Best GUI C64 emulator for macOS?

Everyone recommends vice, but the documentation makes it clear it's intended to be invoked from the command line, and I'd like an emulator that runs as a proper macOS app. What's out there in 2026?

How to get zsh to ignore a forward slash in a file name?

UPDATE:

  1. To put a forward slash in a filename in a shell, you have to use a colon instead, which Finder renders as a forward slash
  2. Finder will let you put a forward slash in a filename without issue, and it will render in a shell with a colon in place of the forward slash
  3. The error was being thrown by gw (which very reasonably, as a cross-platform application, thinks of the forward slash as an illegal filename character), not zsh. It's perfectly happy to put a colon in a filename.

renaming with a colon in zsh...

...shows up with a forward slash in Finder

NO GODS, NO MASTERS

NO CHARACTER IS ILLEGAL

I am trying to pass a filename that has a forward slash in it to `gw`, and zsh keeps treating it as a directory demarcation, even with the filename in quotes. My impression of quoting an argument in a UNIX shell was that it told the shell “this exact string, ignore any special characters in it.”

How do I do this?

Hey physicists. I have a problem I’m having trouble solving. This is an A-frame aerial rig, which I’m trying to prove to someone cannot credibly be tipped over by someone swinging on it. The pendulum is a person hanging from a hammock, and I want to figure out how fast they need to swing to exert enough force to bring one of the legs of the A frame perpendicular to the ground.

I’ve got moment of inertia figured out (know the mass of the rig) and I can figure out the torque and thus the force required to rotate the rig, but I can’t figure out how to relate the centripetal force exerted by the swinging aerialist to the force acting on the lever comprised by the leg of the A frame.
