There will likely be several more before this version is completed, as more and more features are tested and developed over time.

What you are seeing here is a pre-release of the next emulator release. And finally, a new version of the configuration file format is currently in development which will allow the selection of advanced configuration settings while remaining completely compatible with the earlier releases and with PCE.

The other areas of the system have also changed to accommodate for the new machines (in this case the IBM PS/2 Model 25/30). The CPU code, for example, has gone through a major overhaul in order to support both the Intel 80186 and lower and the Intel 80386 at the same time, and will continue to change as more and more of the 80386 CPU-related features are added back and tested over time. While earlier releases of the emulator itself have been released previously, the emulator itself has changed significantly since then. The first of these features was the Intel 80386 CPU, which would require a major overhaul of the CPU code in order to support the new CPU, with support for new machines planned. The idea was to take the already stable and functionally excellent PCE emulator code, and extend it further to support new features such as new machines and new CPUs. Originally, I had started work on an emulator that was based off of PCem, but when that didn't work out (not only due to emulator problems causing the particular PCem version's compiled binaries to crash on my machine but also due to other people's attitudes and even various 'restrictions' on sharing binaries built with the code itself despite supposedly being 'free and open source' software that was even supposed to have been released under the GNU Public License which explicitly states that free usage and sharing is required by the license as a fact), I instead started development on a completely new emulator for my projects, based off of PCE. The idea for it originally started when I was becoming more and more extremely displeased with the state (or more like lack thereof) of 'emulation' that was being seen in most emulators, particularly for the IBM PC product line which many so-called historians and emulator developers prefer to ignore. Please report any problems with the SVN host in this topic here.Īs some of you may know, I have been developing an emulator for the IBM PC, known as The Virtual Computer Collection. The remainder of the emulator will also be moved to the new SVN host. The emulator is currently in process of being migrated to an SVN repository system. As of now, the latest source code is now available and is already being provided at the SVN link posted here.
