Playing around with #z80pack, a proper emulation of #Altair8080 and #Imsai8080. I never got it to work on Windows, because I couldn't get to grips with the complexity of CygWin's dependencies. On #Debian, a simple "make clean" and "make all" is enough. And the Imsai simulator starts with its graphical control panel.

Has anyone of you ever managed to get #Z80Pack running under Windows 11? I'm now at the point where the cygfrontpanel.dll and all the exe including tool files are compiled. They start without an error message (access violation). But when started it I''m always getting "can't bind to server socket" (imsaisim) or "can't open pipe auxin".
Does anyone has a tip or a source for a new working version for Windows?! I'm absolutely at a loss.

Just a small patch to write core & CPU-state at runtime for Udo Munk's z80sim. Shall implement the reverse operation, too.

Fun with the z80pack emulation suite

I was toying around with Udo Munk’s z80pack emulator suite recently. It not only brings a ready-to-run IMSAI and Altair emulation - including working frint panels in X11! - but alaso a really bare-bone z80 ismulator, starting up in a pretty simple Machine code Monitor.
