Cool!!!

http://www.dreamfabric.com/c64/

Cut & Paste from the web site,

JaC64 - Java based Commodore 64 Emulator

JaC64 is completely written in Java and can be run from a modern web browser like Firefox, InternetExplorer or Netscape Navigator. During the development I have been reading a lot of very good documentation on the commodore 64 on the Internet, thanks to all people that made those available ! (many of the documents can be found at ftp.funet.fi/pub/cbm).

Supported features
CPU 6510, most of the 6510/02 instructions
RAM/ROM and Bank Switching (ROM - on / off, IO on / off)
Interrupts (IRQ, NMI) from Scan, CIA timers, etc.
VIC Graphics (text modes, hi-res, multicolor) - now line-based, sprites (normal, expanded, multicolor, collisions)
SID (6581) Sound (Bad implementation, and only works with JDK1.3)
CIA - timers
Keyboard & Joystick
Support for .c64 .prg/p00 and .t64 files

Known bugs
Some instructions might be incorrect (some games and demos does not work)
CIAs is not 100% implemented
SID chip has no filters yet (and sounds a bit bad).

Impressive!!

but how legal is it to have C64 games on the site?!? How about the copyright?

I know that some developers like Jeff Minter (http://www.llamasoft.co.uk/) has released his old games for C64 and Amiga as freeware.

Genesis emulated in Java

This is for real.
We have got the first working Genesis emulator ever written in Java.

Everything is emulated, including Motorola 68000 CPU core, Zilog Z80, Genesis Video Display Processor, Yamaha YM2612 and Texas Instruments SN76496.

Compatibility is good, really, really good, as you can see in the screenshots.

Wow!

Okey, so we have some use for Java in the end... that's good. The language wasn't a waste of time.

You should download the site content, HTTtrack works well and is free (opensource).
