Has anyone gotten Z26 to run under DOSEMU or WINE? I tried using PCAE
under vmware last year; sound didn't work and when I entered the debugger
it locked the virtual machine up hard. Dual booting isn't an option
because my development machine is also my web, file and print server.
Yeah, I have another home PC that runs Windows but I don't really want to
write code using a 25" TV as a monitor.
I've looked at the Z26 source and my current skills are definitely below
porting that much assembler to Linux. Here's hoping the MESS guys
eventually get an accurate 2600 emulation going, since apparently our two
choices right now are pirating Win98 or using inaccurate emulation :P
On the 'bright' side, anyone who switches to Win2k or WinXP may very well
have the same problems ;)
