Although it used to be commercially sold, the new versions of Gemulator are all being released as freeware. Gemulator was the first Atari ST emulator. Basically, it does everything, it does it well, it does it fast, and it does it accurately. FAST also reached ST emulation firsts: Emulation of the HD6301V1P at hardware level and redirection of the floppy disk controller to the PC hardware floppy disk controller. It was originally named Oidemu and there are still many things not emulated yet.įAST just isn't a catchy name.this ST/STf/Mega ST/STe/Mega STe and Amiga 500/500+/600/1000/2000/3000 emulator was written in pure 486 protected-mode assembly. There are also some ports to other operating systems like macOS or Windows.ĪRAnyM is a software virtual machine (similar to VirtualBox or Bochs) designed and developed for running 32-bit Atari ST/TT/Falcon operating systems (TOS, FreeMiNT, MagiC and Linux-m68k) and TOS/GEM applications on any kind of hardware - be it an IBM clone (read it as "PC" :-), an Apple, an Unix server, a graphics workstation or even a portable computer.Ĭurrently it runs Oids, and a few other games. entered into a period of relative inactivity.2 GHz for Falcon emulation) which is running a POSIX compatible operating system (preferably GNU/Linux) that supports the SDL library. SoftMac and Gemulator remained under active development until about 2003, when Emulators, Inc. The company made waves in 2001 by promoting a PowerPC emulator, 1), a product that was not delivered. stable of emulators grew to include Fusion, a DOS-based Macintosh emulator, which the company purchased from competitor Microcode Solutions. Gemulator, like SoftMac, later dropped the requirement of a ROM board. The two emulators would later split into separate retail products. Gemulator PRO was soon superseded by Gemulator 99, a CD-ROM package that included both Gemulator PRO and SoftMac, a version of Gemulator's Macintosh emulation component that did not require the use of a ROM board.
To have an actual ROM BIOS installed on the card cost extra - from $20 for a 128K 68000 ROM from a black and white Macintosh Plus to $150 for a ROM from a color Macintosh IIci. At that time the emulator (with the required ROM card) retailed online for $149.95. Gemulator PRO (released in early 1999) emulated up to a 68040 Macintosh in Windows. Unlike current releases of Gemulator, this version required that a ROM card be installed on the host machine. The company's first release of a Mac emulator for that platform was Gemulator 98 (released in late 1997), which included a classic Macintosh emulation (a 68000 processor) along with its familiar Atari emulation.
is known mostly as a developer of Macintosh emulators for Windows.
