They actually work quite well - there's a guy in the US (whose name temporarily escapes me) who's cut a nice fast Z80 emulator and wrapped emulation for the various older consoles around it. You can pop the ROMs from your old favories in the ol' rom-sucker and dump the images onto disk, or you can tap into the healthy underground movement that's distributing old images from deceased products. About the only gripe I have is that they only support 8-bit colour, and I loathe 8-bit colour. > -Peter -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
