1 - Introduction
As a general note, I'd like to explain that all references to
resources available on the network are given in the form of a URL.
See Appendix A for an explanation if you have problems.
Additionally, the pointers to resources at FTP sites are almost
never the sole place to obtain information. If you have trouble
finding a file at a particular site, use archie to locate it at a
different place on the net. See Appendix E for more information.
The most recent version of this FAQ can be obtained from:
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/emulation-faq
[NOTE: This is not true quite yet. As soon as I hear back from
the *.answers moderators, it will start being archived there.]
1.1 Purpose
Most of the questions posed on comp.emulators.misc seem to be of
the form, "is there a XXX emulator for XXX? Where can I find
it?" This FAQ cannot pretend to answer every possible permutation
of this question, but, hopefully, it will be possible to knock out
the most common ones.
If you want a quick reference for which emulators are available
for which platform, look at the tables in Appendix F.
1.2 What is not included

4.2 MacOS
4.2.1 Executor
Executor is a Macintosh emulator which works with MS-DOS,
Linux, and NeXTstep. It was developed completely independant
of the Macintosh ROMs, so you don't have to worry about
hunting down ROM images to use it. No System 7 support is
available yet.
Program:
ftp://ftp.ardi.com/pub/
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/emulators/mac/executor.zip
4.2.2 MAE

Solaris 2.3 and PA-RISC machines with HP-UX 9.
Program & Information:
ftp://ftp.support.apple.com/pub/mae/
4.2.3 A-Max
A commerically produced Macintosh emulator for the Amiga.
The official version requires hardware for the ROMs;
however, an illegal version of this program with the ROMs
stored on disk is rumored to exist.
ReadySoft, the company which sold this emulator, neither
sells nor supports this product; in fact, they may no
longer exist.
A-Max supposedly does not work well with the latest version
of the Amiga OS.
4.2.4 Emplant
Another commericaly produced Mac emulator for the Amiga. This
is produced by Utilities Unlimited. According to my
sources, this emulator does a good job of emulating the
Mac II, IIx, and IIci. You will need to acquire Macintosh
ROM images to use this emulator.
You can contact Utilitied Unlimited at the following

4.3.6 Caldera Desktop
From bad...@phylo.life.uiuc.edu (Jonathan Badger):
"Caldera is going to release Caldera Desktop this summer
(it's already in beta). Basically it's going to be a
commercial version of Linux with a GUI desktop and Win
3.X emulation. Supposedly it will be selling for a
reasonable price (around $100). As Caldera was founded by
ex-Novell people, I believe it is basically the 'Corsair/
Expose' product that was talked about in the press last
summer before being killed off at Novell."

4.5 Magic
Magic is a multitasking operating system for the Atari ST.
It it a complete rewrite of TOS for the Macintosh, not an
emulator. Since it is written in native 680x0 code, it
typically runs faster than an ST.
4.5.1 MagiCMac
Magic for the Mac. This is a commercial product produced
by Application Systems Heidelberg. A PowerPC version is
under development. (This program may have been renamed
"MagiCSac.")
Demo:

4.6 Amiga OS
While no functioning Amiga OS emulators currently exist, there
is at least one group of citizens attempting to write one.
4.6.1 AmigOS
This is a voluntary project to port an Amiga OS compatible
operating system to other platforms. As of yet, no programs
have been produced, but it looks fairly promising. For more
information, check out their homepage.
Homepage:

5 - Machine Emulation
In many cases, especially the eariler home computers, the
operating system was so closely tied to the hardware that it is
virtually impossible to emulate one without emulating the other.
This section contains entries for these types of emulators.
5.1 Amiga
Currently, no Amiga emulators exist. About once every two
months, a huge angry argument flares up over whether such an
emulation is even feasable.
There seems to be agreement, however, that it is not possible to
make a PC drive read Amiga disks; the Amiga can read and write
in IBM format, though.
A program which purports to be an Amiga emulator for MS-DOS
machines has existed for a while. All it does is display the
Kickstart 1.2 startup image and hang your machine. (It wasn't
designed to do anything else. It's someone's sick idea of a
joke.)
5.2 BBC
The BBC appears to be a tremendously popular computer in
Europe. Unfortunately, most Americans have no idea what one is.
So, in addition to the normal entries for emulators, I've
included a not-so-brief description of what these little machines
are. Also, there exists a mailing list for BBC emulators, but
I get the distinct impression that it is primarily for
developers. For information, send mail to
bbc-emu...@bristol.ac.uk
Also, there is a BBC Home Page:
http://kestrel.fen.bris.ac.uk/students/ee2015/Welcome.html
From ce...@cee.hw.ac.uk (Paul Boddie):
"Apparently, according to folklore :-) the BBC were working with
the people who made the NewBrain computer, to design the BBC
microcomputer. However, they were persuaded to throw the
competition open to at least Acorn. There are various tales of
how Acorn, with the design of the Proton, but with no idea of
whether it would work, built the first BBC within three days
or so. It worked well enough to persuade the BBC (corporation
that is!) to adopt it as the BBC computer.
"The closest predecessor was the Atom, and various other machines
were made as 'spin-offs' including the Electron, BBC B+, Master
series, Acorn Business Computer (never released as such), and
Acorn Cambridge Workstation. (Forgive me if I have missed one
out!)
"Its key features were: 32K RAM (model B - the model A had 16K
expandible to 32K model B status), BBC BASIC 2 (early models
had BBC BASIC 1), 6502 series processor, analogue joystick
port, parallel printer port, Econet (optional?), Tube (a
second processor interface), disc interface, graphics modes
(640 * 256 * 2 colours, 320 * 256 * 4, 160 * 256 * 16 etc.),
plug in language and 'service' (such as filing system) ROM's,
and more features I could go on listing...!
"The BASIC was later upgraded to version 4 (Master) and
versions 5 and 6 (Archimedes - see comp.sys.acorn.* groups
for fans of these machines) - version 6 has IEEE floating
point support.
"The Z88 and the PC, Amiga versions of BBC BASIC seem to be
based on version 2, but only have restricted OS command
access, and may or may not have assembler access. For
emulating purposes, although BBC BASIC(86) tries to support
various graphics modes, the BASIC variants cannot do enough
to support a 'proper BBC' environment."

MacBeebEm includes instructions on how to make a cable for
BBC-to-Mac transfer for about US$4.
Note that MacBeebEm cannot run as a BBC Master micro.
Program:
ftp://blue.bad.bris.ac.uk/pub/bbc/bin/mbe/MacBeebEm.sit.hqx
5.2.2 XBeeb
XBeeb is a BBC Model B Micro Emulator for UNIX and the X
Window system; it seems to have a long way to go before it
is finished.

An emulator for the BBC which runs under Linux, SunOs, and
HPUX; it probably will compile for other systems as well.
It has been ported to Windows NT 3.11, also. You need ROM
images to run this emulator. Written by gilb...@cs.man.ac.uk

5.2.4 ???
James Associates produced a BBC emulator for the Amiga in
the late '80s/early '90s. It runs as-is on a 68000, and
requires a small patch to run on the '020 - '040. It is not
known if they are still in business; their address is/was:

ali%wgd562.u...@sb.com (Alastair Booker) about the patch:
"The best utility I have found for doing this is TUDE
(available on Aminet). If you trap the MOVE SR
instructions (select PRIVILEGED) and get it to return
1.3-like values on certain OS calls, it works OK."
[Reposted with permission]
See Appendix C for Aminet sites.
This emulator was sold as an official Commodore product
at some point, but is no longer available commercially.
It may or may not have been released into the public domain.

5.3.1 fMSX
This package includes C sources for a portable MSX/MSX2/MSX2+
emulator, and screen/keyboard drivers for Unix/X and MSDOS.
fMSX has been tested on following Unix systems:
NetBSD FreeBSD Linux SunOS Solaris OSF/1 Ultrix Irix
It was also succesfully run on Amiga, PowerMAC and IBM PC,
although no decent drivers exist for the first two systems
yet.
The most recent verision of the MSX/MSX2 emulator (0.9)
includes disk support and support for several different
kinds of MegaROM cartridges.

5.4 Sinclair Spectrum
Most of the following programs that require ROM images have
those images included. From what I've been able to discern,
Amstrad retains copyright on the ROMs, but allows free use and
distribution of them. If you need to obtain ROM images, several
are available at the following site:

5.D Atari 2600
Although there is only one emulator currently available (to my
knowledge), any attempts to load other games into a 2600
emulator will require ROM images from the cartridges. No other
images should be required, as the 2600 has no internal ROM.
Instructions on how to dump ROM images to disk are available:

5.D.1 Activision Game Pack
Activision has released a commerical "game pack" of old

how one might go about loading other games into it.

6.2.1 Gemulator
There are two version of Gemulator available. Gemulator 3.0
has been out for three years now, and runs on on a 80386 or
better under MS-DOS. This product lists around US$100 in the
US and DM 300 in Europe. Gemulator 4.0 will be released
around June 1995; it runs under Windows 3.1 with win32s,
Windows 95, and OS/2 Warp. It will list around US$150.
Both versions require Atari ST ROMs, which you install on an
8-bit ISA card.
This emlulator reportedly has trouble with games that use
copy protection schemes.
From Darek Mihocka, developer:
"The web page includes a link to a list of all our dealers in
the U.K., Germany, Holland, France, and Australia. People in
those countries can directly buy Gemulator from those dealers
in addition to buying it from us."

Appendix A - URL Formats
A URL will generally look something like this:
http://spam.foo.com/pub/stuff/
+-1-+ +----2-----++----3----+
The first section tells you what protocol to use to access the
data. (ftp for ftp; http for WWW browsers, like Netscape; gopher
for gopher, and so on). The second part tells which machine the
information is kept on, and the third part gives a full path to
the file or files being referenced.
All the URLs in this document should work with WWW browsers.
Appendix B - DEC VTxxx Control Sequences
From fr...@ifi.unibas.ch (Robert Frank):
The folowing sequences are written within < > and using spaces
for easier reading. DO NOT type the spaces or the < > unless
they are explicitly given as "space" or "<", ">" respectively.
The term chr(n), where n is a value of 0 through 255, denotes a
character with that decimal value.
The letter P followed by a label (or just "n") stands for a
numerical value (ascii digits i.e. 25). A parameter can be
omitted, in which case it will assume a certain default
value (denoted as D:n). If a sequence can take more than
one parameter (given as p followed by a label) then the
paramters are separated by semicolons (;).

Appendix C - Emulator FTP Sites
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/emulators/
Contains emulators for Commodore-64s, Apple 2s, TRS-80s, and Macs.
[If this brings up a blank list in your browser, you may want to
try a normal FTP program. Wilbur does not like ls -l commands...]
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Emulators/
Although this seems to be designed for Linux systems, most of the
source code will compile for just about any Unix system. This site
gets really busy, so you might want to use one of the mirrors
listed below.

ftp://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/SimTel/msdos/emulator/
ftp://nctuccca.edu.tw/PC/simtel/emulator/
Mirrors of the SimTel MS-DOS emulator directory. SimTel used to
be a public-access FTP site until it grew too large; all it
does now is get mirrored. For a more complete list of SimTel
sites, send an email message to list...@SimTel.Coast.NET with
only the following in your message: get simtel-download.info
ftp://ftp.nvg.unit.no/pub/sinclair/utils/
Contains most available Spectrum emulators.

Appendix E - Archie
The pointers to resources at FTP sites are almost never the sole
place to obtain information. If you have trouble finding a file
at a particular site, use archie to locate it at a different place
on the net. In most cases, you should have an archie client on
your system (type "man archie" for instructions).
If you appear not to have an archie client, you can telnet to one
of the sites listed below and login as "archie" (no password). If
you need further help once you log in, type "help" at the prompt.

read and write from them via excel, word etc. I'm not after a full blown
