micahcowan Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Announcing Bobbin v0.4, an Apple Emulator. Why Yet Another Emulator? What does Bobbin do that Nintendon’t? Bobbin: Runs entirely in your terminal, using either standard input/output, or a curses screen display Can be used in shell scripts to accept typed text from standard input, and emit program output to standard output Can watch a program binary file for changes, and reload itself with the new program binary when it does, greatly accelerating development cycles for software on the 8-bit Apple Get it at https://github.com/micahcowan/bobbin/releases/tag/v0.4 Bobbin is distributed in source form only; you must be comfortable building software via ./configure && make && make install. I will not make myself available to help you build and install (unless it’s due to a bug). You also really want to have ncurses installed, unless you only want to use the standard input/output interface (no screen representation). Bobbin is written in C for modern, standards-conformant Unix OSes. It is tested on MacOS Ventura, and on Ubuntu Linux running under Windows WSL. Here are a couple of videos (of older versions) in action, demonstrating some key features: Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/354687-bobbin-an-apple-emulator-in-your-terminal-useful-for-accelerated-software-development/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
