Vice3DS-C128 is an emulator for the Commodore 128, also known as the C128, C-128, C=128, or occasionally CBM 128. It is the last 8-bit home computer that was commercially released by Commodore Business Machines (CBM). Introduced in January 1985 at the CES in Las Vegas, it appeared three years after its predecessor, the bestselling Commodore 64. | |||

==Installation== | |||
Available in 3DSX format. | |||
Copy .3dsx file to /3ds/vice3ds/ on your SD card and launch in Homebrew Launcher. | |||
'''Note:''' If you have an older version (before 1.5) of vice3DS C64-emulator installed already, make sure to delete the config directory on your SD-card /3ds/vice3ds/config/ before starting the emulator.

==User guide== | |||
The UI and button mappings are mostly the same as the C64 emulator. | |||
Only the soft keyboard has slightly changed and there is a new soft button to switch between 40- and 80-columns mode (which simulates the hardware switch on your C128 monitor). | |||

Vice3DS-C128 is an emulator for the Commodore 128, also known as the C128, C-128, C=128, or occasionally CBM 128. It is the last 8-bit home computer that was commercially released by Commodore Business Machines (CBM). Introduced in January 1985 at the CES in Las Vegas, it appeared three years after its predecessor, the bestselling Commodore 64.
This is a port of the Versatile Commodore Emulator - VICE C128 emulator to 3DS, as a spin-off to the vice3DS C64 emulator.
Installation
Available in 3DSX format.
Copy .3dsx file to /3ds/vice3ds/ on your SD card and launch in Homebrew Launcher.
Note: If you have an older version (before 1.5) of vice3DS C64-emulator installed already, make sure to delete the config directory on your SD-card /3ds/vice3ds/config/ before starting the emulator. Otherwise new config settings, hotkeys and key mappings will not be updated and will not work.
User guide
The UI and button mappings are mostly the same as the C64 emulator.
Only the soft keyboard has slightly changed and there is a new soft button to switch between 40- and 80-columns mode (which simulates the hardware switch on your C128 monitor).
