General Tips
============
- Put C64 and Drive ROM into a writable sdcard under folders named "c64" and "drives" respectively and place them side by side, e.g. /sdcard/vice/c64 and /sdcard/vice/drives. Get WinVICE for reference.
- If have problem running some program, try turning on "True Drive Emulation" before emulation start.
- Use "menu->buttons->show buttons" to check hidden buttons and joystick area.
- Holding Special Keys onscreen button (Top Left) for Unlock Speed (Warp) mode.
- Savestate will bind to the autostart disk/tape inserted BEFORE the emulator started, disk change after that will not
change the binding.
- To avoid accidental mouse click, switch to Joystick mode/Scroll Screen mode, or turn off "Tap screen as Click" from "menu->input mode".
- Select change disk then press Back without selecing a disk file will eject a disk from the drive.
- Use Right-Alt instead of Left-Alt (or turning off "menu->input mode->map left-alt key") to type special letters on physical keyboard.
- To use D-Pad as keyboard arrows, make sure Joystick Keys is not in D-Pad mode ("menu->settings->joystick keys").
- To use Button Mapper, make sure Joystick Keys is disabled.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
4 ★Firstly, anyone who needs the ROMs can install the Pelya build of VICE (free) and point this version at /sdcard/app-data/org.viceteam.sdl/C64. Unlike the free port of VICE, the interface is nicely integrated with Android and it is possible to make the display full-screen with no border and keep the 4:3 aspect ratio. However, the resizing of the screen is arbitrary (unlike Frodo which can be constrained to double size) which results in a lot of aliasing. Turn on the "Smooth the video" option and there is some loss of video performance. I contacted the developer and received a really good response and a beta version to test, which did improve things. This is as good as it gets right now, so well worth the money.
2 ★Wish this program had controls like frodo or mame for android. Slow joystick control response. Good compatibility but I can't get the program to exit properly on my Droid razr..
3 ★Yeah, it works, the interface is a bit better but right now not enough. Will update my rating if/when improvements are made.
3 ★Still needs a lot of work. I prefer free frodo over this. This needs a c64 keyboard and better menu system.
5 ★Awesome! Got final cartridge iii loaded!
1 ★Can't get this to work on a Galaxy S with Gingerbread (using the C64 kernal ROMS from Windows Vice). When attempting to load a game file it just goes blank for a fraction of a second then goes back to the main AnVice screen. Annoyingly, i can't find an email address for the developer either.
2 ★Unlike every other C64 emu on the marketplace, this one doesn't come with any boot ROMS, so forget about just DLing this app and starting it up
1 ★Doesn't work on HTC desire
5 ★If you like the C64, you must get this emulator. Haven't found a title it won't run, allows easy disk swapping, and just performs well in general. I'm also using the GameKeyboard software from the same author to map an iControlPad for joystick input. The author was quick to respond to email and very helpful. Running well on both Asus Transformer and Xperia Play.
4 ★much better than others on market. Would be 5 if zip support added.
5 ★First C64 emulator I liked, excellent port!
1 ★Shame on the dev for charging for a barely improved VICE.
