VICE derives from X64, the first Commodore 64 emulator for the X Window
System. Here is an informal list of the people who were mostly involved
in the development of X64 and VICE:
The VICE core team:
-
Ettore Perazzoli (ettore@comm2000.it)
made the 6510, VIC-II, VIC-I and CRTC emulations, part of the
hardware-level 1541 emulation, speed optimizations, bug fixes,
the event-driven cycle-exact engine, the Xt/Xaw/Xfwf-based GUI for X11, a
general code reorganization, the new resource handling, most of the
documentation and the MS-DOS port (well, somebody had to do it).
-
Teemu Rantanen (tvr@cs.hut.fi)
implemented the SID emulation and the trap-based disk drive and serial bus
implementation; added support for multiple display depths under X11.
-
André Fachat (fachat@physik.tu-chemnitz.de)
wrote the PET emulators, the CIA and VIA emulation, the IEEE488
interface, implemented the IEC serial bus in
xvic and made tons
of bug fixes.
-
Daniel Sladic (sladic@eecg.toronto.edu)
started the work on hardware-level 1541 emulation and wrote the
new monitor introduced with VICE 0.15.
-
Andreas Boose (boose@linux.rz.fh-hannover.de)
gave lots of information and bug reports about the VIC-II, the 6510 and
the CIAs; moreover, he wrote several test-routines that were used to
improve the emulation. Also contributed some important patches, fixed
several problems in the 1541 emulation, implemented the SpeedDOS parallel
cable emulation and added cartridge support.
Former team members:
-
Jouko Valta (jopi@stekt.oulu.fi) wrote
petcat and
c1541, T64 handling, user service and
maintenance (most of the work in x64 0.3.x was made by him); retired
from the project in July 96, after VICE 0.10.0.
-
Jarkko Sonninen (sonninen@lut.fi) was the founder of the
project, wrote the old version of the 6502 emulation and the XDebugger,
and retired from the project after x64 0.2.1.

(We hope we have not forgotten anybody; if you think we have, please
tell us.)
Thanks also to everyone else for sending suggestions, ideas,
bug reports, questions and requests. In particular, a warm thank
goes to the following people:
Last but not least, a very special thank to Andreas Arens, Lutz Sammer,
Edgar Tornig, Christian Bauer, Wolfgang Lorenz, Miha Peternel and Per
Hâkan Sundell for writing cool emulators to compete with. :-)
