8-Bit Wonders

8-Bit Wonders is an all-in-one emulator that allows you to experience the classic Commodore systems on your modern Android device. It brings back the nostalgia of the golden age of computing, allowing you to play old-school pixel games, explore vintage software, and even enjoy new creations in the iconic 80s style. This app offers the convenience and power of today's hardware, making it the perfect choice for both reliving childhood favorites and discovering retro computing for the first time.

The app supports a wide range of classic Commodore 8-bit computers, including C64, VIC-20, PET, C128, Plus/4, and C16. It is compatible with phones, tablets, and Android TVs, making it accessible on a variety of modern devices.

8-Bit Wonders offers a variety of control options, including hardware joysticks, gamepads, mice, virtual touch joysticks, and both hardware and virtual keyboards with customizable layouts. It also features save states and a built-in time-machine feature, allowing you to rewind gameplay and undo mistakes at any moment. For an authentic retro experience, the app also includes CRT emulation, recreating the look and feel of classic displays.

The app is fully compatible with all disk and tape formats supported by VICE. It comes with an initial library of systems and preinstalled games, but you can expand it by adding your own save states, downloading content directly from archive.org, or importing additional games and applications as 8bw or rp9 files. This includes games created with tools like C64 Forever.

8-Bit Wonders allows for customization of controls by mapping buttons to keystrokes or enabling auto-fire. It also has a dedicated demo mode, which lets you play audio in the background or run visual demos in a clean movie-screen view without any Android UI elements. The app is still in development, and user feedback is highly valued to shape its future. You can share your thoughts and suggestions at https://eightbitwonders.gitlab.io/app/feedback/.
