Fairly boring commentary from an oversensitive, emotionally demanding computer nerd (with a not-so brand-new 4-year-old, and two cats)

Emulate this
Every once in a while I look at emulators of the Commodore 64. I really liked my C64 and have two in the attic, one of which runs (or at least it ran the last time I tried it. There is an amazing amount of activity here -- several projects that run on most major current OSes. But I also found one that runs on a Nokia cellphone. I got on this topic partly because I'm using emulated machines more and more at work; primarily VMWare so far but also MS Virtual Server. I have Virtual PC for my Mac. I was sort of slow to realize how cool this can be for software development and testing. I'm sure I could run a Windows or Linux version of the C64 emulator inside a VMWare machine. I wonder who holds the record for the most levels of emulation (on top of each other).Posted by markj at September 24, 2004 08:42 PM
