Well I found this program, Dioscuri quite interesting… It’s a PC emulator written in JAVA!
It’s very interesting in how it’s trying to be accurate hardware wise, although holding down keys tends to cause it to crash…. 😐
Maybe a later version will work, but for what it’s worth, here is the title screen from Battle Tech.
The best game of 1988!
Naturally, any machine with a good JVM ought to be able to run this… But I’ve always found Java to be such a moving target….
Another thing I came across was this fantastic i8080 emulator coded in javascript. And it’s setup to play space invaders!
On Chrome, or Firefox it should perform at a reasonable rate. Internet explorer users are in the cold, as IE doesn’t have a javascript canvas. Sorry. But here is what you are missing out on.
Complete with i8080 emulator in Javascirpt!
This is some really neat stuff (to me) anyways.
