New features in PockEmul 2.10.0
After several posts introducing the main new models in PockEmul 2.10.0, this post takes a closer look at the new features included in this release.
- IWS-video for the Sharp PC-1500.
- New Sharp PC-1445 – included in the PC-14xx package.
- Keyboard Simulator with Kana first integration.
- Some User Interface enhancement ( Contextual Menu, Virtual Joypad, …)
- Bug fixes.
- Licensing évolution
The Sharp PC-1211 Simulator
In PockEmul 2.10.0
It has now been more than ten years since I started working on the simulation of the Sharp PC‑1211. This machine was the very first pocket computer programmable in BASIC, and it is truly frustrating not to have it available in PockEmul (just like the Casio FX‑702P, by the way).
So, while waiting for access to its ROM—something I still hope will happen—simulation remains the only viable path forward.
The HP-41cx feature extension
( In PockEmul 2.10.0 )
The HP‑41CX had gone far too long without any updates in PockEmul. I believe the next area of development will focus on the HP‑IL module.
- Internal Extended Memory up to 600 registers
- Overlays management
- Raw file management
The Elektronika MK-90
( In PockEmul 2.10.0 )
The Elektronika MK‑90 has always been a fascinating machine to me. I’ve long wanted to integrate it into PockEmul because of its unique characteristics that fully justify its place ( a powerful CPU, a large display, … ).
Getting familiar with this computer will be a real challenge for pocket computer enthusiasts, since it uses Russian messages rather than the English interface common to most pocket computers of that era.
The MK‑90 features two extension slots for RAM/ROM modules and a companion device—the MK‑92, a plotter combined with a cassette output (not emulated yet in PockEmul).
