Improving #MartyPC's video emulation with monitor emulation!
Instead of letting the CGA card's hsync and vsync outputs drive the display directly, we simulate a monitor that must lock on to these signals via vertical and horizontal PLLs.
This provides a semi-realistic 'bounce' when you change video-modes (needs a lil tweaking), but also means if you program an invalid video mode the screen will start to roll, like a real monitor.

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!

Have fun building your dream city!
