Every once in a while I look at emulators of the Commodore 64. I really liked my C64 and have two in the attic, one of which runs (or at least it ran the last time I tried it.

There is an amazing amount of activity here — several projects that run on most major current OSes.

But I also found one that runs on a Nokia cellphone.

I got on this topic partly because I’m using emulated machines more and more at work; primarily VMWare so far but also MS Virtual Server. I have Virtual PC for my Mac.

I was sort of slow to realize how cool this can be for software development and testing.

I’m sure I could run a Windows or Linux version of the C64 emulator inside a VMWare machine.

I wonder who holds the record for the most levels of emulation (on top of each other).
