Speed of screen updates is acceptable. Updates for keypresses are a bit slow, not sure why. Also stability is an issue, however I don't think memory to be the cause.

Any suggestions to improve speed and stability are welcome!

- Fri Sep 25, 2015 5:17 am #29841 Now I have a somewhat faster screen refresh rate (up to 10 fps, using get instead of post in browser/xmlhttp) and much better keyboard handling.

Key handling by emulator should be improved however (print commands are processed correctly, e.g. poke command not).

[edit] The previous uploaded sketch didn't show lowercase characters as being lower case and C64 only recognizes command if they are in uppercase . New sketch converts lower case to upper case.

- Mon Sep 28, 2015 1:45 pm #30062 A new version with blinking cursor and the browser client now responds to RAM values for text, border and background color.

The next step is to implement color and char ram (not sure if possible however). Also I need to make the browser respond to arrow keys for moving the cursor.
