Use Power20 to run Commodore VIC-20 software on your PowerMac.
Here are some key features of "Power20":
MOS 6502 CPU Emulation (incl. Illegal Opcodes)
VIC (Video/Sound IC) Emulation (Video: Scanline-Based, incl. all Video Modes; Complete Sound Emulation)
VIA Emulation (Timers, Interrupts)
Optional Original VIC-20 Keyboard Layout or Macintosh Keyboard Layout
Joystick (both via real ADB Joystick and Keyboard mapping), Paddles and Lightpen emulated
CPU Level 1541 Floppy Disk Emulation. Can handle most fast-loaders and special floppy tricks
ROM Level 1541 Disk Drive emulated (*.D64, *.X64 and ZipCode files supported) for fast and easy disk access
Direct Access to Macintosh File System (both *.C64 and *.P00 files supported)
Tape Drive (Datasette) emulated (*.T64 and Lynx files)
TapeDisk: *.T64 and Lynx files can also be used on disk drives
Automatic expansion of ZIP, GZ and LHA compressed Disk or Tape images. No need to expand compressed images from CD-ROM to harddisk. Just run them from the CD. Power20 can also write GZ files, saving space on the Mac HD
Printer Emulation (Text only).
Limitations:
10 minutes time limit.
What's New:
Improved Timing when Power20 is used with Sound Emulation on Classic MacOS
Fixed a bug that caused menus to become disabled without good cause.
Fixed a bug that caused the Finder to become upset when dragging files from a disk image to the desktop.
The Directory window are now properly updated after a drag.
The decoder for TAP-files was fitted with tighter restrictions on the amount of tape speed adjustment, so that it will no longer get carried away when a tape has long streams of extremly fast pulses (Supremacy.tap).
Power20 no longer crashes when saving files with wildcards to a floppy disk.
When selecting an item from a menu in Full Screen mode, with an automatically hidden menu bar/dock, it could happen, that the menu bar was hidden while the user was still picking an item. Hiding is now delayed until the user is done making his choice.
Most Internet-links in the Help Menu were broken. This has been fixed.
