How do you convert commodore 64 games to xp?

Answer 1

Older gaming platforms, such as Nintendo (C) SuperNes, Atari, and other systems used game cartridges (circuit board inside plastic housing with onboard ROM where game code is found). The Gaming Console (set-top box) merely held the hardware and operating environment wherein the cartridge ROM's were read, and put to the TV screen. Legacy games such as PacMan, Frogger, and Asteroids were converted to ROM files (*.rom) and saved on computer hard drives. Note: some of these conversions were performed by hacking techniques, and violate the copyright of the creators. A person could then download an Emulator which is an exe file, and opens the games (*.rom) files and allows game play on a PC. Most of the Emulators were made for the FAT 32 file systems / operating systems. It is theoretically possible to run Window's 98 SE via Virtual Machine, and then open an emulator/Game.rom files for use. The best recommendation is to check with the Creators/Companies that owned these games, and see if they offer legacy games with an accompanying Emulator for use with a PC / Windows NT based operating system (XP is an NT based version of Microsoft Windows). Otherwise, you can find some popular legacy games in a little joystick type console that connects toyour television via RCA cables (for audio and video). These units are relatively inexpensive as well. As for a Commodore 64 Emulator (which is what you would want to search for), try and search it on Google.
