Re: How interrupts work (x86 vs. C64)

What exactly do you mean by "emulating the C64"? Do you want to get
timer interrupts? In that case, how to do it depends on what kind of
timer you have. Is this a PC? An old PC or a new one?

Yes, I want timer interrupt at classic x86 PC with Linux (or Windows).

The operating system gets the timer interrupts. You can get messages and
callbacks on a periodic basis, but you cannot directly handle interrupts as
a user-mode program. That's the responsibility of the kernel.

What are you really trying to do?
