The port of which I spoke was DASM. If the secret cabal that holds the source
code captive for the Macintosh Stella would release it, the Macintosh Stella
could start to begin to have parity with the DOS versions which are now at
1.1... and maybe even have a 68k version of Stella [if one doesn't exist now].
I'm sure this cabal claims performance on 68k isn't high enough, but they're C++
programmers. I'd not mind making a 68k port that would run 60FPS on 33Mhz
hardware. And make it not use crappy checksumming 'nyms, as well as provide for
manual overrides in case those breakdown too.
You can get my DASM port on Ruffin Bailey's Mactari pages.
I used to code Virtual Machines when I was a kid... the VCS sounds a pretty
simple machine, aside from the weirdnesses of the graphics hardware.

Heheh. I always thought one of the defining personality traits of a programmer
was Perfectionism. :)
