Here's a patch to add the "vice" commodore emulator. It builds and
works, but has some vices of its own (har har).
- It ships with the original Kernal/Basic from the c64 (and other
systems), including the payload for the original Microsoft Basic.
That's... probably not ok for Guix.
- One solution is coming out of the Mega65 project (a damn cool project
in general):

(Just look how cool the Mega65 hardware is, btw!)

- It really stutters a lot for me. I don't know why. I tried turning
off all the graphical extras and turning on the fastsid audio system
in the config system and it's still slow. I can't even run
robotfindskitten at full speed:

(good FOSS test program, btw.)
Oh well. What should be done now? Not sure, and thoughts welcome.

PS: learning 6502 assembly is really fun! Here's a good resource:
