  • Doesn't seem to support non-QWERTY keboards :(

  • Can it integrate with a mobile keyboard if I opened it up on a phone? I'm eager to explore the directory contents quickly on the XT. :-)

  • besides the fact that it was written in rust, rust happens to be a really nice language to write emulators, you don't have to think much about threading and not much abut memory management, rust makes that easy => you can concentrate on your pixels. Moreover LLM grasp it very well so that you can get a bit more spare time for your emulator-side-project.

    It was very long since I wrote any sort of C++ and using rust was pretty refreshing.

    Second "besides": marty's PC may not have a lot of breadth in terms of supported hardware, but it gets the accuracy totally right. It's a very special kind of achievement.

    (I'm not a rust fanboy :-) I just appreciate the language for writing my emulator)

  • Adlib support! At least someone else remembers it wasn't only Soundblaster.

  • Ironically, and unfortunately, this doesn't actually emulate the FM Towns Marty (or even the regular FM Towns PC) like I assumed it would.

  • Hi, thanks for checking out MartyPC. I'm the developer if there are any questions.

  • One of the amazing things about this project is that the author built physical harnesses for real early CPUs so that he could build test suites against the real hardware and ensure the emulation is 100% correct, down to every timing and quirk of the original hardware.
