V86 is an x86 emulator that runs in the browser. It supports a selection of preconfigured historical and current operating systems, including a few rarely emulated ones such as Windows CE, and you can upload your own operating system image.
V86 is similar to the popular PCjs.
*** Apart from the already substantial unit tests, we now have two additional and rather stringent tests:***
This test loads the ZX Spectrum 128 ROMs (0 and 1) and run that machine's initialisation process. Then it shows a statistical analysis of the instruction coverage that's been executed during rom initialisation. (total percentage of different opcodes executed for each instruction group)
The second big test implements traps as barebones CP/M shims, loads ZEXDOC.COM and runs its extensive stress test (this can be long).
Work is ongoing to support ZEXALL.COM as well, an even more stringent version of zexdoc that also tests undocumented registers and quirks of the Z80, one of the hardest tests known. This will be next, after I'm certain that this passes all ZEXDOC tests without a hitch. So far so good!

In another news-packed week, here’s a thread full of palate-cleansing custom feeds created with Surf about everything from queer country music to the demoscene. Here's a quick guide to creating a custom feed.

As you probably heard animated PNG images (APNG) have been standardized! So here's a story on how I used an APNG file to cut a phone's power consumption by 10 times in a common scenario during the weeks leading up to the launch of Firefox OS 1.0. We'll talk about webpage layout, rendering, mobile hardware intricacies, driver bugs and of course APNG files. 🧵 1/16
I mean it's cool that one could just use #Firefox as #Emulator but no #mobile#OperatingSystem will have any chance of market attraction if one cannot buy the bloody thing!
An option could be running an Android #emulator on a computer where to run those applications. I do that for banking applications that fail to run because of #LineageOS.
It's even nicer rotated. The Mac display in this orientation measures 8 inches diagonally. This feels pretty close to the visible area of an actual 9 inch CRT.
This unique NES emulator not only lets you play classic Nintendo games on modern hardware - it lets you play 100 titles in 3D thanks to custom profiles that add 3D effects (including lighting and shadows). Version 1.0 is now available after 10 years in development. https://www.dsogaming.com/news/after-10-years-of-development-the-emulator-that-lets-you-play-nes-games-in-full-3d-has-been-fully-released/#3dSen #emulator#3DGraphics#NES
Pretending I have a 4mm thick e-Ink Macintosh Plus.
