C64 TCP gateway #1

Closed donpdonp closed 7 years ago

donpdonp commented 8 years ago

I started the emulator and it worked out of the box. The first thing I thought to do is run some kind of TCP client and IRC would be fun to see on the C64.

This is a C64 IRC client http://contiki.cbm8bit.com/

Its options for networking are "RR+RR-NET" "TFE" and "ETH64". If you know what these are (I don't), is it possible to support one of them?

Thanks for testing and giving some feedback!!

Those ethernet adapters are accessories for the C64 that connect to the cartridge port:

It'd be interesting to emulate one of these in the future, I have marked this issue as an enhancement, in the meantime, if you wish to test the IRC client I encourage you to give the vice emulator a go (it's one of the most complete C64 emulators and it apparently supports RR-NET already):
