Pocket Commodore 64 Emulator

For anyone wanting to bring back the C-64 memories without looking for one on Ebay you could simply use Pocket Commodore 64.

“Not everyone has the time or skill to hack together their own “real” Commodore 64 palmtop computer. Luckily, clickgamer.com offers the $24.95 Pocket Commodore 64 emulator for Windows Mobile. This software includes full Commodore 64 hardware emulation, stereo SID sound, keypad to C64 keyboard mapping, multiple built-in BIOS ROMS, switchable NTSC and PAL timing, and true 1541 floppy drive emulation so that many classic copy-protected games will run (I wonder if you can simulate the 1541’s “click of death”?)”
