Commodore 64 emulator out!

[bkammerer]

Hey guys,
Just found this in the app store, it is called Frodo. I just d/l it so I haven't tried any roms yet. It doesn't support the type/touch keyboard yet, you have to tap the upper part of the screen to bring up a virtual keyboard to type with. If you go to settings and then help it will take you to a vid of the developer running the program. He does say that he is working on getting the native keyboards running. Could be pretty cool after a couple of updates.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Edit: Just tried with a few games and it works. Definitely would be great if there was USB Xbox controller support, I hope it keeps evolving.

Is there a trick to get the ROMs to work? I got to mount the disk and navigate to the path where the ROM is but it doesn't see it. I tried both a .tap and T64 ROM.

I got the ROMs [Edit] these are .d64 ROMs and worked fine. The only problem I am having is that I can't figure out how to get games that are more than one disk to work. I really want to play Wasteland, Pirates, and Maniac Mansion but they all have a disk A, disk B file and I cannot figure out why these will not work. If anyone has gotten any of the multi-disk games to work please let me know how.

Please don't post links to sites containing roms etc.

If you open the charm bar and go to settings and then tap help, you will be taken to a page with some basic instructions and a web page where you can d/l .d64 ROMs.
