A little 'time ago I reported a version of a Commodore 64 emulator written in Adobe ActionScript 3.0, now in a new version :

I have a tradition that I carry on for 25 years! What I celebrate gladly! Since that day, 1983, the year of its release, once a year I can not help from watching WarGames (War Games), the film has decided that, somehow, my destiny working.

WarGames , in its "current" simplicity, the time was a real success, especially among computer enthusiasts.

I "revived" this article of mine wrote a bit 'of years ago. I slightly revised, updating a little bit here and there, but I think it is still relevant and interesting.

INTRODUCTION

What is a development language? A computer, aka PC (Personal Computer), has a personal language. This language is called machine code, to mean that every machine, so any computer (PC compatible, Apple, Unix, etc ...), it has a unique and proprietary. The programs that we see "run" on our PCs are mainly carried out by the mysterious object called a microprocessor. This represents the heart, the intelligent unit, of each electronic processor. In reality, an application is not executed by the microprocessor, but relies only, so to speak, in what is called operating system: a layer software from the manufacturer of the machine (see, for example, the Apple Macintosh).

"Once there was" a time when the word had no meaning Personal Computer. It was the time of the console, small gadgets that are connected to the TV, the precursors of the Playstation today. And you could see in the magazines really all colors: Intellivision, Atari , Philips, big cars - for the time - that guaranteed fun coupled with astonishment. And here are the first journals, such as yearbook VideoGames (pictured) in 1984. The ads, appealing for the time, showed a technology never seen before. There was the Colecovision, with his video game system, "a home console for video games on cartridges standard Colecovision," the exceptional price of 485,000 lire.

While we're on the subject of nostalgia, here is a nice emulator of the historian of the 6502 microprocessor , mounted in the 80s in the console and computers such as Apple, Nintendo NS and the Commodore 64 (which she graduated in 6510, ...). This cute little gem is written entirely in JavaScript, running on virtually all browsers (Safari, Opera), with the only downside being a little slow. But worth it. On site ( http://www.6502asm.com/ ) found some nice examples, but curious lens.

I recovered my block of Commodore 64 to verify the port dell'emultatore FC64 proposed quache posts ago! Unfortunately, some features of the keyboard are not quite managed to make them work, so I could try and put some interesting listings (old nostalgic memories). If you remember the Commodore 64 had special combinations used when writing BASIC code, as the symbol of the negative R (reverse), or the little heart, always negative, to wipe the screen.

If you read the last two posts I wrote ( Net Software and Web Amiga Emulator ), this seems a direct result. Apropos, then, of emulators and Flash 9 with ActionScript 3.0, here is something really great, nostalgia aside. The project is called FC64 and wants to be low-level emulator of the glorious Commodore 64! It was written in ActionScript 3.0, so to see the movie (I feel weird to call it a movie of this kind ...), you should install version 9 of the Adobe plugin.

For all nostalgic like me a nice JavaScript engine for Amiga emulation , emulation extraordinary if you think that a script is created entirely through JavaScript.

Too bad only works with FireFox, but try to also use Internet Explorer 7 and see what happens ...

The emulation is substantially complete (magnified image right) and also includes a Shell.
