A Retro guy Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 so i kinda want to emulate the commordore 64 in retroarch i have heard that one of the vice cores is the best option or something like that my problem is that it seems like i might need some bios to even run commordore 64 in retroarch with one of the vice cores and i don't want to scour the internet for bios that i won't even find but their is the frodo core witch does not need bios or anything like that to run commordore 64 games it's just that i'm not sure it is a really good core to emulate commordore 64 compared to the vice cores so can you pls tell me if frodo is a really good core to emulate commordore 64 in retroarch pls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 The Vice core doesn't need a BIOS unless you are trying to use JiffyDOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although some games may require slow True Drive Emulation enabled) Edited October 3, 2020 by Headrush69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Never heard of a BIOS for C64? That would be strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm8873 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I use Vice for my Commodore 8bit machine emulation and those cores are great in Retroarch. Vice is also available as a stand alone emulator also. I have never seen a BIOS needed for any C64 emulator on any platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
