PockEmul 2.1.0 – One more step to PockEmul Everywhere

Dear PockEmul fans, I am pleased to announce the next PockEmul release, it will be available in the next few days.

The business model change (subscription fee) was challenging and we want to thank all the PockEmul community to support us. It is, in our opinion, the only way to secure PockEmul’s future.
To comfort the trust of our existing customers and gain the trust of future fans, we must continually add new features and make PockEmul better and better.

YOUR CURRENT POCKEMUL SUBSCRIPTION IS ‘ALL INCLUSIVE’
All the new added features are and will be included.

Forever.

Following PockEmul for Android, I am very proud to introduce the next step to PockEmul EveryWhere:

  • PockEmul for Windows
  • PockEmul Cloud

As all new main releases, it will also provide several new emulated devices:

  • The Canon X-07
  • HP-41 module management

PockEmul EveryWhere

PockEmul EveryWhere is the vision of making your emulation / development environment available on all platforms, sharing the same emulated sessions. It is a wide perimeter with the following not limited components:

  • PockEmul Android on mobile phone (Available on Google play)
  • PockEmul Android on tablet (Available on Google play)
  • PockEmul for Windows (Now available)
  • PockEmul for Web (Future) : Web-assembly, currently being tested
  • PockEmul for IOS (Future)
  • PockEmul for OSX (Future)
  • PockEmul Cloud (Now available) : same sessions available from all platforms
  • PockEmul Community (Future) : Share / Exchange / Comment sessions with friends, groups of interest, …

PockEmul Android was until today, the only available part of this vision. With PockEmul 2.1.0, PockEmul Windows and PockEmul Cloud will be released.

PockEmul for Windows

The same level of features as PockEmul for Android with the added benefit of a big screen,a mouse and a keyboard. You can have multiple devices on screen at the same time. It has the same look and feel as PockEmul on a tablet. It’s Pockemul on steroids!

A huge Pockemul Windows session with Fx-8000g, PC-1262, PC-1600, PC-E500, JR-800, X-07, PB-1000C and HP-15C. ALL RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME !!!!!!!

The desktop keyboard is not perfectly managed at the moment because some emulated device keyboards are so specific. But for non conventional keys, everything is available by mouse clic or touch screen.

PockEmul for Windows will be available for download on pockemul.com and will come with 6 fully emulated models for free: HP-41CX, FX-8000G, TI-57, Sharp PC-1245, Sharp PC-1350 and Sharp PC-1500.

All devices and features are automatically activated through PockEmul Android with an active subscription by registering to PockEmul Cloud. Here is how :

  • You register to PockEmul Cloud on PockEmul Android, with an active subscription.
  • You request access to PockEmul Cloud from PockEmul for Windows. It will give you a code.
  • On PockEmul Android you Enter the corresponding code and voilĂ ! PockEmul Windows is then activated without limitations. You can use PockEmul for Windows even with no internet connection (the activation is valid during 7 days between two Cloud connections).

PockEmul Cloud

All your sessions are actually stored in the ‘pockemul/sessions’ local directory. With PockEmul Cloud you can now store your sessions into the Cloud.

The immediate tremendous value is to bring all your Pocket & Handheld computer World to all your platforms : your mobile Phone, your tablet and your Desktop computers (up to 2 desktop machines).

Here is your personal Cloud on your mobile phone.
Here is your personal Cloud on your Windows desktop .

Terms & conditions

PockEmul Cloud is provided to all active subscriptions as a free beta service. We need some time and some feedback from all our users to adjust some features and limitations before including it officially in the PockEmul Subscription.

IT WILL NOT BE A SEPARATE SUBSCRIPTION.
We know that a part of our community has some doubts about the Subscription model. We want to convince them that it has a huge return of investment by adding more and more features for the same fee. We need your support to make PockEmul better and better.

  • The PockEmul Cloud, as a Beta service, is not guaranteed and may be terminated without notice.
  • You are responsible for all data stored in your personal cloud.
  • We will never use nor access sessions stored in your personal cloud. They remain your personal property.

  • You can create folders and sub-folders to group your sessions.

  • The total size of your cloud is limited to 20 MB.

    1. Thank you. I never thought to add th PC-3000 to PockEmul. Perhaps because it is not enough old 🙂
      But you’re right, it is a wonderful machine and its CPU is yet emulated in PockEmul in the Casio Z1.
      I think it should not be too difficult to find the ROM.
      I will investigate this.

      1. anyone who can answer an enquiry by someone who has not yet subscribed (doing that in a few minutes) in under 10 minutes is worthy of respect. I used to take my PC-3000 everywhere and I mainly ran something called Lotus Agenda – an amazing program, nearest modern equivalent is something like Obsidian. Just joined your discord community
