INTRODUCTION
------------

  Welcome to the world of CCS64. This a software emulator for the
Commodore 64 computer. You may say this is not the first program trying
to emulate the C64. But this is planned to be the final C64 emulator. I
have worked in several years with this product, studying the C64 into its
innermost secrets. This shareware version should run perfectly with all
one-parted games or demos.

INFORMATION
-----------

The emulation of the C64 computer supports:

* 100% 6510 CPU. All imaginable programs should work. The emulation of CPU
  is cycle exact and considers all strange side-effects.

* 100% 6567 VIC - PAL. All imaginable graphics modes and effect should work.
  The emulation of VIC is pixel exact and considers all strange effects,
  both known and unknown, as it emulates the inner workings of the VIC chip.

* 6581 SID. Nearly 100% except for filters. The emulation of SID is cycle
  exact and constructs fully synthetic samples in 8 or 16 bits resolution.

* 100% 6526 CIAS. All features of the I/O circuits. The emulation of CIA is
  cycle exact.

* C64 Keyboard. All keys including Restore.


To make it easier to use the program supports:

* Sound output for Soundblaster or Ultrasound in quality up to the maximum
  the soundcard manages (45454 Hz in 16 bit).

* 'Reset and Load' of one-parted programs in .PRG or .T64 file formats.

* Screen snap-shot, saves an image of the whole current C64 screen
  (504x312 pixels).
