walter_J64bit Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 OK, I know this greatest APP for the STe but I'm missing the DOS for it. The only DOS I can find on the net is in German that doesn't work all great but it does boots pcDITTO. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delvis Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I found a English version a few months back. Just don't remember the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbking67 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You know pc ditto had me very excited back in the day, and I even had the opportunity to meet the developer. Thing is, it was somewhat disappointing compared to Magic Sac as performance never quite hit the usable stage for me. Playing with Mac software was fun, but for me not useful. I tried to use pc ditto with Turbo Pascal and Turbo C and I gave up, bought a boring PC to use at college. I also bought the Atari 8-bit emulator Atari legend Darek Mihocka developed (I still have the Xformer cable). It was an amazing programming feat.

Zogging Hell Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Think you need <=DOS 3.3 ish for the original PC ditto (software version). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 According to his website it was... in practice, not so much. I also bought the Atari 8-bit emulator Atari legend Darek Mihocka developed (I still have the Xformer cable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I used it with a Pascal editor, it was barely usable. But at the time when it ran at 40% or whatever it was the speed of an XT it was fairly impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Comparing PC Ditto (software) to Magic Sac (hardware) was not a fair comparison. The Magic Sac was emulating a Motorola 68000, the same CPU found in the Atari STs. The PC Ditto emulator was emulating an Intel X86 cpu. Not compating apples to apples.

+Gemintronic Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I guess to be clear the Magic Sac didn't have hardware to accelerate emulation of a Mac. Instead, it relied on the hardware of the ST to be close enough to run the Mac ROM. Kind of like the original XBOX emulators for the PC (the XBOX was a stripped down Celeron based PC).
