The best - cycle exact - emulator are CCS64 and Vice. Only Windows: http://www.ccs64.com/

VICE, also OS agnostic: https://vice-emu.sourceforge.io/

Enjoy.

CCS64 is old and inaccurate. You want x64sc from VICE, preferably with a 50 Hz display mode and matching emulation speed for smooth scrolling.
