  • VIA Emulation (Timers, Interrupts)
  • Optional Original VIC-20 Keyboard Layout or Macintosh Keyboard Layout
  • Joystick (both via real ADB Joystick and Keyboard mapping), Paddles and Lightpen emulated

What's New
Version 4.9.5:
  • The fonts in the directory and debugger window are now scalable, to accomodate high-res screens, where 9-point Monaco is simply to hard to read.
  • Sound Output is broken on some Macs. This used to cause extremly fast emulation in Power20. While the root cause of this bug is still not understood, Power20 now detects the problem and safely falls back to mute emulation.
  • Power20 sometime had trouble mounting disks via Drag&Drop. This bug has been fixed.
  • Power20 no longer crashes when saving/loading RAM Images even if disk/tape images are attached.
  • Added Support for Gamepads
  • Power20 no longer crashes when drawing screens in black/white mode.
  • Minor Bugfix for Joystick Support in MacOS 10.4.9
  • Lots of links in the documentation have been updated/fixed.

I have owned Power20 and Power64 for over 5 years now and I have never regretted my purchase. Power20 faithfully reproduces the Vic20 for anyone wishing to relive those days. If you are looking to emulate a Vic20, this might be the best option on any modern computing platform.

This is a faithful, fast, and quite usable VIC-20 emulator

Interface is much better than previous versions, as is speed.

The screensaver mode is quie cute.

All in all, it's nice to see this emulator come into the 21st century.
