If I upgraded to intel Mac or just bought a cheapy WinPC laptop, all my emulator wants would be swiftly granted.

It's the same way with the TI99 and the old MacV9T9 emulator I use for that computer.Ī lot of my issues are using a 'vintage' PPC Mac to do all this. Till I want to play with extended memory, then it's found to be lacking and I go looking again. So I stick with ZXSP, which is a bit dated and limited but works fine and scratches my ZX-itch. But what I have to do to just play a game I wrote for the TS1000 makes double-emulation too much bother. Getting a flavor of Windows would be nice to have beyond my ZX81 emulator quest, since Classic 99, one of the better TI99/4A emulations is also Windows-based. I keep the folders around and give it another go some other day when I get the urge again. Oh, I can fuddle my way there, but there's always a stumbling block. Which to me is just another app to learn the ropes of both it and DOS/Windows. So now I'm downloading and trying various flavors of PC/Windows emulators. And maybe using os9 Classic, which is in itself yet another layer of emulation. Things such as emulating a PC in order to run the ZX81 emulator. It's a bit amazing sometimes the hoops to jump through to emulate an older and far simpler computer, such as the ZX81 et al. It kinda goes back to my earlier observation.
