- the Versatile Commodore EmulatorVICE is a program that runs on a Unix, MS-DOS, Win32, OS/2, BeOS, QNX 4.x, QNX 6.x, Amiga, Syllable or Mac OS X machine and executes programs intended for the old 8-bit computers. The current version emulates the C64, the C64DTV, the C128, the VIC20, practically all PET models, the PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610/C510). An extra emulator is provided for C64 expanded with the CMD SuperCPU.

We always need more help to keep all things going, so here is the usual call for volunteers... ;-) If you like to join our group, and help us in any way , please send a mail to vice-emu-mail@lists.sourceforge.net or catch us in #vice-dev on Libera.Chat IRC. Anyone interested in helping development of VICE is welcome. Please contact us to avoid doing something that someone else has done already. (-: (You might also want to have a look at our TODO list)
There is also an official-inoffical VICE Discord server that some of us idle in, feel free to join and say hi.
Before contacting us, have a look at the the VICE Manual if your question is answered there. Keep in mind that we work on VICE in our spare-time, so the more time we don't need to answer the same questions over and over again, the more time we have to improve the emulation itself. On the other hand, that does not mean that you should not contact us, especially if you find bugs or have suggestions which might improve the emulation. The list of already known BUGS is also available.
You can download the latest VICE distribution here. If you want to help improving the official ports and/or want to provide binaries, please get in touch with us. Occasionally we might upload unofficial test builds here.
We recommend the GTK3 user interface over SDL2.
Binaries of even older releases can be found on http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/crossplatform/emulators/VICE.

| We are proud that VICE has been selected as the "best software innovation of the last few years" of the Dutch Commodore user group. Fabrizio Gennari was able to attend the ceremony and took the medal in the name of the whole VICE team. We are very proud of it, as it tells us how much you, the users, value our work. Thank you very much! |
