This talk inspired me to create a Game Boy emulator [1] and indeed it's enough to create a general design of each hardware subsystem (CPU, IRQ, Pixel Processor Unit, etc.) Also, the part about the pixel transfer is great, only few emul

Aminet (an online software repository for AmigaOS) has a whole section called misc/emu [1] - a lot of interesting emulators can be found there. Probably the most famous and useful is the Shapeshifter [2], which emulates MacOS on Amiga.

Similar solution in Haskell: http://wall.org/~lewis/2013/10/15/asm-monad.html It allows to embed 6502 assembly in the Haskell code and use the latter as a macro language.

I extended memory in my Mac Plus to 4MB for about $5 a few months ago. Nowadays, when anything marked with the "retrocomputing" label can be ridiculously expensive, this kind of 30-pin SIMM memory is still considered as obsolete,

This theorem blew my mind on the Set Theory 101. A particularly interesting implication is that we can't say anything about the vast majority of the real numbers. Anything we say or write, all texts created by the humanity now and in t

So, it's possible to buy a "wifi modem" [1][2] for the C64. It connects to a telnet BBS (via WiFi) and redirects the output to the C64 User Port, emulating a standard serial modem. The existing terminal software can be used [

Probably the easiest way would be buying the floppy emu [1] - it allows to run the computer from an SD card. A bit pricey, though ($139). If booting from a floppy would be enough then Rescue My Classic Mac is a way to go. [1] http:/&#
