• EmuTOS: A Modern FOSS Replacement OS for the Atari ST – and the Amiga Too

  Natively would be amazing but a vast amount of work. The way Apple moved classic MacOS from 680x0 to PowerPC was to write a tiny kernel emulator, with an API to run native stuff on the metal, and run more or less the whole OS under emulation, profile it and just translate the most speed-critical bits. That's a lot of work for a FOSS project but given the performance delta between 1980s 680x0 and 2020s ARM, total... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• EmuTOS: A Modern FOSS Replacement OS for the Atari ST – and the Amiga Too

  FOSS project, Emu68 -- a native 68K emulation environment for Arm, something comparable to Apple's nanokernel for running Classic MacOS on PowerMacs. https://github.com/michalsc/Emu68 [5] Creating an OS that's as good or even better than the original while running on original hardware is impressive. Improved localisation opens it up to more people. That's good. It enables reviving vintage kit more easily,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I wrote an article about the new FreeDOS release: "FreeDOS puts out first new version in six years"

  Aranym is an interesting program: an ST emulator aimed at serious GEM users, not gamers. It has its own GPL ST-compatible OS built from FOSS components, AFROS. That's a multitasking GEM for you. :-). Source: over 2 years ago

• EmuTOS: A Free OS for computers based on M68K processors including the Atari ST

  EmuTOS is a like-for-like replacement for the ST OS, using some of the Digital Research PC GEM code that was open-sourced by Caldera around the turn of the century. So it's a single-tasking OS. ST TOS evolved in multiple directions, with a couple of complete replacements, such as MagiC, itself now FOSS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagiC People replaced various bits of TOS and GEM, which had a fairly clean... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Apple now allows retro game emulators on its App Store

  Tangentially related: if anybody is looking for a good way to organize a library of retro emulators and games on their MacOS laptops/desktop computers then I recommend OpenEmu. It is designed from the ground up to look and feel like a Mac app. https://openemu.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• How do I play TurboGrafx 16 in 2023?

  The Pocket is a great device, highly recommended, get the Dock if you want to buy one. While waiting, I recommend using https://openemu.org/ on your Mac to run "roms", which are files that represent old games. To get the ROMs, google for "tubrografx roms archive.org". Then for a controller on a Mac, you can use a PS4/PS5 or Xbox (One/Series), if you have one lying around. That said, I recommend buying an SN30 Pro. Source: 11 months ago

• Help PSX / NEOGEO games

  Huh? Try http://openemu.org/ and download the experimental version (with arcade support). Source: 11 months ago

• Lucky Luke Western Fever

  Yeah should be pretty easy if you have the ISO or a disc copy, OpenEmu should do it without issue - https://openemu.org. Source: 12 months ago

• Desmume emulator not working

  Hey there, for an emulation beginner and macOS user, and as an easy workaround, I'd recommend you use OpenEmu . It's a frontend for multiple Nintendo/Sega/Retro console emulators at once (Nintendo handhelds up to DS, and consoles up to Gamecube), and works completely out of the box with controller support. Best of luck! Source: 12 months ago
