Go to https://github.com/abbruzze/kernal64/releases/latest and download and unzip on your computer the latest version. Be sure to have a jre (11 or above) in the path and launch:
- On Windows: k64.bat, kscpu64.bat, k128.bat, vic20.bat or cbm2.bat. If you want the shell support (for --help command line, for example) you should use --shell as first option.
- On Linux: k64.sh, kscpu64.sh, k128.sh, vic20.sh or cbm2.sh.
The scripts start java with the -server option for performance reason. It could happen that your Java installation does not support the server option. In this case edit the script and remove the -server option.
If you want to load a 16M REU modify the memory settings inside the start scripts: for example, you could set -Xmx128M.

- IEC Serial Bus
- Keyboard: for key mapping I'll provide documentation
- SID chip: for this chip I used the RSID Java library by Ken Händel
- Joystick emulation for port 1 and 2: the joystick can be emulated via keypad or via an USB real joystick (thanks to jinput library)
- Commodore 1351 mouse emulation
- Light pen emulation
- Datassette: full emulation using TAP file (read/write)
- 1541 Drive: exact cycle emulation (read/write) using 6502 CPU (1Mhz). Supports D64 and G64. In the Settings menù it's possible to turn off the full drive emulation and turn on the faster one. Only the G64 format can be formatted by Dos, while for the D64, the emulator intercepts the format routine call and bypasses it, using a pre-formatted empty disk.
- Local drive emulation on device 10: choose a local directory and let it your drive 10.
- Dropbox drive emulation on device 10: connect your Dropbox account to Kernal64 and let access it using device 10!
- Cartridges emulation (some CRT types are not emulated). Supports CRT format.
- MPS803 printer emulation. Preview panel updated while printing.
- Fast program loading of PRG/T64 local file or D64's file entry.
- Debug panel for main CPU and for 1541's cpu (break point, step by step execution, disassembler, assembler, etc.)
- Component panel: shows all internal components while running
- Drag & Drop support
- REU support (128,256,512,16M)
- Support for external roms, both for C1541 kernal and C64 kernal. The roms must be put in the roms directory. Use the switches -Dkernal=rom name and -D1541_kernal=rom name (you can put JiffyDOS ROMS here, for example, to use the fastloader).
- Support for 1541-VIA1 <-> CIA2 parallel cable, used by many fastloaders. Tested on Speed Dos and Dolphin Dos 2.
- Support for 1541's expanded memory (tested with Dolphin Dos 2).
- RS-232 3-way UserPort implementations useful to connect with BBS on internet. The Telnet implementation can be used to connect to a telnet server (like BBSs); the TCP implementation can be used to connect with a generic TCP/IP server. The File implementation can be used to read/write to local files.
- RS-232 SwiftLink cartridge implementation. Tried with NovaTerm 9.6 and other terminal software.
