Atari PAC-MAN Fan Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Hey Guys! I'm trying to get working Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit and Apple ][ emulators on my Windows 98 PC. Why Windows 98? I like to be as authentic as possible. Of course, nothing beats real hardware, but until I get these, at least It will still be more "retro". In a different way, but still. Anyone know of any emulators that would work? Edited June 9, 2017 by Atari PAC-MAN Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Windows 98 isn't "authentic," it's just old. It has nothing to do with the architectures of those 3 computers you want to emulate. Try not to get hacked, keep that vulnerable old machine off the internet. This site lists most of the available emulators. You will probably encounter a lot of dead links if you really want to use a 20yo OS. https://www.zophar.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to use my new computer and burn the files onto a disc to transfer it. Also, your right. I should not have used the word "authentic". I think "Old School" is the term I am looking for.

Flojomojo Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I would say "musty and unreliable," but hey, I'm not an Atari PAC-MAN Fan, never was. Have fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not because I like the Atari VCS Pac-Man that much. It's actually because when I created my account, I asked myself: What do I love? I love Atari... and PacMan. Then I just said screw it. Atari + Pac-Man = "Atari Pac-Man Fan" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not be able to get modern emulators running on a Win98 machine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Yup. The higher fidelity contemporary emulators which get the old-school stuff right need new-school OSes and APIs, which in turn need new-school processors with new-school instruction sets. Heh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
