Hi! I'm just wondering: is there a market in the CBM emulation community for a new Vic-20 emulator for DOS? If so, what features would you like included?

Of course the current version would serve as a baseline. I can think of the following features I would need:

- Full screen support
- Improved sound support
- Access to local and (maybe) remote and/or removable media storage
- Support for printers
- Joystick support

And last but not least: support for the Rockwell 65C02 CPU !

What we do need is a DOS emulator for Vic-20.

You could replace the word "DOS" with the name of any other boot loader out there. If you want a market, it's probably a more rewarding plan to target platforms that basically don't have the power to run VICE, which is excellent. And in that niche you're about to get competition with something already running.

EDIT: Oh, and boray is absolutely right. :mrgreen:
