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.
MAC 1980 EMULATOR PC
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.
