Essentially VICE with a super over-the-top skin. Would be nice if there were more emulators, but for the ones it has, it really brings back the personality and tactile feel of using an old computer.
I like the clicky click. click click. clickity clack. Could use more systems to emulate but as far as I'm aware, this is one guy developing the app as a hobby. Click click. Total: 10/10
The game is truly amazing, everything works just like the real thing (as far as I know), it really gives younger generations access to these fascinating machines.
Super Emulator frontend. Ich würde mir noch wünschen das es eine Druckeranbindung gibt mit der ich Dokumente oder Code als Dokument ablegen kann. Zudem wäre ein anderes Ambiente als Hintergrund ganz nett. EmuVR macht das ganz gut vor. Alles in allem aber ein schönes Tool
Great simulator.
good
On linux the unity wrapper runs fine and loocs nice, but it failed to power on any of the computers. It seems to actually run the emulator, because my CPU is getting hotter, but nothing apperas on screen and spinner in the bottom left corner keeps spinning forever. But still recommend this game. Seems to be a nice thingy.
Fascinante ! Há décadas espero algo dessa natureza. Ainda não explorei muito, só fiz pequenos códigos em Basic, mas a imersão é fantástica, gráfico e som muito realístico e ótima ambientação, perfeito! No futuro breve pretendo usar Assembler com Basic para alguns projetos, como eu fazia nos micros que possuí; TK 85 (Sinclair ZX81) , CP200/CP400 II (TRS-80) e TK3000 //e (APPLE II). Planejam adicionar mais microcomputadores em breve ? Minha dica: - APPLE II (6502) - Sinclair ZX81 (Z80A) - ZX Spectrum (Z80) - TRS-80 (Z80) Poderia ser em DLCs :) IMPORTANTE: Desenvolvedores, NÃO desistam deste projeto.
Absolutely stunning visual representation of a fully working Commodore 64, VIC-20 or a PET. With working disk drives, cassette decks and even working cartridges, you have everything(apart from .D64 images) you need for a great time playing your favourite games from the 80s. A pause function would be nice like the Alt-P function in VICE provides but that is minor and hopefully will be added in future releases. Worth every penny!
I recommend this simulator.. How good it is to see the sound of the floppy disk, the delay of loading a cassette tape. It's very nostalgic. Hopefully it will continue with the project and make more computers. I had an MSX. It took too long to load. It was even worth a few prayers so that there would be no errors in the reading. Eu recomendo esse simulador.. Como é bom ver o som do disquete, a demora de se carregar uma fita cassete. É muito nostálgico. Tomara que continue com o projeto e faça mais computadores. Eu tive um MSX. Demorava excessivamente para se carregar. Valia até umas rezas para que não houvesse erros na leitura.
