  • Another Vic20/DOS emulator?

    From Harry Potter@3:770/3 to All on Fri Feb 24 16:23:46 2017
    If I created my own Vic20 emulator for DOS, would anybody here try it out? If so, can somebody point me out to some resources on-line on the subject?

    Most people would have to emulate DOS to do that. Although I love
    emulating I would not do this.

    subject?

    VICE also emulates a VIC-20. And is open source. IIRC was there even a DOS version available on VICE.

    Not for DOS no, sorry.

    You can try VICE1.6 (and before I saw), they have VIC for DOS emulated:

    I am fond of emulators too!

    I have PCVIC. It's useful.

    Well it exists with VICE and probably others already. Why reinventing the wheel? But seems there is none for CP/M. :-)

    Problem might be that a Z80 or 8088 usually found on CP/M machines would
    be too slow to emulate a 6502.

    yes I would try it out.

    sorry I can't point you to a resource. I'm trying to slowly get into the c64 scene.

    To which Drew Klenotic replies...

    I'm a life long Atari guy who recently got a C128 (my first Commie)...
    The guys over at Particles! BBS ( http://www.particles.org/particlesbbs/
    ) were really helpful. It's a pretty active BBS too. It's not uncommon
    for me to see 20-30 new messages a day (all local). In fact, I call
    almost daily because one time I took a week or two off, I came back to
    over 500 messages.

    Since you guys are obviously BBSers, might be a good place for you to
    check out.

    (and he runs it on a real C128D).

    Is your Atari online?

    And is your c128 online, ... how you calling out?

    I really have to get on and check out that bbs.
    I've been on afterlife a bit but mostly when I use the c64 I'm on cottonwoodbbs.

    I rarely see any discussion about how to do things on the system. Disk architecture, file system layout, copy files or disks, or programming
    stuff. Its probably due to the systems have 40 columns instead of the 80.
    Your c128 has the 80 without issues I hear.

    I'm trying to get my hands on a c128. Not luck yet, and I'm not ready to pay
    a super high price yet.
