A Personal Perspective on Vintage Machine Emulation

We offer a variety of events for All, free family stem events and talks and lectures delivered by our experts in our world class Nationally Styled  Accredited working Musuem.

The National Museum of Computing

A Virtual Talk by Peter OnionEmulators provide us with a way to run software that originally ran on machines that we no longer own or maybe which even no longer exist. This may be to play the computer games we enjoyed when we were younger, or it might be to investigate the development of programming techniques in use 60 years ago.The experience of using vintage machines was very different to using a modern PC and by using a carefully constructed emulator we may gain an insight into that experience. After considering the reasons behind the development of emulators, Peter Onion will describe the factors he considers to be important when developing an emulator for a vintage computer so that it provides the user with a feel for just how laborious it was to use the original machine.The talk will finish with a demonstration of the presenter’s emulation of an Elliott 803 in the last 30 mins.PLEASE NOTE: Participants will be sent the link to the virtual talk no later than two days before the event.
