Paul Robson's Emulator Pages

This is my emulator collection .....

To build these you will need the shareware A86 assembler (easily available) and a 'C' Compiler. The programs were written in Borland's Turbo C 2.0 but should compile fairly easily under most compilers. All of the files are ZIP files (except for the two Chip-8 interpreters which are COM files).

To build later programs (Gameboy 97, Jupiter Ace, Sinclair machines) you'll need Borland TASM v4.0 or similar.

---

Please note that all these programs are freeware. You can do what you like with them, except that they must continue to be freely distributed (i.e. no payment can be made for this software). If you use any of this software, keep my name with the distribution. Please inform me of any bugs that you discover and/or correct. You will need about a 486/33 processor for them to operate at full speed. (Slightly more for A26)

Additionally , do not write to me asking me where to find game ROMs etc. These messages will be ignored. I try to answer all other mail. Please do not except instant replies as I am rather busy at present.

About XFellow

Features

Some of the features of Fellow (and therefore XFellow) include:

• Almost complete emulation of the 68000-based A500, with some features from other models (e.g. ECS blits, 68010, 020 and 030 CPUs)
• Extremely high performance due to the optimised assembly-language core
• Amiga harddisk emulation using a hardfile or filesystem
• Built-in support for DMS and ADZ images

There are some features that Fellow has that XFellow doesn't (yet):

• Module ripper
• Debugger
• Stability

History

Fellow was originally written by Petter Schau for MS-DOS based systems. As MS-DOS became a less viable platform, Petter rewrote Fellow in a modular fashion and with the help of Andreas Axelsson, Worfje, Torsten Enderling and Marco Nova produced a Windows DirectX version called WinFellow. Dan Sutherland started work on a Linux port (XFellow) in late 2000.
Dan in about year after the born of the project has left it. 11.09.2001 U.S.A day of death and sorrow (After terroristic plane crashes over in major citys) God Save The Innocent .
In summer 2002 Riot777 programmer from Poland has take the project with some Dan's help.

emulator is for Windows only.

The emulator can load and start the IBM 7094 operating system "IBSYS", allowing some simple commands to be executed, but more complex jobs such as the compilers do not yet work.

This image shows the main display windows of the emulator after running some sample IBSYS JCL.

Operation of the emulator is quite straightforward, all items on the form have decriptive hints/tooltips.

The emulator incorporates a scripting system which will run a small demonstration, making it very easy to see some activity straight out of the box.

What is Original CD Emulator

the Original CD Emulator will help you rip CDs to hard disk or to network images, and to create a Virtual CD on your computer to access those images. It works like a real CD-ROM: You can run programs, play games, or listen to music from your Virtual CD-ROM. Because it is launched from your hard disk, it's fast! So forget your CDs - thanks to this CD copying software, it's all on your hard disk. Just click once and the CD will appear.

The Original CD Emulator is also an ISO image extractor. It can directly access your ISO image, allowing you to see what is in the ISO image before you burn it. If don't need to burn it, simply run the program you want from the Virtual CD-ROM, or just extract what you need. It's fast and easy.

You can convert CD images created by other CD-RW programs to standard ISO images. The Original CD Emulator can recognize most images created by other CD-RW programs. Select the CD Burner and ISO image, then rip it. It's so easy, anyone can do it.

Work as CDRW Drive, let you burn music files to Virtual CDRW, support Window Media Player, MusicMatch,itunes

Features of our CD emulator and copying software:

• Support Audio CD, Data CD, Game CD and DVD.
• Work as CDRW Drive.
• Reads directly from a hard disk or network image.
• Allows up to 21 Virtual CD.
• Running from a CD Burner is faster than from physical media.
• Converts from CD/DVD to ISO image, or from ISO to CD/DVD.
• Supports images created by other CD-RW programs.
• Converts from a CD image to a standard ISO image.
• Burn CD image onto CDR/CDRW.
• Runs under Win98/Me/NT/2K/XP/2K3/Vista.

Windows Emulators for Linux

Linux provides a very good upgrade path for servers in businesses of all sizes. Among the reasons for this are its versatility, ease of administration, minimal upfront cost and lack of client-access license entanglements. Also, users typically don't have direct contact with servers, so the underlying operating system isn't a big deal to them.
Not so with desktop computers for work or home.
My experience as a user and programmer on Windows operating systems -- and as a participant in some lively discussions that take place in the Computerworld community forums -- confirm that the transition to Linux isn't always easy for the user or the administrator. Almost all users have some Windows program that they must have in order for Linux to be as functional as Windows is for them.
Fortunately, there are a growing number of options for providing users with their must-have applications on a Linux desktop. I've discussed some of those in a previous story (see "Linux and Windows: Can't We All Just Get Along?"). This time, I've taken a hard look at two other alternatives.
