Hoxs64

Hoxs64 is one of the top rated emulators for Commodore 64. It runs on Microsoft Windows 10, yet it can be run on Linux systems through a different emulator, which will most likely slow everything down. The emulator brings in the Commodore 64 experience in the smallest details. It is still being maintained and new versions pop up on a regular basis. The latest one was released in the summer of 2020.

Hoxs64 comes with a plethora of features that will entice Commodore 64 users. Most importantly, it brings in a cycle based CPU, SID, CIA and VIC. It also has a classic 1541 disk drive, tape deck and the possibility to run applications in the full screen mode. Users can configure the keyboard and joystick too, while the support for D64, G64 and PRG files is certainly a plus – among many other formats. The program is available for free.
