This girl is holding in her hands the same bag with potato, on which the same girl is also drawn, who also holds the same bag in his hands... well, ad infinitum. Personally I I remember this girl every time I have to deal with emulators. After all, one of the most remarkable properties of a computeris the possibility of software emulation of this or that equipment, as well as various software platforms. Today, for example, no one will surprise you with special virtual machines that allow you to create both would be “a computer within a computer.” Not only to create, but also install the operating system and applications on it. Of course at the same time, the performance of such a virtual computer as at least twice as low as the present one. However, the benefits of these applications are difficult to overestimate. After all, there is no longer any need to search rare hardware platform, just find a program for it emulation. So, who might need emulators? Firstly, to the developers, who write programs for various devices, often without owning them at hand. Secondly, some users who, for work or study requires one or another rare application, which, the trouble is, exists only for some long-out-of-use and forgotten system. Thirdly, simply curious people who It’s interesting to trace the development of computer technology, you can say, touch history. "http://pda.computerra.ru/upload/diskovedenie/emule.jpg" width=300 border=0> Legando, known for its collections of softwaresecurity, which we have already talked about more than once, released a disk specifically dedicated to emulators. A huge amount has been collected here number of emulators for a wide variety of platforms - from good well-known and popular, such as, for example, ZX-Spectrum, GameBoy, Palm, X-Box, Sega, Sony Playstation, to the little-known and exotic like Coco or PC "Lviv". The collection also includes DOS emulators (in in particular, the famous and popular Dos Box). Actually, the collection includes emulators that work not only under Windows, but also under MS-DOS, Linux, Mac OS, Windows Mobile, Palm OS, Symbian and in the Java environment. The user can select from the main menu operating system for which he would like to find this or that emulator, and then see what is available on disk in this case. For example, for PDAs based on Palm OS, the collection includes Apple emulators II, Atari ST, GameBoy, Commodore Amiga, etc. The vast majority of emulators included in the collection are equipped with screenshots or photographs of the devices whose operation they recreate. Ideally, I would like to receive some reference information about these devices, but the compilers, apparently, They didn’t set themselves any tasks. For each emulator a small description and, if required, brief notes on installation.The developer, year of creation and type of license under which the This or that emulator is distributed. Unfortunately, not all of them them are free. Of course, the compilers of the disc did a great job, finding in There is such an impressive collection of emulator utilities on the Internet. But even after successful installation, the user will most likely still have to turn to the inexhaustible riches of the Network, because an emulator is just environment for running programs and games, search for which on the Internet is also very exciting activity. _________________________________________________________________ "http://pda.computerra.ru/?action=section§ion_id=26304" <
