4.7 CHIP8
CHIP8 is an odd puppy. It was never a real machine, per se;
instead, it was a virutal machine implemented on several
different platforms (similar to the current implementation of
Java). CHIP8 interpreters were written for several machines
(including the TELMAC 1800 and several kit computers, like the
ETI 660, DREAM 6800, etc.). It was used primarily to program
simple video games. The CHIP8 instruction set has fewer than 40
opcodes total, including I/O, sound, and flow control. Since
most computers of that era were very limited in terms of memory,
most CHIP8 games are very small. (typically less then 256
bytes).
Several games are available from the S-CHIP page:

4.11 CoCo 2, Dragon 32/64
The CoCo 2 and the Dragon 32/64 machines are basically the same.
The largest differences between them involve different versions
of BASIC, and a parallel port on the Dragon (the CoCo had none).
There are some subtle differences as well (such as the keyboard
wiring and I/O port configuration) that make the ROMs
incompatible. Not all emulators take these changes into account.
Notably, the CoCo 2 emulator listed below will not work with
Dragon 64 ROMs.
A CoCo mailing list exists; its address is
<coco@pucc.princeton.edu>. (This is also available on the
newsgroup bit.listserv.coco).
A Dragon mailing list exists; for more information, write to

4.12.1 Computer History Simulators
This is a large project; it includes freeware simulators for
the Data General Nova, the PDP-4, PDP-7, PDP-8, PDP-9, PDP-11,
PDP-15, and the IBM 1401. They are intended for personal or
educational use and are provided on an as-is basis. Support is
not available, and commercial use is prohibited. The package
also includes some demonstration software, including RDOS 7.5
for the NOVA, OS/8 for the PDP-8, and several versions of Unix
for the PDP-11.
On an Alpha 3000/600 workstation (three years old, 175Mhz -
about equivalent to a Pentium 120), and compiling at the -O2
optimization level, the performance of all the simulators
exceeds that of the original systems, except for the PDP-11,
which is about 75%. Of course, the faster the host, the faster
the simulator.
Information on the project is available in the December '96
issue of _The Digital Technical Journal_.
This project is coordinated by Bob Supnik
<bob.supnik@ljo.dec.com>. See the documentation for individual
authors' contact information.

4.19 Macintosh
See also section 3.7.
4.19.1 A-Max [Amiga]
A commerically produced Macintosh emulator for the Amiga. The
official version requires hardware for the ROMs; however, an
illegal version of this program with the ROMs stored on disk
is rumored to exist. See section 6.5.1.
4.19.2 Aladin [Atari ST]
This program emulates a classic (64k) Macintosh on an Atari
ST. It shipped as a cartridge which required you to add in
real Macintosh ROMs. There is purportedly an illegal version
of this program (MacBongo) which is programmed to work with
ROM images.
Aladin supports 640x400 resolution, runs at the ST's 8MHz,
addresses up to 4Mb of RAM, and works with the ST's parallel
and serial ports. Starting with version 3.0, Aladin supports
access to hard drives.
Aladin was manufactured by German company ProficomP, and
distributed in the UK by Eidersoft and Signa Publishing. It is
doubtful that it is still distributed. In 1988, the price was
about UKP 170 (about US$265).
4.19.3 Basilisk [BeBox]
A beta release of this Macintosh emulator is now available. It
is based on the 680x0 emulation from UAE (see section 4.4.2).
You must obtain a Macintosh ROM to operate this emulator.
Currently emulates a Mac Classic only. Under development by

4.19.6 ShapeShifter [Amiga]
ShapeShifter is a shareware Macintosh-II emulator for the
Amiga. Currently, this program supports only 32-bit-clean
programs; it does not support (or require) an MMU.
ShapeShifter requires AmigaOS 2.1, a 68020 or better, 4 Megs
of RAM, Macintosh ROM images, and the Macintosh system
software disks.
ShapeShifter supports color displays up to 256 colors on AGA
Amigas, access to all Amiga I/O from inside Macintosh
programs, concurrent Macintosh and Amiga programs,
multichannel sound, shared clipboards, and full speed
emulation.
Upon paying a registration fee of US$40 or 50 DM, you will
receive a key which allows SCSI driver support and hard disk
partition support.

4.19.7 Spectre [Atari ST]
Originally named 'Maculator,' this emulator emulates a 128K
Mac. The most recent version allows Mac double density disks
to be read in the ST's drive. The reveiws claimed that it had
good compatiblility and speed. (Furthermore, the emulated Mac
had a screen of 640x480, instead of the 512x384 that the Mac
Plus sported.) Produced by "Gadgets by Small." (Although it is
doubtful you could get a copy from them now...)
4.19.8 vMac (portable)
This is an effort (a la UAE) to develop a Macintosh machine
emulator onto which an operating system can be loaded. Current
development efforts are being done under MS-DOS, but the
eventual aim is to have a portable emulator. At present, it is
in an *extremely* early stage of development, and is
soliciting help. The CPU is based on the 680x0 emulation
present in UAE (see section 4.4.2).
A mailing list should be available shortly.

4.20.6 fMSX Amiga [Amiga]
MSX emulator for the Amiga, based on Marat Fayzullin's fMSX
emulator (see section 4.20.5). The latest version, 1.3,
includes support for virtual tape, creation of diskimages, and
a few vital bugfixes.
fMSX Amiga split off from the main development branch at an
early stage and has become a rather different program than the
other fMSX:es. It currently supports MSX disks (both real and
virtual), cartridges of all sizes, and virtual tape. It boasts
fairly good-sounding PSG and SCC emulation, although not both
at the same time.
Despite the high version number, MSX2 features are still not
complete. VDP command emulation leaves a lot to be desired.
MSX1 emulation is complete.
fMSX Amiga requires Amiga OS 2.0, an 68020 or better, 350KB
chip memory, and 1000KB fast memory. It will make use of newer
versions of the OS, faster CPU's, and more memory, if
available. The entire program is controlled through a font
sensitive GUI.

4.25.2 PDP 8/11 Emulator [Unix]
C source for two different emulators (one does PDP-11; the
other, PDP-8). Written by Robert Supnik. Emulates J-11 CPU,
RK05/RL01/RL02 hard disks, RX01 floppy, 1 TTY line, and paper
tape. Very accurate emulation.

4.25.3 PDP8/E Emulator [MacOS]
This PDP-8 emulator includes a complete OS/8 system, FOCAL-8
and Pascal-S. It is based on code originally written by Bill
Haygood.
The simulated machine is a PDP-8/E with 4K words of memory and
an ASR 33 console teletype. Optionally a MC8-E memory
extension (with up to 32K words of memory), an EAE, an
auxiliary ASR 33 teletype, a PC8-E high speed paper tape
reader and punch, a RK8-E disk system, and a LP8-E line
printer. A real time clock can be attached to the simulated
PDP-8/E. For each device, there is a separate window which
displays the internal state of the device. The user can view
and edit the PDP-8 memory content as octal dump, assembler
instructions and typed data (ASCII, integer, floating
point,...). Other features of the simulator are breakpoints,
break opcodes, single step execution, and a trace mode for the
PDP-8/E. The teletype support uses standard Macintosh text
editor windows.
Available via e-mail from the author; written by Bernhard
Baehr <bb@informatik.uni-hannover.de>. This emulator is known
to run under Executor.

4.29 Psion
Brace yourself, folks... we've gone beyond calculator emulators
and clear into the realm of personal organizers. The Psion
machines are personal assistants (scheduler, address book,
spreadsheet, word processor , etc). They seem somewhat more
popular in Europe than the States (the only one I've ever seen
was from Switzerland, labeled in German, and made in the UK...
although Psion appears to be in Massachusets.) See the Psion

This is a commercial product. Written by Piotr Schmidt and
Piotr Wolter.
4.34.5 Java ZX Spectrum Emulator [Java]
Java. Yes, Java. No, I'm not kidding. Java. This ZX-Spectrum
emulator runs under Java. Yes, in your web browser. No,
really. It allows you to play 30 games and use Spectrum Basic
all in your web browser. It supports loading SNA and Z80
snapshots from URLs. Currently, the emulator acts as a 48k
Spectrum, with no sound support. In browsers which support JIT
compilation, it runs BASIC faster than an original Spectrum.
Some games end up being slower.

4.34.17 Warajevo [MS-DOS]
Spectrum emulator for MS-DOS machines. It uses tape image
files for tape I/O simulation; support is also provided for
loading tapes directly. This program can emulate the Spectrum
48, Spectrum 128, and Spectrum +2.
This emulator includes a machine-code monitor, Turbo Copy, a
built-in tape image management utility (including the ability
to load tape images directly from a real tape), a built-in
utility to convert Spectrum images to .EXE files for running
independent of the emulator, and a Comm program for the
Spectrum (to allow transfer of files from the Spectrum to the
PC.) All of these features have now been incorporated into the
emulator, and are accessable via a menu system. Mouse support
is included.
Enhancements for the most recent version include several speed
enhancements, bugfixes, HP Laserjet support, Microdrive
emulation, modular device drivers, support for undocumented
Z80 features, and better configuration support.
The documentation contains a full reference for ZX BASIC.
This emulator is completely free software; it has been
released into the public domain. Donations of any amount are
accepted.
As a side note, the documentation gives an interesting account
of the development of this emulator during the war in Bosnia
and Hertzegovina.

disk images, three voices on a PC speaker, true keyboard
scans, and demonstrations, in addition to the Adlib sound,
full graphics, and speed that have always been in the earlier
versions.
"For legal reasons, V9t9 includes no TI ROMs of any sort, but
comes with a transfer program that will move all the
supported ROMs, modules, and 90k disk images from your 99/4A
to your PC, ready for emulation."
[Reposted with permission]
Mr. Swartz has since become disgruntled, and will not be
releasing or supporting v9t9 in the future. Source code is now
available.
It's worth pointing out that TI99EMUL (see section 4.37.3)
includes ROM images; in order to use these, you need to make
the following modifications: run the v9t9 utility "swap" on
the rom.bin file. Call this 994arom.bin. You then need to pad
the grom0.bin, grom1.bin, and grom2.bin files out to 8k;
concatenate these to a single file, called 994agrom.bin. Place
these new files in the v9t9 ROM directory. The only problem
you may encounter is that the TI99EMUL GROMs skip over the
video chip initialization code, so the two startup screens
don't appear. The program below will pad and concatenate the
GROM files.
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<io.h>
void main(){
int i,j,x,k=0;
char mem, buff[80];
FILE *infile, *outfile = fopen("994agrom.bin","wb");
for(i=0; i<3; i++){
sprintf(buff,"grom%d.bin",i);
printf("Reading chip %d from %s... ",i,buff);
infile = fopen(buff,"rb");
for(j=0,x=0;j<8192;j++,k++){
mem = feof(infile)?(char)0:(x++,getc(infile));
putc(mem,outfile);
}
printf("%d bytes read\n",x);
fclose(infile);
}
printf("%d bytes written.\n\n",k);
fclose(outfile);
}

4.38 TO7
The TO7 was a French home computer launched in 1982. Its CPU is
a 6809.
4.38.1 FunzyTo7 [MS-DOS, Unix & X]
A TO7 emulator that runs under Unix or MS-DOS. The MS-DOS
version supports sound. It has two emulation modes:
"rigorous," which allows only 16k of memory, and "extended,"
which allows 32k of memory and use of 16 colors. The emulator
includes several game cartridge snapshots, an assembler, and a
BASIC interpreter. The DOS version requires dos4gw in order to
run.
The homepage and documentation are entriely in French.
However, even if you don't speak French, you can pretty much
figure out the installation and usage instructions by looking
for the Unix commands in the README file.

4.40 Universal Turing Machine
Alan Turing's famous Universal Turing Machine was the first
recorded concept of using a programmable machine to perform well
defined mathematical processes. In a way, it can be considered
the conceptual father of all "computers" as we know them. Turing
machines have some interesting properties, including the
theoretical property of being able to simulate any system that
can be described mathematically, given enough memory. This
concept has been often applied to mathematically 'prove' that
every machine can be emulated.
Unfortunately, most of the emulators are named very similarly,
so it can be difficult differentiating them.

5.1.1 Arcade Emulation Repository Project [MS-DOS]
There is a project underway to program a suite of emulators
for most, if not all, Z80 based arcade games. These emulators
are based on Marat's Z80 code (see section 2.12.1). Currently,
many of them are in very preliminary stages. They are all
available as source, and include a compiled binary. You must
acquire ROM images before any of these emulations will do you
any good.

5.1.18 Sparcade! [MS-DOS]
This is a multi-game arcade game emulator; basically, it
appears to be a 6502 and Z80 emulator with additional hardware
modules added on. This allows you to load in various arcade
ROMs into the emulator and play them. Currently, hardware
support is provided for Galaxians, Frogger, Amidar, Space
Invaders, Pacman, and many others.
Due to the fact that copyright laws prohibit distribution of
ROM images without permission, no images are provided with the
emulator -- it is currently targeted at collectors who have
stand-up arcade units already.
Future support will probably include 6809 and 680x0 based
arcade games.

5.1.20 Williams Arcade Classics [MS-DOS, Sony PlayStation, Windows 95]
Digital Arcade has a Williams game architecture emulator
available; it ships with Defender, Defender II, Joust,
Robotron, Sinistar, and Bubbles.
The system requirements for the PC version are an 80486/33 or
faster, 2 Megs RAM (less if you don't want sound), MS-DOS or
Windows 95, VGA graphics, and a 2x or faster CD-ROM drive.
The Windows package also includes video clips of interviews,
rare artwork, etc (this portion requires 4 Megs RAM,
MS-Windows, and SVGA). The package should be priced at about
US$30-40. Check your local software houses.
The Sony PlayStation version was released in late March 1996.
It may have some modifications to the game code -- there have
been reports that, for example, the coin-op patterns for
Pac-Man do not work.
The newer PC version, optimised for Windows 95, uses DirectX
for the graphics, has the sounds stored as .wav files (so you
can use them as system noises), and a different control panel
which allows enabling the Joust pterodactyl bug. It still has
the old DOS executables on the CD-ROM, though, if you prefer
to play them that way (just copy the executables over to your
hard drive).
An Arcade Classics 2 (the Atari collection) is available for
the PlayStation ONLY at the moment; it contains missile
command, centipede, battlezone, super breakout, asteroids, and
tempest.

5.1.21 Williams Digital Arcade [MacOS]
Very similar to the Williams Arcade Classics; however, only
three images have been released for it, and they are all sold
separately. Currently, Defender, Robotron, and Joust are
available. Also, a patch is available which allows the
Stargate (Defender II) ROM to work with the Robotron emulator.
Digital Eclipse, the developer, can be reached at +1
510/450-1740. They sell the games for about US$8.00 each.
