VICE is a program that runs on a Unix, MS-DOS, Win32, OS/2, Acorn RISC OS, BeOS, QNX 4.x, QNX 6.x, Amiga, GP2X, Dingoo, 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, almost all PET models, the PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610).

(16 Nov 2012) Version 2.4 released
Anyway, we probably 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. 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)
Before contacting us, have a look at the VICE knowledge base 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.
Please put the word VICE in all capitals in your subject line (e.g. VICE fails to run game XXX). This helps mail splitting and reduces chances that your message is unintentionally deleted, forgotten or lost.
Here are some documents that come with 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! |
