E32FRODO

readme.txt E32Frodo version 0.25 --------------------- This is short instructions for how to use Frodo for Epoc32. Frodo is a Commodore 64 emulator written by Christian Bauer for Amiga, and ported to Epoc32 by Jal Panvel & Alfred E. Heggestad in the period Nov. 1999 to Jan 2000. Frodo is ported to many platforms, inluding Win32, Unix, Linux, BeOS, etc. The emulation is line-based, which means that a lot of demos which uses X-raster split will look ugly. But most of the games does not use these kinds of features... The SID-emulation is also skipped, but will be in the next version. =================== Important! =================== If you have a EPOC machine with 16 colors, try the e32frodo_v24_16colors.sis version If you have a EPOC machine with 256 colors, try the e32frodo_v24_256colors.sis version ==================== How to install ==================== Method 1: Start e32frodo_xxx.sis on your Windows PC.
