NES emulator in FreeBASIC

I ported a NES emulator I wrote in VB6 several years ago over to FreeBASIC. It's admittedly a sloppy port, you'll see some things in here that have been commented out and not removed, things that are kludges to replace VB6-specific features, a lot of data types used have more appropriate alternative...

Re: 80486 emulator with SVGA in BASIC!!!!!

Think on it: I am a programmer since old time of QBasic, and I still have old habits, difficult to change, such as the use of "GOTO". There's absolutely nothing inherently wrong with using GOTO. In fact for projects like this, it probably is often the best and fastest way to do certain th...

Re: 80486 emulator with SVGA in BASIC!!!!!

there are a few failures that I can not fix, and that prevent some programs from running, such as "EMM386" or WIN95. For example, WIN95 works (the installer), but when the installation completes, it gives a serious error and is terminated. I have tried to get more speed by changing some o...

Re: 80486 emulator with SVGA in BASIC!!!!!

I know!!! I know your emulator for years !!! ;-) I followed your work, and it was my inspiration to get to this emulator. I spent a lot of time working on improving your emulator to try to get an 80286, but I did not get it, especially because of the privileged modes. In the end "throw in the ...

Re: 80486 emulator with SVGA in BASIC!!!!!

That's pretty awesome. I wrote a FreeBASIC 80186 PC emulator in 2011 that worked really well. It ran most old games, Windows 3.0 and MINIX, etc. A few years later, I ported it to VB6 for fun.

It took 8 years, but I've been officially beaten now with a 486 emulator. Good work! :)

I'm impressed.
