|  Re: New emulator with Plus/4 support is developed
I am aware of VICE, and it is a fairly good emulator in general, although the TED emulation in it does not seem to be as complete and accurate as in Yape, which, however, only runs on Windows, and as far as I know is not free software either as of the current version. I did intend to contribute to VICE a few years ago, but the VICE developers did not seem to be interested in the idea, and appeared to prefer implementing Plus/4 emulation on their own. Also, I do not limit the scope of emulation to Commodore machines. While it may be difficult to create an emulator that is as feature-complete and efficient in general as VICE, my code seems to already reproduce the behavior of the TED chip better in some areas (I understand that VICE is originally and mainly a C64/128 emulator, though). So, I thought it may be worth mentioning, even if this early version is not yet ready for most users.
