Is the basic file the emulator or is an application to use inside it?. I could not get any info about that on the git repository.
Thanks in advance!!!

It is the emulator. It is written in FreeBASIC.

Nice but since the C64 didn't have 32-bit colour I don't see the point. Guess I don't really see the point of runnng a C64 emulator either if the host machine has superior features. However if they can make it into a real machines that's another story.

I think as a project is a nice academic exercise.

But the best features of the C64 were the 64K the VIC-II and the SID. Since this does not emulate two out of three, is it still an emulator?

To be fair there have been a number of attempt to emulate the C64 with an Amiga, ever since the A1000 came out. Based on the reported results it seems that some were OK, and some failed miserably.

The same for attempting to emulate the SID.

A c64 emulator that can't emulate a sid or vicII.
Would your project be better described as a c64 looking skin for {insert DVD player here}?
Font get the point if it is to be called an emulator. Does it run c64 demos, games or contiki ?

It runs any program that does not use SID or VIC-II.

You are more than welcome to convert it to VB.net:

project-manhattan/c64dvd.bas

Emulator running Commodore BASIC V2 Program.
