Finally, the ridiculously talented @gloriouscow has decided making one of the, if not *the*, most accurate IBM PC emulators around isn't enough - and is now working on CC0-licensed reference book going into component-by-component detail of exactly how the IBM PC and later PC XT work.

"The PC Emulation Book" by @gloriouscow "aims to become a comprehensive guide to emulating the original models of the IBM Personal Computer". It's still a work in progress at a very early stage but already provides useful information for emulator developers and retro programmers.

Today, I pre-ordered a fullsize TheA1200 emulation machine. As a former owner of a real Commodore Amiga A1200 back in 1993, I just couldn't resist this cute replica model. Now, I'm excited for 2026!

I've officially released my real-mode emulator CPU test suite for the Intel 80386.
https://github.com/singlesteptests/80386
The test suite includes 941 test files - (406 opcodes plus operand size and address size prefix combinations) comprising 1,758,700 individual, heuristically-generated instruction tests, all of them containing cycle exact captures of the execution of a real 386 CPU.

Here's the original, unaltered U.S. floppy disk version of SimCity Classic for DOS. With file dates from August of 1993, this is the very first revision. Sorry for the delay, but I imported these from the USA. For the retro collectors!

If you'd like to read an interview with two of the extremely nice devs from @PCSX2 who took the time to chat to me, then the article's posted up in a couple of places for you to read!
I've been really sinking into older #gaming lately, well and truly loving #emulation - particularly on my #SteamDeck and emulating something like the PS2 makes me so happy!
If you'd like to read all about their history and development of the program, then here's a link:

New blog post: Macintosh Emulation and Printing using Mini VMac on a PocketCHIP
In this post I go over how I got Mini VMac compiled on the PocketCHIP with LocalTalk options enabled. I also go over how I printed to a real ImageWriter II as well as browsed the web with Netscape 2.0!

Thanks in advance for a boost!

At least two kits that let you convert LEGO's Game Boy model kit into a fully playable handheld game console are on the way. One is coming to Kickstarter Oct 28, but it only supports emulation. A kit that supports original cartridges is likely coming later. https://www.theverge.com/news/805376/lego-game-boy-brickboy-emulator-kickstarter #LEGOGameBoy #BrickBoy #Emulation #Crowdfunding #RetroGaming
