How can I use an emulator on my PC?

[krambigmac]

My old P1 75mhz played PCAE perfectly but this comp is a P3 933mhz and it runs everythnig too fast. Other than MoSlow which slows the whole machine down, is there an alternative? I'll still buy the carts of course but until they get shipped or until I find them, I want to play them if I can. I've also heard of the emulator Stella. Would that run correct speed on my PC?

I have a AMD 650 Mhz machine and I run StellaX. I do not need to have any sort of slow down program in order to use it.

 

You can obtain it at:

Good luck.

Between z26, Stella, and PCAE, you really can't go wrong. No Moslo needed.

 

However if you can run DOS apps, my vote goes to Z26. I used to use PCAE almost exclusively but z26 came out of left field with that right combination of simplicity and accurate emulation. Just click and play.

 

By the way, I can't figure out why everyone likes Stella, because is it just me or is the sound in Stella totally off?

I was using Stella to test beats, and it sounded like the timing was off, like the notes varied slightly in duration. And when I would use the engine noise and vary its pitch, it sounded like the polynomial counter was being reset with each change in frequency or volume. Does that happen on the actual VCS?

I got Stella and it worked great. I don't know how off the sounds are but they aren't bad at all to me.
