microprocessor emulator and assembler for mac

Also got at least one of my TI99 DOS emulations to run. From there I got a version of EightyOne that was an. I managed to get Virtual PC 5 to run and recognize a a Windows ME install taken from a VPC4 download. I'm happy to report some progress despite all my grousing. My compliments and thanks for recreating these wonders of early computer technology for old geezers like myself to play around with! As if! I managed to program the originals using BASIC and never quite 'got' ML, lol. But I guess if it t'were so easy to emulate a ZX, I could as easily create my own flavor. Don't take me wrong, that just strikes me as quite funny. It might indeed require me to upgrade my own hardware to more easily support an up-to-date emulator of a 1980's computer.

I mentioned I was using PPC G4 in my first post to this thread, and wasn't waved off, so I just started downloading all the flavors to try them. I don't expect any developer like yourself to run out and build a system to support an old platform.

If I ever find my solution, I'll post it here for posterior reasons! Take this more as the ramblings of an old dog trying to relearn his old tricks than a further plea for help. Eventually I'll find a more point'n'click solution for whatever platform it ends up being. So, off I go on a renewed quest for a few days. It's selfish to expect continued support for a Mac that's now a decade old itself.įunny thing, I don't do all that much emulation to start with! But when I do want to, I find myself limited in what I'm trying to accomplish. If I upgraded to intel Mac or just bought a cheapy WinPC laptop, all my emulator wants would be swiftly granted. It's the same way with the TI99 and the old MacV9T9 emulator I use for that computer.Ī lot of my issues are using a 'vintage' PPC Mac to do all this. Till I want to play with extended memory, then it's found to be lacking and I go looking again. So I stick with ZXSP, which is a bit dated and limited but works fine and scratches my ZX-itch. But what I have to do to just play a game I wrote for the TS1000 makes double-emulation too much bother. Getting a flavor of Windows would be nice to have beyond my ZX81 emulator quest, since Classic 99, one of the better TI99/4A emulations is also Windows-based. I keep the folders around and give it another go some other day when I get the urge again. Oh, I can fuddle my way there, but there's always a stumbling block. Which to me is just another app to learn the ropes of both it and DOS/Windows. So now I'm downloading and trying various flavors of PC/Windows emulators. And maybe using os9 Classic, which is in itself yet another layer of emulation. Things such as emulating a PC in order to run the ZX81 emulator. It's a bit amazing sometimes the hoops to jump through to emulate an older and far simpler computer, such as the ZX81 et al. It kinda goes back to my earlier observation.
