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).

(* Up to and including the now obsolete version 1.14 of VICE, Mac OS X was supported as well.)

Commodore: Commodore has several meanings:...

8-bit: 8-bit CPUs normally use an 8-bit data bus and a 16-bit address bus which means that their address space is limited to 64 kilobytes; this is not a "natural law", however, and thus there are exceptions....
