Which New Emu Would You Like To Come Next?

[ColinR]

Maybe the Amiga is the "other" 68K project mentioned in the Squidge Megadrive emulator thread.

The Amiga was trully the greatest home computer of it's time. Never could afford one at the time - though I nearly bought an Amiga 600 when I started work. My bike was then stolen (thankyou pikeys from the Peterborough area) so had to spend the savings on replacing it.

AMSTRAD CPC !!!^^

Now that I have seen more pics, definetly Amiga!

Um...I can't decide. I really don't care for any of those ( )

Obviously never used an Amiga then

Back in 1987 when I first bought an Amiga (1.2 500) it came with a BBC emulator that would happily run simple games etc. and it could multitask 7 bbc emus at once in 512k RAM.

My current Amiga is a 12 year old A1200 with an extra 32MB of RAM and and 40 mhz processor upgrade and it STILL makes my Athlon 2.4 PC seem like a slouch in normal operation. It can emulate a MAC a 386 PC running win 95 and Gameboy a spectrum and c64 and many others. I'm using it to create graphics for a GP32 game currently.

Basically if Commodore had marketed the thing properly we would be using Amigas today not PCs and a much better place the world would be.

Hmm... I have to say, the machine I'd love to see emulated would be the PC98, purely and simply because the translations for it look so delicious on donut.parodius.com. Unfortunately, they're also at 640x400 most probably, since that's what the machine ran with. So I doubt it'll turn up.

That said, I suspect the Amiga would offer us more. By a long way - the community is so damn active. Plus, if the emu was very very very good, we might just possibly (only just possibly) find outselves able to emulate an x86 on it using whatever that emulator veteran Amiga users keep mentioning that did its stuff through some dynamic recompilation...

Which would be very very very sweet, if a tad unlikely.

i voted for amiga

 

[Mikey]

Gotta be Amiga, best machine ever. Without a doubt the most played emulator on my pc.

 

[ste_167]

A port of VivaNonno, the Namco System 22 emulator, please

 

[Octavious]

where can I find a bunch if amiga info that actually tells how good it is?\\

[Steve-O]

what's the Amiga?? :huh: :huh:

All you need to know is, The Amiga Kicks ass... ...

Worst thing about the original amiga Is the Original Mouse, My mouse is useless But still most games on it use a Controller and Keyboard so its not that bad ...

I would love an Amiga Emu, but isnt it suposed to be one of the hardest to emulate cos it has lots of custom chips in it or something ?????????

 

[noshir]

amstrad cpc of course B)

me too i plan to port one cpc emulator when i'll have time if noone else do it before...

even if there is nobody anymore in the world using the gp32, i would do it just for me

Check out these screenshots and scene pics for some idea of what the Amiga was/is capable of.

By the way the Back to the roots website has hundreds of LEGAL game downloads for the Amiga.

I voted TI-99/4a, but I would really like to see Intellivision and G7200/7400 emulators.

They are fairly slow machines (especially compared to Amiga and X68000), so I expect they would take less work to perfect.

The TI-99/4a had nice versions of Demon Attack and Microsurgeon...

 

[Twinbee]

My vote is still heavily on the X68000.

Ooh, Ooh, all the same, news at www.atariage.com:


A test release of the newest version of the Atari 2600 emulator Stella has been announced and is now available for downloading. Versions for Linux and Windows are available, and the source is included as well. The biggest change from Stella 1.3 is the codebase is now based on the Simple Directmedia Layer (SDL). The Windows version is currently command-line based, but a GUI version will eventually be made available. New features include an OpenGL backend and event remapping that allows keyboard/joystick remapping of nearly every Stella function. You can download Stella 1.4 here and dicuss it in our Emulation Forum.


That should be a fairly straightforward port...

 

[Octavious]

are the pis in the back to roots from the amiga?

~Octavious

looks like a SNES

 

[TandeM]

Toss-up...with the ASM 68k core, I'd go for emus of the x68000, Sega System 16, Amiga, improved Atari ST, Namco/Taito/Konami's 68k arcade hardware, CPS-1/2 (Mars Matrix on GP32 would definently drop some jaws), or Neo-Geo (last 2 would need that 32MB RAM mod, though.)

 

[Twinbee]

Agreed on Mars Matrix.

That game owns me. Third level on one life then I get royally creamed.

Burn the Heretic

Seriously though, the Amiga p*ssed all over the snes from a great height. I know more people who had Amiga's than had snes' (that could be due to my age though )

download an emulator and see for yourself.

 

[skysnapper]

Amiga but realstically it aint gonna happen at usable speed...

what the hell's a Mophun? :huh:
