Per Håkan Sundell returns with a new update to his long-running CCS64 Emulator, now at version 3.10. This latest release brings smoother Windows compatibility, improved Internet multiplay, a variety of screen resolutions, and better performance across both 32- and 64-bit systems running Windows 7 through 11. If you’re still hanging on to fond memories of your Commodore 64, this might be the update worth booting up for.
The CCS64 Emulator isn’t new—it started as Sundell’s university thesis back in 1995, and it’s been steadily refined ever since. His devotion to the Commodore 64 runs deep, tracing back to 1983 when he joined the C64 “Scene” and later tried to preserve its legacy after moving to the Amiga. That passion shows in the emulator’s features, including integrated HardSID support and a focus on software compatibility that remains true to the original machine’s quirks and behavior.
Unlike some emulators that feel like clunky tech demos, the CCS64 Emulator is user-friendly and actively maintained. It remains shareware: free to use and distribute, but with optional registration. Registering not only unlocks extra features but gives your feedback more weight in future development.
If you’ve been chasing a reliable, C64-like experience on modern hardware—or just want to relive SID tunes without juggling floppy disks—this update is a strong excuse to check in. And yes, CCS64 still lets you fire up your favorite old games and software with minimal fuss.
