Challenge accepted. I had been looking for my next emulation target
- roytam87 3y agoI wonder if you may consider emulating PowerPC NT as well?
- orra 3y agoDang, I didn't realise NT for PowerPC can't be emulated. That's also a shame. Without wanting to sound entitled, my preference is NT for Alpha. That's because Visual Basic 6.0 for Alpha exists, but not for PowerPC. Of course, as a retro computing enthusiast, I'll gladly take any.
- scruffyherder 3y agoAs of now there is only MIPS. https://virtuallyfun.com/2021/11/10/revisiting-windows-nt-4-0-mips-on-qemu/ https://virtuallyfun.com/2021/11/10/revisiting-windows-nt-4-... The OpenGL is more 1.0 than 1.1... so it makes for interesting ports. I need to touch on that one too. so much to do..
- orra 3y agoHot damn, I love your enthusiasm. I don't know whether you'd want to work from scratch, to do things entirely your own way, or whether you'd look to extend an existing project. Either is of course reasonable. If the latter, I get the impression AXPbox is currently the best maintained Alpha emulator. There have been a LOT of Alpha emulators over the years: http://www.avanthar.com/healyzh/decemulation/Alpha.html http://www.avanthar.com/healyzh/decemulation/Alpha.html
- dmitrygr 3y agoI usually do it myself from scratch. This is partly because I like to learn all the details of how something works, but also because I have a perverse habit of putting emulators of large machines unto microcontrollers, and most existing emulators are not targeted to a world with only a few K of RAM and limited cycles. eg: http://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=33.%20LinuxCard http://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=33.%20LinuxCard http://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=25.%20VMU%20Hacking http://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=25.%20VMU%20Hacking
