Commberry 64

Last update 2019

Commberry64 is a tribute to the Commodore 64 home computer from the 1980s.

Technically Commberry64 is a Linux distribution for the Raspberry Pi single board computer which boots directly into a C64 emulation mode. Your Raspberry Pi will act like your Commodore 64 in former times.

Thus you can play, program or make any serious office work 

Commberrry64 is intentionally based on the official Raspian distribution from the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

The term Commberry64 is composed from the words “Commodore 64” and “Raspberry Pi”.

WHAT ELSE?

Once you have plugged in your Raspberry Pi, Commberry64 boots super fast into the C64 emulation.

Your disk or tape images on an USB stick are automatically synchronized into corresponding folders used by the emulator once the USB stick is inserted.

The emulation runs with a dedicated operating system user. This makes the whole environment less prone to mistakes or software Bugs.

INTERNALS

There’s a clean segregation of the software originally delivered with Raspian and the the additional software needed around the C64 emulation.

Under the hood works x64, one of the most famous, featured and accurate emulators for Linux and a lot of other operating systems. x64 is part of the VICE project.

Commberry64 comes with the the up to date VICE 3.2 based on SDL 2.0.8.

BMPET

Last update 2020

BMPET is a bare metal PET Emulator (using VICE) for the Raspberry Pi (Models 2 & 3). There is no bloated O/S to boot and the emulator has direct access to hardware resulting in better performance than the Linux based distributions. VICE dependencies are satisfied using circle-stdlib.

BMPET Setup

Setup is similar to BMC64 except the ROM files are different and must reside in a PET/ directory:

The emulator will not run without them. These are available from any VICE tar ball PET/data directory.

Combian 64

Last update 2023

Combian 64 is Raspberry Pi distribution able to boot your preferite Commodore machine in just few seconds.

It uses the brand new compiled version of Vice 3.1 to emulate all the Commodore Machines set.

By default, Combian 64 boots the Commodore 64 emulator, but it’s not the only one included in the distro….what if you want to emulate a Commodore Vic 20?

Easy answer! 

By quitting the emulator (pressing key F8), typing ‘menu’ command from the shell, you have access to the internal Combian 64 menu which will allow you to change options like: emulator to run at boot, run raspi-config command, reboot your Raspberry Pi, shutdown, or even run again the emulator.

CPC-PI

Last update 2015

CPC-Pi is an image for RaspberryPI and based on Raspbian and designed to natively emulate our Amstrad CPC. We will only have to mount this small Linux distribution on a small SD card. Once this is done, we introduce it into our RPI and we can see it after starting our expected blue screen.

If you have ever thought about putting an RPI in a rickety CPC, this would undoubtedly be one of the best options. CPC-PI is the work of Edu Arana.

BMC64

Last update 2022

The surprising thing about this system is its loading speed, in 4 seconds we have a fully operational Commodore 64. But it is also perfectly adapted with low latency between audio and video and improved synchronization. It also allows you to directly shut down the raspberry if you need to use a shutdown command. On the other hand, it also allows the use of the Gpio to connect both a joystick and an original keyboard.

As for the loading of games, it must be done in the corresponding directory (tape, cartridge, disk) of the SD card. Does not accept external charge.

CBM-PI 1541

Last update 2021

Pi1541 is a real-time, cycle exact, Commodore 1541 disk drive emulator that can run on a Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+ or 3A+.

Since V1.21 there are versions that run on an overclocked Raspberry Pi 0. Others have even had success running the PI0 version on an overclocked original Pi1.

Commodore 1581 emulation supported since V1.13 and V1.22 for the Pi Zero!

The software is free and I have endeavored to make the hardware as simple and inexpensive as possible.

Pi1541 provides you with an SD card solution for using D64, D81, G64, NIB and NBZ Commodore disk images on real Commodore 8 bit computers such as:
