It's almost like they were lost in the mists of time. What happened to those ? And why does nobody remember them ? Questions after questions. Well, I've found evidences on some private homepages that there were indeed a few emulation projects written for 16-Bit Windows,īut most files are gone by now. " So wasn't Win3.1 suited well enough as a platform for emulators ?", I thought and continued my search across the old web.
And since, with WinG, there was already an early form of DirectDraw available. " So hey, where are they ?" I asked myself - Since some of todays popular emulation projects started out in the early to mid 90s,Īccording to archived web pages of that era. I've found prior versions of famous emulators, like Snes9x, ZSNES and Vice64.Īll available for major OSes of that time, like AmigaOS, DOS, Win95, Solaris and even OS/2, RISC OS and BeOS.Īll were there, except ports for good old (-well, old at least-) Win 3.x. On my journey trough Web 1.0 and archaic newsgroups
So I tracked down several old homepages and emulators. I've recently seen some videos about ancient emulators on YouTube and was wondering how the emulation scene was in the 90s.
