This is the cycle-accurate 'sc' Commodore 64 core from VICE-libretro, prioritizing faithful timing and compatibility over raw speed. Built on the same RetroArch port of VICE as the other cores, it plays standard C64 disk and tape images with save states, ZIP archive support, and multi-disk M3U playlists. It's an emulation backend with no interface of its own — you run it through RetroArch.
