Version 1.15 of VICE, released 27 August, 2004, emulates the Commodore 64, the C128, the VIC-20, the Plus/4, and all the PET models including the CBM-II but excluding the 'non-standard' features of the SuperPET 9000. VICE for Microsoft Windows (Win32) is known as WinVICE, the OS/2 variant is called Vice/2, and the emulator running on BeOS is, not surprisingly, called BeVICE. WinVICE supports old-fashion digital joysticks via a parallel port driver, and, with a CatWeasel PCI card, is planned to perform hardware SID playback (requires optional SID chip installed in socket).
