VICE derives from X64, the first Commodore 64 emulator for the X
25
Window System. Here is an informal list of the people who were mostly
26
involved in the development of X64 and VICE:
29
* Daniel Sladic started the work on hardware-level 1541 emulation
30
and wrote the new monitor introduced with VICE 0.15.
32
* Andreas Boose gave lots of information and bug reports about the
33
VIC-II, the 6510 and the CIAs; moreover, he wrote several
34
test-routines that were used to improve the emulation. He also
35
added cartridge support and has been the main head behind the
36
drive and datasette emulation since version 0.15. Also added
37
several UI elements to the MSDOS and MS-Windows ports. He rewrote
38
the C128 emulation adding Z80 mode, C64 mode and function ROM
41
* Dag Lem implemented the reSID SID emulation engine.
43
* Tibor Biczo improved the MS-Windows port.
45
* Andreas Dehmel wrote the Acorn RISC OS port.
47
* Thomas Bretz responsible for the OS/2 port.
49
* Andreas Matthies improved the datasette support, the VIC20 video
50
emulation and some ui stuff in the Win32 and MSDOS port. He also
53
* Martin Pottendorfer Implemented Gnome Port based on Oliver
54
Schaertels GTK+ port Added support code for internationalization
55
based on gettext Translated the Unix Port to German Implemented
56
the fliplists + ui (unix).
58
* Markus Brenner added VDC emulation to x128 and added support for
61
* Spiro Trikaliotis wrote the Win32 console implementation for the
62
built-in monitor and provided some further patches.
67
* Ettore Perazzoli Copyright (C) 1996-1999 Made the 6510, VIC-II,
68
VIC-I and CRTC emulations, part of the hardware-level 1541
69
emulation, speed optimizations, bug fixes, the event-driven
70
cycle-exact engine, the Xt/Xaw/Xfwf-based GUI for X11, a general
71
code reorganization, the new resource handling, most of the
72
documentation. He also wrote the MS-DOS port and the initial
73
MS-Windows port (well, somebody had to do it).
75
* Andr� Fachat Copyright (C) 1996-2001 Wrote the PET and CBM-II
76
emulators, the CIA and VIA emulation, the IEEE488 interface,
77
implemented the IEC serial bus in `xvic' and made tons of bug
80
* Teemu Rantanen Copyright (C) 1993-1994, 1997-1999 Implemented the
81
SID emulation and the trap-based disk drive and serial bus
82
implementation; added support for multiple display depths under
83
X11. Also wrote `c1541'
85
* Jouko Valta Copyright (C) 1993-1996 Wrote `petcat' and `c1541',
86
`T64' handling, user service and maintenance (most of the work in
87
x64 0.3.x was made by him); retired from the project in July 96,
90
* Jarkko Sonninen Copyright (C) 1993-1994 He was the founder of the
91
project, wrote the old version of the 6502 emulation and the
92
XDebugger, and retired from the project after x64 0.2.1.
95
External contributors:
97
* Michael Schwendt helped with the SID (audio) chip emulation,
98
bringing important suggestions and bug reports, as well as the
99
wave tables and filter emulation from his SIDplay emulator.
101
* Christian Bauer wrote the very interesting "VIC article" from
102
which we got invaluable information about the VIC-II chip: without
103
this, the VIC-II implementation would have not been possible.
105
* Wolfgang Lorenz wrote an excellent 6510 test suite that helped us
106
to debug the CPU emulation.
108
* Giuliano Procida is the maintainer of the VICE `deb' package for
109
the Debian distribution, and also helped proofreading the
112

114
* Chris Sharp wrote the AIX sound driver.
116
* Krister Walfridsson implemented joystick and sound support for
119

121
* Peter Andrew Felvegi aka Petschy fixed a couple of bugs in the
122
fast serial emulation.

132

133
