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 ;) Rob - Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
