Type:     misc/emu
Version:  2.3
Requires: AmigaOS 2.1, 68020

Frodo is a multitasking freeware C64 emulator for the Amiga and
DraCo. OS2.1 and a 68020 (or better) are required, as well as copies
of the original C64 ROMs, which are not included.

This emulator focuses on the exact reproduction of special graphical
effects possible on the 64, and has therefore relatively high system
requirements. Using a 68060-50 and a CyberVision card gives about
140-160% of the original C64 speed in standard text mode in the
emulation's most precise mode and about 700% in its fastest mode.

Using a line-based VIC model, Frodo is capable of running most games
and demos correctly, even those with FLI, FLD, DYCP, open top/bottom
borders, multiplexed sprites etc. A single-cycle version of the
emulator, "Frodo SC", is included that runs even those programs that
fail on the line-based emulation.

A graphics card (any one whose modes are selectable with a screenmode
requester will do) is strongly recommended for faster display as the
emulator's routines have been designed for a chunky display memory.

Some small demo programs and the full source code in C and assembly
language are included in the archive.

Changes from V2.2:
 - Corrected SAM VIC display mode display
 - Emulation of SDR interrupt (CIA serial port)
 - Included M-W command in D64 routines
 - Fixed a bug in CIA-A PRA read
 - STA Abs,X/Y to a CIA ICR clear the interrupt
 - F9 is now used to trigger an NMI
 - Added menu shortcut Amiga-P for opening the settings window
 - '+'/'-' on the numerical keypad increase/decrease the "Every (n)th
   frame" setting
 - The Help key toggles the "Swap joysticks" setting
 - The Tab key is a shortcut for RUN/STOP-RESTORE
