Index of links to 8-bit Acorn Emulators

[ThomasHarte]

Tested in [desktop] Safari 13.1.2 (an up-to-date version), the following worked:

• jsatom;
• Tiny Emulators;
• virtualkc;
• Elk JS; and
• JSBeeb.

So, assuming I didn't miss any, only HTeMuLator failed. It worked in Firefox so I'm pretty sure Safari is the relevant factor.

Thanks Thomas. I'll get that updated asap, probably Saturday as I'm planning on having a hangover tomorrow

[sydney]

I've added the information provided by Thomas. I'll be testing in firefox myself in the next couple of days so if you are a chrome/edge/other user feel free to let us know how the browser based emulators run in your browser.

EDIT: So that didn't take very long! Everything worked in Firefox just slowly as my laptop is rubbush!

[ThomasHarte]

Sorry, update on this: HTeMuLator now seems to work in Safari. Same version of Safari, same machine, same ad blockers, same everything.

[sydney]

I had the same problem with jsatom in Firefox. I was about to edit the thread but went back and tried it again and it worked!

Can I suggest that the emulators for RISC OS be included in this list?
BeebIt by Michael Foot https://mjfoot.netlify.app/bbc.htm
and
6502em by Murklesoft http://www.borcherds.co.uk/murklesoft/r ... 502em.html which also emulates the Electron and is commercial software.

Cheers!

I'll look at this over the next few days (if I haven't already).
I recently did a fresh install of linux mint 20 and I no longer needed to install each individual part of allegro 5 so I've updated the post about that, either in this thread or whichever thread this thread links to.

Done!
Is that good enough? I'm a complete noob when it comes to RISC OS.

[fwibbler]

Looks fine now.
Thanks for that.

[nicolagiacobbe]

I for sure do not want to undercut anyone efforts but at: https://archive.retro-kit.co.uk/bbc.nvg ... .php3.html there is a very comprehensive list (if a little dated) of emulators that could be least used as a starting point.
Do you think we could borrow at least the names from the list? I do not know if Robert Schmidt would object to essentially duplicating his efforts.

[sydney]

Does anyone think this is worth doing? I've gone through the list as far as BeebinC and everything is either a dead link, unsupported (eg dos based) or massively out of date (BeebinC was last updated to 0.99f on 15/7/98).
I originally made this list as we were getting a lot of questions about emulators, where to get them and how set them up. It's not really meant as a historical record of acorn emulators.

[BigEd]

If there isn't anything currently usable in that list, maybe it's enough to link to the list, so it doesn't get lost.

Regarding:

System 1

Acorn Microcomputer Emulator
Website: http://speleotrove.com/acorn/acornEmulator.html
Windows: Install and run. Linux: Wine needed. macOS: Unknown

This works fine on macOS under Wine and Crossover (basically also Wine).

[LeckyT]

FWIW: BeebEm and ElectrEm both run fine under Wine on a Chromebook (Acer CB3-431) with the Linux container enabled. Slowly, at times, but that's just my old hardware I think!

[BeebInC]

This does actually exist. I just never released it into public.

C# and monogame.

Cheers

The b-em links are from 2017.
I'll look for newer ones when I get on my pc.
