I plan to use the old iBook to run older software and maybe even an old emulator or two as well. I’ve upgraded the RAM to 1.25GB now and it’s pretty good.
Getting ready to fix up an old iBook G4
Tag: Emulation
I’ve always been interested in emulating one operating system within an other.
My videos: Commodore 64 Emulation on Pocket PC
My videos: ZX Spectrum Emulation 1
I don’t experiment with it so much anymore, but I used to quite a lot before. I think I always wanted to find that perfect device that could do everything, and often the only way was with an emulator of some kind.
Palm OS virtual machines
You probably know by now that I’m a bit obsessed by the old Palm OS and PDAs in general.
One of the best emulators for Palm OS is PHEM. It runs on Android. PHEM works by using Palm OS ROMs. You can load as many ROMs as you want and then from those ROMs create as many sessions or virtual machines as you want.
This is pretty impressive. I’m just getting back to this and will be creating a variety of little machines soon.
AxisPad running in my Dell Axim
It’s nice to start to see this device take shape. I’m really hoping that it’s going to be a productive and useful device again.
Emulating things
Today it’s time to get a few more things sorted out for the StyleTap emulator on Windows Mobile. I think that one day this device might actually be quite useful if everything goes to plan.
Bhajis on the 3G
Installed. No problem! Great to have it back.
There’s a Microbe in my 3G
Now I’ve got the excellent Microbe running under StyleTap on my old iPhone 3G. Of course, the original version of Microbe was built to run on a much less powerful device, so in theory it should do quite well. Next I need to get the big one up and running.
Bhajis Loops.
ZX on 3G
Getting some music software running on my Jailbroken 3G. Not sounding great so far, but let’s see how it goes. More soon.
Hello Einstein
Einstein running on Android. So far I haven’t been able to do much with it as it’s so slow, but I’ll keep at it and see how I get on with it.
