MAME's license is not GPL compatible, therefore a large majority of open source emulators' source code (VICE, Dolphin, Yabause, to name 3) is off-limits to us. C64 does have a large chunk from the Frodo project by their permission, but until OG's very recent rewrite our 6502 wasn't accurate enough to make it really sing. Once Curt finishes that hookup compatibility should be very good, and with his recent gate-level 1541 emulation work copy protected disks should Just Work.
