Excerpt: The IBM System/360 (S/360) was a mainframe computer system family first announced by IBM on April 7, 1964, and sold between 1964 and 1978. It was the first family of computers designed to cover the complete range of applications, from small to large, both commercial and scientific. The design made a clear distinction between architecture and implementation, allowing IBM to release a suite of compatible designs at different prices. All but the most expensive systems used microcode to implement the instruction set, which featured 8-bit byte addressing and binary, decimal and fl...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=29294 ...

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: UAE is a computer emulator which emulates the hardware of the Commodore Amiga range of computers. Released under the GNU General Public License, UAE is free software. UAE was released in 1996 and was originally called the Unusable Amiga Emulator, due to its inability to boot. In its early stages, it was known as Unix Amiga Emulator and later with other names as well. Since none of the popular expansions fit any more, the abbreviation no longer stands for anything, and the software is simply known as UAE this occasionally gets backronymed as Universal Amiga Emulator or Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator. UAE is almost a full featured Amiga emulator. It emulates most of its functions: For software, UAE may use disk images made from original Amiga floppy disks. These images have the file extension of "ADF" (Amiga Disk File). Actual Amiga disks cannot be used, because of limitations in the floppy controllers used in other computers Images of Amiga formatted hard drives can also be made. UAE also supports mapping host operating system's directories to Amiga hard drives. UAE has been ported to many host operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS, FreeBSD, DOS, Microsoft Windows, RISC OS, BeOS, Palm OS, the Xbox console, the PSP and GP2X handhelds, the Wii console, and even AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS, where it allows software that requires the Amiga chipset to be run on PPC-based AmigaOS machines. There have been many threads in the past on Usenet and other public forums where people argued about the possibility of writing an Amiga emulator. Some considered UAE to be attempting the impossible; to be demanding that a system read, process and output 100 MB/s of data when the fastest PC was a 66 MHz 486, while keeping ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=80312 ...

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: A ROM image, or simply ROM, is a computer file which contains a copy of the data from a read-only memory chip, often from a video game cartridge, a computer's firmware, or from an arcade game's main board. The term is frequently used in the context of emulation, whereby older games or computer firmware are copied to ROM files on modern computers and can, using a piece of software known as an emulator, be run on the newer computer. ROM images are also used when developing for embedded computers. Software which is being developed for embedded computers is often written to ROM files for testing on a standard computer before it is written to a ROM chip for use in the embedded system. At present, this article deals mainly with the use of ROM in relation to emulation. ROM chips, while still in use, have been replaced in many instances by optical media such as CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs, magnetic media such as hard disks and magnetic tapes and, more recently, Flash Memory chips. However, the term ROM is commonly also used to cover many of these newer media so, for instance, a computer game copied from a magnetic tape may also be incorrectly referred to as a ROM. The correct names for tape and disk 'roms' are Tape image and Disk image respectively. Images copied from optical media are also called ISO images, after one of the standard file systems for optical media, ISO 9660. Many ROMs used by emulators, and particularly console emulators, are not true images of the ROM chips in the cartridge. They are often modified to allow easier functionality in emulators through methods such as combining the images from multiple ROM chips.

Excerpt: QEMU is a processor emulator that relies on dynamic binary translation to achieve a reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPU architectures. In conjunction with CPU emulation, it also provides a set of device models, allowing it to run a variety of unmodified guest operating systems; it can thus be viewed as a hosted virtual machine monitor. It also provides an accelerated mode for supporting a mixture of binary translation (for kernel code) and native execution (for user code), in the same fashion as VMware Workstation and Microsoft Virtual PC. QEMU can also be used purely for CPU emulation for user level processes; in this mode of operation it is most similar to Valgrind. One feature exclusive to QEMU is that of portability: the virtual machines can be run on any PC, even those where the user has only limited rights with no administrator access, making the 'PC-on-a-USB-stick' concept very real. Similar applications exist (such as MojoPac) but they currently require administrator rights to run, making them useless in areas such as public libraries, internet cafes, and so on. QEMU was written by Fabrice Bellard and is free software. Specifically, the QEMU virtual CPU core library is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL). Many hardware device emulation sources are released under the BSD license. When running on Windows, although by default it uses DirectSound, there is the option to use the proprietary FMOD library, which if used disqualifies it for a single, unified, Open Source software license. QEMU has two operating modes: User mode emulationQEMU can launch Linux or Darwin/Mac OS X processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU.

Chapters: Ssf, Yabause, Girigiri. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 18. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: SSF (emulator) -SSF does not come with a software installer, instead consisting of a single ZIP file that contains a folder with the emulator and all required files, along with folders for backups, screenshots and save states. The emulator can run in full screen, with or without scanlines. The display resolution, full screen or otherwise, is fixed at 640x480 (twice the Saturn's usual 320x240, although it is rendered with double-sized pixels so the resolution is technically the same). Games using 352x240 resolution are likewise enlarged to 704x480. In fullscreen mode, the emulator uses the available resolution mode closest to the emulated one; thus, widescreen games running in fullscreen may display improperly without the use of custom resolutions. Other than toggling Vsync on or off and an option to use DirectDraw, no video options exist, as SSF emulates games entirely through software rendering. A DirectX 9-compatible graphics card and a minimum of 256 MB of RAM are required for the emulator to run. A Pentium 4 at 3 GHz or higher, an AMD Athlon rated at 3000+ or higher, any Core2, or any AMD Phenom are required for games to run at proper speed. If the processor is not fast enough, the emulator will, depending on settings in the options, either do a frame skip for full speed (resulting in choppy animation), or will render all the frames (resulting in slow-motion gameplay). SSF can emulate the hardware parts of the Saturn using numerous threads, thus taking advantage of multi-core CPUs. ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3133433 ... Read more

Excerpt: Windows Virtual PC (formerly Microsoft Virtual PC and Connectix Virtual PC) is a virtualization program for Microsoft Windows operating systems. In July 2006 Microsoft released the Windows-hosted version as a free product. In August 2006 Microsoft announced the Macintosh-hosted version would not be ported to Intel-based Macintosh computers, effectively discontinuing the product as PowerPC-based Macintosh computers are no longer manufactured. The newest release, Windows Virtual PC, is available only for Windows 7 hosts. Virtual PC virtualizes a standard PC and its associated hardware. Supported Windows operating systems can run inside Virtual PC. Other operating systems like Linux may run, but are not officially supported. The successor to Virtual PC 2007, Windows Virtual PC, entered public beta testing on April 30, 2009, and was released alongside Windows 7. Unlike its predecessors, this version supports only Windows 7 host operating systems. It originally required hardware virtualization support but on March 19th 2010 Microsoft released an update to Microsoft Virtual PC which allows it to run on PCs without Hardware Virtualisation Technology (VT). (see Requirements). Windows Virtual PC includes the following new features: It removes the following features: System requirements for Windows Virtual PC: Originally (Before March 19th 2010) Hardware Virtualization was a mandatory requirement and therefore a tool for checking whether a PC supported Windows Virtual PC could be downloaded here. This is no longer required. Internet Explorer versions 6, 7, and 8 run concurrently on a Windows 7 de...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=312015 ... Read more

Excerpt: Virtual Console ), sometimes abbreviated as VC, is a specialized section of the Nintendo Wii Shop Channel, an online service that allows players to purchase and download games and other software for Nintendo's Wii gaming console. The Virtual Console lineup consists of titles originally released on past consoles. These titles are run in their original forms through software emulation, and can be purchased for between 500 and 1200 Wii Points depending on system, rarity, and/or demand. The library of past games currently consists of titles originating from the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and Nintendo 64, as well as Sega's Master System and Mega Drive/Genesis, NEC's TurboGrafx-16 and TurboGrafx-CD, SNK's Neo Geo AES, Commodore 64 (Europe and North America only) and MSX (Japan only). Virtual Console Arcade allows players to download video arcade games. Nintendo has no plans to add Nintendo GameCube games to Virtual Console due to their 1.4 GB capacity (and even higher for certain games), and because the Wii is already backward compatible with the GameCube's original Game Discs. Virtual Console titles have been downloaded over ten million times as of December 2007. While the gameplay remains unchanged for all of the classic titles offered for the Virtual Console, Nintendo has stated that some games may be improved with sharper graphics or better frame rates. Certainly, many PAL SNES games run with significantly reduced borders compared to the original cartridge releases. As with disc-based games, the Virtual Console service is region-locked that is, different versions of games are provided to different regions, and game availability may vary from region to region.

Excerpt: Game mechanics are a construct of rules intended to produce an enjoyable game or gameplay. All games use mechanics; however, theories and styles differ as to their ultimate importance to the game. In general, the process and study of game design is the effort to come up with game mechanics that allow for people playing a game to have a fun and engaging experience. The interaction of various game mechanics in a game determines the complexity and level of player interaction in the game, and in conjunction with the game's environment and resources determines game balance. Some forms of game mechanics have been used in games for centuries, while others are relatively new, having been invented within the past decade. The creation of new game mechanics, and ways in which existing ones can interact, is an ongoing goal of game designers. Complexity in game mechanics should not be confused for depth or even realism. Go is perhaps one of the simplest of all games, yet exhibits extraordinary depth of play. Most computer or video games feature mechanics that are technically complex (when expressed in terms of making a human do all the calculations involved) even in relatively simple designs. In general, commercial video games have gone from simple designs (such as Asteroids) to extremely complex ones (such as Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell) as processing power has increased. In contrast, casual games have...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1012146 ... Read more

Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Amiga computer can be used to emulate several other computer platforms, including legacy platforms such as the Commodore 64, and its contemporary rivals such as the IBM PC and the Apple Macintosh. MS-DOS compatibility was a major issue during the early years of the Amiga's lifespan in order to promote the machine as a serious business machine. In order to run the MS-DOS operating system, Commodore released the Sidecar for the Amiga 1000, basically a 8088 board in a closed case that connected to the side of the Amiga. Clever programming (a library named Janus, after the two-faced Roman god of doorways) made it possible to run PC software in an Amiga window without use of emulation. At the introduction of the Sidecar the crowd was stunned to see the MS-DOS version of Microsoft Flight Simulator running at full speed in an Amiga window on the Workbench. Later the Sidecar was implemented on an expansion card named "Bridgeboard" for Amiga 2000+ models. Bridgeboard cards appeared up to 486 processor variants. The Bridgeboard card and the Janus library made the use of PC expansion cards and harddisk/floppydisk drives possible. The bridgeboard card was manufactured by Commodore, later third party cards also appeared for the A500/1200 expansion slot such as the KCS Powerboard. Eventually, full-software emulators, such as PC-Task and PCx allowed Amigas to run MS-DOS programs, including Microsoft Windows, without additional hardware, at the costs of speed and compatibility. Early Amigas could use a program called Transformer to emulate a PC via software, ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4330717 ... Read more

Chapters: Mame, Virtual Console, Gametap, Kega Fusion, Visualboyadvance, Multi Emulator Super System, Gxemul, Mednafen. Excerpt:Developer(s) : Anders Gavare GXemul (formerly known as mips64emul ) is a computer architecture emulator being developed by Anders Gavare. It is available as free software under a revised BSD-style license . In 2005, Gavare changed the name of the software project from mips64emul to GXemul. This was to avoid giving the impression that the emulator was confined to the MIPS instruction set, which was the only architecture being emulated initially. Although development of the emulator is still a work-in-progress, since 2004 it has been stable enough to let various unmodified guest operating systems run as if they were running on real hardware. Currently emulated processor architectures include ARM , MIPS , M88K , PowerPC , and SuperH . Guest operating systems that have been verified to work inside the emulator are NetBSD , OpenBSD , Linux , HelenOS , Ultrix , and Sprite . Apart from running entire guest operating systems, the emulator can also be used for experiments on a smaller scale, such as hobby operating system development, or it can be used as a general debugger . Dynamic Translation GXemul's processor emulation uses dynamic translation , to convert the emulated processor's instructions into an intermediate representation (IR). The IR is in a format which can be executed by the host. In other words, it should be possible to port the emulator to new host architectures with just a recompilation; there is no need to implement a native code generation backend for each host architecture to get it running. Usage Example Assuming you have downloaded a NetBSD /pmax 5.0 CD-ROM ISO image (pmaxcd-5.0.iso), the following commands will let you install NetBSD onto an emul... ... Read more
