant c64 / amiga emulator. My motivation for this project is understanding how it works and write clean and easy readable code. I dont't sacrifice accuracy or code readability for excecution speed, so you need a fast machine to get it fullspeed. The project is influenced by the design of the emulator higan.

Denise supports Light Guns/Pens, GunStick, Mouse 1351, Mouse Neos, Paddles.Now I have added PAL and CRT emulation, drag'n'drop and command line support.

Denise consists of 4 main modules.

"guikit"
"driver"
"emulation" could be used in any other project
"program" links these modules together.

Features

emulation
cross platform: win 32/64 ( >=XP ), osx, linux
cycle accurate
Dynamic Rate Control
PAL, CRT Emulation
