I just thought of something, Has anyone heard of ANY Commodor Pet emulators anywhere? I remember them from school...

Just wondered.

There's VICE, which is available for a variety of platforms - including Acorn RISC, so I guess it's possible it could be ported (although I'm no expert).

Details here:

Also emulates the VIC20 which we don't have for the GP32 yet, which would be nice...
 
u know what would be cool tamagotchi for gp32 imagine all those dinosaurs u could have walking across the screen in the middle of a game :).
 
Tamagotchis on a gp32 would be great.

lol, theres a new project for someone to start.

Soo... what kind of pet was this thread supposed to be about?
 
A Pet was a computer made by Commodore (same company as C64, that Frodo emulates). It had a built in screen (green or amber) and was built like a brick sh!t-house. They had built in BASIC too. It also had a very 'beepy' sound.

They were used in schools (at least here in the UK) before BBC Micros...

...first computer I ever wrote anything on. :rolleyes:

This what one looked like:
