Emulation Window


The emulation window displays the C64 graphics and receives the keyboard input.

If the “Show Speed and Drive LED Status” setting is enabled, Frodo uses the lower border of the C64 display to overlay some information about the emulation speed (unless it is running at 100%) and a representation of the activity and error status of the emulated disk and tape drives.

You can drag and drop .d64/.g64 disk image files, .tap tape image files, or Frodo snapshot files onto the emulation window to mount the image in drive 8 or 1, or restore the snapshot state, respectively. You can also drop folders to mount them in drive 8 in directory mode.

Dropping a .crt cartridge image file onto the window “inserts” the cartridge and also resets the C64 to allow the cartridge software to start. Finally, you can drop C64 BASIC program files to directly load them into the memory of the C64 (enter “RUN” to start a program after loading).
