Mitchell's blogJPC: x86 Emulator on the JVMPosted by johnm on May 10, 2008 at 4:55 PM PDT
Okay, I must be slipping... I can't believe that I've either totally missed this or completely forgotten about it: At each JavaOne, I end up asking lots of people what, if anything, they've seen that's particularly cool, interesting, etc. This year, I was chatting with Cliff and he mentioned JPC -- an open-source emulator for x86 code. JPC is written Java and so you can run all sorts of old DOS programs on any machine that supports the JVM. This includes a lot of old DOS games. [And now I feel old for playing too many of them when they were new.] Hmm... I wonder if I can find some old GEOS disks and get it installed and running. :-) »
