Dear PockEmul’s fans, we are pleased to announce the new PockEmul release. It will be available in the next few week.
We are in the final testing phase looking for the most obvious bugs.
This new version brings several new models and some new features:
- New HP-71b package.
- New Elektronika MK-90 package.
- New Sharp PC-1211 Simulator (only available for subscribers as a preview because it still have a lot of bugs).
- IWS-video for the Sharp PC-1500.
- New Sharp PC-1445 – included in the PC-14xx package.
- Modules & Features for the HP-41CX package enhanced.
- Sharp PC-1261/62 LC-3 compiler
- Virtual Joypad
- Keyboard Simulator with Kana first integration.
- Some User Interface enhancement.
- Bug fixes.
- Sharp PC-1500 and Tandy PC-2 free models are limited to base memory configuration. CE-150 is not free anymore.
- Only 64bit release. 32 bit release is not available anymore on Android.
I’m fully aware that it’s been quite a while since version 2.9 was released.
You might be wondering why I don’t publish smaller releases more frequently, each with fewer models, instead of waiting to deliver a larger release with several models at once.
The truth is, I find it difficult to focus on a single model and bring it to completion from start to finish.
Very often, the final imperfections prevent me from reaching the required level of quality, and solving them takes a lot of trial and error before the right solution emerges.
Working on multiple models in parallel helps me maintain both my curiosity and my motivation.
Rather than writing one long post detailing all the new features, I’ll spread the announcements across several posts leading up to the release date—and possibly even after.
