Commodore's first colour home computer and the first to sell a million units. Its 5 KB of RAM and 22-column screen were stretched with cartridges and memory expansions.
6 emulators
Cloanto's Windows distribution built on VICE, with an integrated player, title editor and single-file RP9 packaging, legal ROMs for the C64 and other Commodore 8-bit machines, and over 200 preinstalled games and demos.
A VICE-based Commodore emulator for Android, part of the EmuEx family, with modules for the C64, C128, VIC-20, Plus/4 and PET, configurable on-screen controls and Bluetooth/USB gamepad support.
A multi-machine emulator that aims to be invisible: open a disk or tape image and it picks the machine. The CPC, Spectrum and Atari ST are mature; Amiga and early PC support is less complete.
A VIC-20 emulator written in Java with libGDX, aimed mainly at the browser and mobile devices. It installs as a PWA, has a built-in games menu and can load programs straight from a URL.
The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, a long-running project to document and preserve arcade hardware that covers thousands of boards and, since absorbing MESS, many computers and consoles as well.
The Versatile Commodore Emulator. It covers the C64, C128, VIC-20, PET, Plus/4 and CBM-II, with true drive emulation, a built-in monitor and a large set of peripherals.
Nothing matches those filters. Know one we're missing? Add it.
Mini consoles and FPGA hardware that play VIC-20 software. About hardware
An FPGA board designed by Till Harbaum to re-create the Amiga and Atari ST, later joined by many 8-bit computer, console and arcade cores. It loads software from an SD card and has analog video output.

The Intel Cyclone V SoC development board that the MiSTer project is built on. Most MiSTer cores also need an add-on SDRAM board, and analog video needs an I/O board.
A low-cost MiST-compatible FPGA board designed by Manuel Fernández Higueras, with a Cyclone IV FPGA, USB ports for controllers and VGA output. MiST cores are resynthesised for it.

A full-size Commodore 64 replica with a working keyboard. Its emulator can switch between C64 and VIC-20 modes.
A full-size VIC-20 replica with a working keyboard and switchable VIC-20 and C64 modes.
A low-cost FPGA board from Retro Remake that is compatible with the DE10-Nano used by the MiSTer project. It is sold in production batches, bundled with SDRAM and, in larger packs, an analog I/O board and USB hub.
The successor to the SiDi, a MiST-family FPGA board with a larger Cyclone 10 LP FPGA and two SDRAM chips, adding HDMI, optical audio and joystick ports.
A ready-built console from Heber that runs the open-source MiSTer FPGA project, with 128 MB SDRAM on board so it plays all standard MiSTer cores. The Analogue model adds RGB and VGA outputs and a cartridge expansion slot.
A MiSTer-compatible FPGA console from Retro Remake styled after the PSone, with ports for original PlayStation controllers and memory cards. It runs the MiSTer cores for other consoles and computers too.
