Version 1.0 released with support for tape fast loading and key mapping - use that right shift key in Pinball Dreams. Next on the list is RTG support and more speed optimizations as Sonic GX currently needs a PiStorm / Vampire level of power to run full speed. This emulator is being generated with Claude Code but with extensive regression testing and full documentation of the development process.

I’m following your emulator and I think it’s very cool.

I’m playing with on my Apollo V4 fpga system.

New release. Lots of new feature. I’m taking a break to work on a few other projects. Thanks again to Kevin for allowing me to use his Arnold source code.
