Proposal for a 'Emulators & Cross-Developing' section

Hi, all,

this is a section which is missing IMO.

The Programming, and Games section should focus on the development, and discussion of programs, and games that actually run on the VIC-20 (whether real, or emulated).

While the topics of the proposed section could be handled well under the General topics section, I see that's not often the case. Currently postings regarding the usage of VICE, cc65, transfer of data etc. are strewn across the General topics, Programming, and Games section. This new section could alleviate this problem, and give a good starting point for newcomers.

Greetings,

Michael

I concur. Having an Emulation etc section may even stimulate development and/or interest...

This makes sense. Most other forums have a special section for emulator-related issues. VICE can be quite complicated for newcomers -- see www.worldofspectrum.org for a perfect example of user-friendliness.

Yes I Agree,

Btw I think is better just an Emulator section while for cc65, DASM and other similar tools, they may remain in the programming section or a relative subsection.

I had set the poll to run for 30 days - in the meantime it went to the second page of the General section.

Anyhow, 10:0 votes should speak for itself.

And this post is just another perfect example for the necessity of the section.

So, Jeff, please ...

Ok ok. I'll have it up today if
possible.

Thanks for the new section. I just wonder if it should be reordered above "Other systems". While emulation is not the same thing as using a VIC-20, one could argue emulating a VIC-20 is better than give up and use a Nintendo or whatever.

wow, it's incredible how many related posts were around various sections before.

I'm impressed at how rapidly Mike moved those threads into the new section. (I was browsing the forum at the time.)
