Hannu Viitala's Commodore 64 emulator will let users of Nokia's 7650 and 3650 smartphones experience a bit of nostalgia wherever, whenever.
Originally created by Christian Bauer for the Amiga platform, another independent developer has now carried on work on the Frodo Commodore 64 emulator to make it compatible with Series 60-based smartphones such as the Nokia 7650 and Nokia 3650. With the advent of Frodo for Series 60, owners of these phones can get a quick nostalgia fix whenever they want to.
Also available in a version for the Series 80-based Nokia 9200 range of Communicators, the Frodo emulator is open source and as such can be ported to new platforms by means of relatively small efforts. Independent developer Hannu Viitala is responsible for porting the emulator to the Series 60 platform, introducing features such as full-screen emulation (with horizontal compression), emulation of both C64 joystick ports, mapping of the most important C64 keys to the keypad and text input via a dialog box.
The emulator also supports 16 KHz audio and automatically locates games sent to the device Inbox in Messaging, and features a dialog box that would theoretically enable users to write entire programs in the original programming language of the Commodore 64: CBM Basic.
Frodo for Series 60 is now available as a free download from Hannu Viitala's web site.
