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/emulators-faq
A hypertext version of the FAQ is available at:
http://www.why.net/home/adam/cem/
If you don't have FTP or WWW access, you can request the most
recent version of this FAQ by sending mail to
with the text "send
pub/usenet/news.answers/emulators-faq/*" in the body of the
message.
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.
There is also quite a bit of information which could be useful
to developers (pointers to specifiations, etc) contained in this
FAQ.
1.2 What is not included
This document excludes topics that are not covered by the
comp.emulators.misc charter (see appendix F), such as sound card
emulation (use comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.misc), math
co-processor emulation (use comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.misc), and
the X windowing system (use comp.windows.x). For the record,
there is no such thing as an X "emulator;" X is a standard. You
IMPLEMENT it on a platform, not EMULATE it.
Furthermore, this document specifically excludes those machines
for which an emulation FAQ has already been written. You may
wish to check the FAQ archives listed in appendix H.
Specific FAQs which should be referenced instead of this
document follow.
1.2.1 Apple II Emulators
Maintained by Alex Maddison :
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.emulators.apple2/
http://www.cs.ruu.nl/wais/html/na-dir/apple2/emulators-faq/
part1.html
There is also a web page which has a collection of Apple II
emulator resources. Maintained by Jonathan Badger
:
http://geta.life.uiuc.edu/~badger/apple2.html
One final note; there appear to be a bunch of Apple II
applications available from:
http://www.asimov.net/apple_II/site/
1.2.2 Atari 8-Bit Emulators (400/800/XL/XE)
This FAQ is posted on the 1st of each month to
comp.emulators.misc. Maintained by Bill Kendrick

Note that, since the 8-bit FAQ mentions the ST line only in
passing, I will be including entries for ST emulators in this
document.

1.3 General Resources
1.3.1 Tenabis Emulator Classes
Sebastien Brochet has put together
some interesting C++ classes that may prove interesting and
useful to potential emulator developers. He also has a small
virtual machine ("Tiny Emulator") and an assembler for that
machine ("TinyAsm") available from the same page. Sebastien is
using these classes to implement an Atari ST emulator.

2.2 6800
2.2.1 68em [MS-DOS]
6800 emulator for DOS; includes a realtime O/S.
I have very little information about this program, other than
a report that the ROL direct instruction does not rotate the
carry flag into the low bit of the operand properly (although
ROLA does). If anyone can find a version of 68em dated after
1991-Jun-15, a pointer to that may be helpful.

2.4 6811
2.4.1 M68HC11 emulator

and has several styles of breakpoints for debugging. See the
homepage for more information.

2.5.4 EMU68 [Unix, MS-DOS]
M68000 emulator for MS-DOS and UNIX. This emulator was
developed as part of a MS thesis. It is written entirely in
C++, and the source code is available. On a '486-33, it runs
about 1/50th as fast as an MVME101 (an embedded procssor
board). Two separate sets of source are available -- one for
MS-DOS (which is known to work with the Borland C++
compilers), and one for Unix.
The emulator does not support the following opcodes: ABCD,
CHK, MOVEP, NBCD, SBCD, and TAS.
The developer has offered to supply development documents to
anyone who needs to modify the source code.
Developed by Zijian Huang (formerly
).

2.7 80x86
2.7.1 Bochs [Unix & X]
This is an 80x86 emulator which runs on most Unix platforms
under X. It emulates the CPU, BIOS and I/O environment of an
IBM AT compatible PC.
Currently, the program is in Alpha, but it has an impressive
list of accomplishments. It can handle 386 opcodes, and runs
DOS 5.0 & 6.22 and Windows 3.1 (in standard mode). Hardware
support includes Hercules graphics, PIC, timers,
1.44M/1.2M/760K floppies, and AT keyboard. Plans are to
emulate VGA graphics.
Currently, Bochs does not support networking, numerics
coprocessor, or mouse emulation. Tasking & paging are missing
in the CPU support, but paging is currently being implemented.
For embedded systems developers, PC BIOS developers, O/S
developers, CPU vendors, etc, Bochs supports the use of an
external BIOS, and provides a compile time option for linking
with an external CPU simulation environment.

2.7.2 Emplant [Amiga]
See section 6.6.1.
2.7.3 SoftProbe 386/SIM [MS-Windows, MS-DOS, SunOS, AIX, VMS]
This product provides full simulation of the Intel 386 and
387, as well as many common support chips such as the 8254,
8259, etc. It includes a symbolic/source-level debugger and
many ICE-like features such as trace and triggers. Its
targeted users include embedded system developers, PC BIOS
developers, O/S developers, CPU vendors, and trainers for
protected mode development.
Versions for the 386EX and the 486 are also available.

3.2 Amiga OS
While no functioning Amiga OS emulators currently exist, there
is at least one group of citizens attempting to write one. See
also section 4.4.2.
3.2.1 AmigOS (work in progress)
This is a voluntary project to port an Amiga OS compatible
operating system to other platforms. As of yet, no programs
have been produced, and the pages have not changed in quite a
while. What started out as a fairly promising project appears
to have stalled or died. For more information, check out their
homepage.
