If you use a vintage PC to run games, keep reading. A notorious game that has an impact over what vintage PC you pick since it wants a 386SX25-DX33. Or you use a CPU limiter or cache disabler. No longer! since a patch was released a few weeks ago. https://alltinker.itch.io/wcat

Just a heads up that Sean Lee Robinson aka "Geek with Social Skills" has been sniffing around again. Folks who may not know, this is the guy who scammed members of the vintage computer, telecom, arcade and console communities.

Made a video about this loser:

Don't get scammed!

hey, it's not every day that a new Mac 128/512/Plus/etc emulator is released! I tried it a bit and I'm impressed so far.

img, dsk, moof, hda support, very good sound, register + peripheral status, RAM map, boatload of stuff for programmers!

A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!

“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.

Redbook audio. Inside a pair of .bin/.cue files on a uSD card, plugged into a PicoGUS, installed on my 486 DX2/66.

Ok, Wipeout runs at like 7 fps but C'MON! redbook audio music virtually mounted and playing!

This firmware for PicoGUS is coming soon!
What other MSDOS games would run great here?
