This is interesting and reading more about it led me to discover Mu, which I didn’t know about.
A few years ago I had gotten the idea to Let’s Play Kyle’s Quest — I thought it would be interesting as a mostly-forgotten game that nobody has really covered before. I quickly ran into a problem, though. None of the Palm emulators I could find for either modern PC or Android (platforms where I can capture video) emulated CPU speed accurately; they just ran as fast as possible. Fine for productivity apps, not so great for games. I even thought about modding real hardware so I could capture raw data from the LCD and post-process it into video, but my hardware skills are nowhere near good enough to make it actually work. Anyway, Mu gets the timing right, and KQ is entirely playable!
wow, this is very neat! I’m quite impressed by the progress the author made. Look at a recent post of it running on a Pi.
This is incredible. Well done!
