Cloanto C64 Forever 10.2.8 Plus Edition

Commodore launched the C64 in 1982 and it instantly set the standard for home 8-bit computers. The C64's low price, superior graphics, high-quality sound, and 64 KB RAM made it the clear winner of the home computer wars. It beat out Atari, Texas Instruments and Apple, and even defeated IBM and Sinclair.

The C64, which sold over 30,000,000 units and introduced a generation to computers and computer programming, shook the video game industry and ignited cultural phenomena like computer music and demoscene. The C64 has experienced a remarkable revival in recent years, manifesting once again as retrocomputing.

Cloanto has created C64 Forever to allow you experience and relive this unique computer. Cloanto is a developer of Commodore/Amiga Software since the 1980s. C64 Forever is the official CBM 8 bit preservation, emulation, and support package. C64 Forever is a user-friendly player interface that comes with a database of more than 5,000 C64 games. Support for the innovative RP9 formats allows advanced title authoring and preservation, as well as easy cross-platform playing.

C64 Forever uses the same RetroPlatform player family, database and content-management components as the highly successful Amiga Forever Series. It also represents decades of refinement and experience, as well as a tradition for innovation, long-term continuity, and support.

C64 Forever is unique in comparison to other solutions available for different systems. It has features such as the following.
Easy setup: It only takes a couple of mouse clicks to run and install (no extra downloads are required).
A simple, intuitive and refined interface in which the player, content, search and database are all seamlessly integrated. (Not just a front end that launches an external emulator.)
Each emulated computer model has an accurate onscreen keyboard with custom mapping options and shortcuts.
Custom keyboard layouts and general game controller customization, including Xbox, X-Arcade, and I-PAC controllers.
All 8-bit models can be edited with the click of a virtual mouse
Support for the innovative RP9 Format (one-click play, only one file per title; no need to unzip or zip games, or manage multiple disk images etc.).
You can edit and create your own titles and run them at any time and anywhere (RP9 files do not require a database).
The Superior RP9 Title editor combines advanced configuration options and professional content authoring capabilities
The configuration editor is designed to eliminate "impossible scenarios" from the start, rather than requiring a high level of technical knowledge to avoid configurations that don't work.
Support for other popular formats such as tapes, disks, cartridges, and save states, including options to identify similar variants that are not catalogued (not just a "checksum" method).
RetroPlatform Library: Thousands of titles with online updates.
Conversion between the host (PC keyboard) and guest (emulation character set) using Unicode.
C64 Forever is similar to Amiga Forever.
Integration with social networks such as Facebook, Discord, etc. Updates to "Now Playing", manual posts, and screenshot uploads
Search as you type for installed content, and a custom one-click search of the internet for games and demoscenes.
Official CBM emulator with legal CBM system Roms
Windows 10 (x86/x64) tested.
