Where can I find the 6809 ports of Windows and Linux, or am I missing something?
- jedberg 5y agoI don't think there is a 6809 port of Windows/Linux, but you can compile it into an executable that is the ROM and emulator put together. You can also find the original executable the files were extracted from here: https://github.com/mwenge/defender/blob/3363040ada69f54e304b1d68a5b9919cef4ce2aa/orig/WilliamsArcadeClassics/DEFENDER.EXE https://github.com/mwenge/defender/blob/3363040ada69f54e304b...

- wicket 5y agoAssembling something to run under an emulator is not really the same thing. The post then says: > You can also assemble it into the 11 rom files that would have been loaded onto the arcade cabinet’s ROM board. If I wanted to run this on an emulator, surely the assembled code would be identical, but the use of the word "also" suggests they are doing something else here.
