This is the predecessor version Vice-Emulator. I left it here for download for everyone who prefers a vice version with the old mfc gui (before .gtk).
Note: The current version emulates the C64, the C64DTV, the C128, the VIC20, almost all PET models, the PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610). The download here is the Windows 32bit (x86) binary. Versions for other platforms, source codes, documentation and additional information can be can be found on the following homepage: The VICE Emulator.
Here we have now the newest Version of the ruling Vice-Emulator, which is the best C64 Emulator IMHO...

This very decent d64 managing tool doesn't give the ability to transfer .d64-files from PC to C64 or back, but it is very helpful in editing .d64 files (it also can browse into the C64 'Lynx'-Pack-format). I mostly use it to prepare my C64 stuff with this tool, and then I transfer it via 'Star Commander'. For further information visit the 64Copy Central.
Please note:
64 Copy is DOS-based (in the very known 'Norton Commander style') but also works in a DOS window under Windows OS. In case you use Windows 7 or upwards, you can also run 64COPY by using DOSBox.
This is, as the title suggests, an (unofficial) Beta version of 64COPY. It was offered, because it is already capable of using .m2i format files (SD2IEC), which the v4.45 is not.
DirMaster is a Windows-based GUI application made by the north american demo group Style. DirMaster is designed to help Commodore enthusiasts explore and manage their disk image collections. It supports common (and uncommon) emulator disk image formats (such as .d64, .d81, .d2m, etc), almost every native Commodore archival format (such as .arc, .sda, .lnx, etc), and many native graphic formats (such as koala, doodle, amica, etc). And it features much, much more...

This is a sid plugin, based on "in_sidplay2" (see below), for the 32-bit version of the AIMP music player.
This version supports the new songlength database file type (md5 extension). Since HVSC#71 it will be the only format of the song length database distributed in HVSC.
The offered file is a zipped .dll. De-pack it and put the directory "aimp_sidplay" containing the .dll into the "Plugins" folder of your IMP installation manually.

Another Winamp plugin, might be the best around, imho. This plug-in uses latest versions of libsidplay2 (written by Simon White) and reSID (written by Dag Lem) to emulate C64 sound chip.
Please keep in mind, that HVSC since #71 offers a different songlength database, which will only work with in_sidplay2 v2.2.2.x.
This is a newer version of the in_sidplay Winamp plugin (description see above). Works nice for me, but in case you face trouble, take version 1.5.4 instead. But keep in mind, that HVSC since #71 offers a different songlength database, which will only work with in_sidplay2 v2.2.2.x. and above
The offered file is just the zipped .dll, without an installer. You must de-pack and put it into the "Plugins" folder of your Winamp installation manually.
