The state of C64 support
11/27/19 11:36 PM


I'm curious about the state and direction of Commodore 64 support in MAME.

I was looking over the files and noticed that there's only around 900 files for the C64, while Gamebase64 has over 25,000 and other sites have much more than MAME as well.

While it's easy enough to add more files for the C64, I was curious if there was a discussion on criteria for inclusion in MAME? I know a lot of the files out there are cracks for example, I'm curious if that disqualifies them from official consideration and only original images are desired?

I'm also curious on the file formats, does MAME prefer the disk container formats or the formats that unify multiple disks to a single container to minimize disk swapping?

Thanks for any information on this subject!
