The Desktop CYBER Emulator is a project which successfully brought
back to life the revolutionary design of Control Data Corporation
CYBER mainframes. The software provides a reasonable emulation of
a "typical" CDC CYBER 6600, 7x, 17x based system including common
peripherals such as console, tape and disk drives, card reader,
printer and terminal multiplexer. The emulation runs the following
CDC operating systems: ChippewaOS, SMM, KRONOS 2.1, NOS 1.2, NOS
1.3, NOS 1.4, NOS 2.2 and NOS 2.8.2. It does not support NOS/VE
which requires virtual mode only available in CYBER 180s.
higan is a Nintendo multi-system emulator that began development
on 2004-10-14. The purpose of this emulator is a bit different from
others: it focuses on accuracy, debugging functionality, and clean code.
The emulator does not focus on things that would hinder accuracy.
This includes speed and game-specific hacks for compatibility.
As a result, the minimum system requirements for higan are very high.
The emulator itself was not derived from any existing emulator source code,
such as SNES9x. It was written from scratch.
Any similarities to other emulators are merely coincidental.
Virtual GameBoy Advance (VGBA) is an emulator of the GameBoy Advance
videogame console produced by Nintendo. It allows to run GameBoy
Advance games on PCs, Macs, or just about any other sufficiently
fast computers in existence. It can also help to debug GameBoy
Advance software without using a costly development system. VGBA
is not a real GameBoy Advance though. Get the real thing if you
want a real experience. Also, VGBA will not play older GameBoy and
GameBoy Color games. You will need VGB for that.
The Xen Project hypervisor is an open-source type-1 or baremetal hypervisor,
which makes it possible to run many instances of an operating system or indeed
different operating systems in parallel on a single machine (or host). The Xen
Project hypervisor is the only type-1 hypervisor that is available as open
source. It is used as the basis for a number of different commercial and open
source applications, such as: server virtualization, Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS), desktop virtualization, security applications, embedded and hardware
appliances
wmget is a dock app for the GNU Window Maker window manager which makes it more
convenient to perform long downloads in the background.
This is useful if you tend to have dozens of windows open at a time and tend to
do a lot of routine downloading. Just copy the link from your browser, middle-
click on the wmget dockapp, and the download will start. No download windows or
terminals required, and you can monitor the progress and stop the transfer if
desired without opening or raising any windows or even changing desktops.
Doom Legacy is a source port of Doom available for various operating systems
which was originally written as a fork of DOSDoom introducing lots of useful
improvements yet retaining original feel of the game. It currently features:
* TCP/IP multiplayer networking (including a master server for Internet
game searches)
* Nearly complete Boom and Heretic support
* OpenGL rendering
* Higher resolutions
* Console with support for key bindings (Quake-style)
* FraggleScript for scripting
* 3D floors, water, and coloured lighting
* Mouse aim and crosshairs
* Jumping
* 32 players (including support for custom skins)
FreeBSD graphics console (VGL) version of the famous Digger game.
HISTORY
-------
Digger was originally created by Windmill software in 1983 and released as
a copy-protected, bootable 5.25" floppy disk for the IBM PC/XT. As it
requires a genuine CGA card, it didn't work on modern PCs. In 1998 a new
version was created by Andrew Jenner which runs on all PCs with CGA or
better and, whilst retaining all the atmosphere and playability of the
original, has many new features.
In 2000 it was ported to several Unix-like architectures by Maxim Sobolev.
Currently it supports FreeBSD, using either VGL or SDL library, and Linux using
SDL library.
Warzone 2100 is a real-time strategy game, developed by Pumpkin Studios and
published by Eidos-Interactive. Although comparable to Earth2150 in many
significant respects, it does contain aspects that are unique. These include
various radar technologies, a greater focus on artillery and counter-battery
technologies, more frequent in-game cinematic updates as gameplay progress, as
well as a different vehicle design method. It was released in 1999 for both PC
and Playstation.
In late 2004 warzone was released by its copyright holders, Eidos-Interactive,
to the public under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and the Warzone 2100
Resurrection Project was born.
Killbots is a simple game of evading killer robots. Who created
the robots and why they have been programmed to destroy, no one
knows. All that is known is that the robots are numerous and their
sole objective is to destroy you. Fortunately for you, their creator
has focused on quantity rather than quality and as a result the
robots are severely lacking in intelligence. Your superior wit and
a fancy teleportation device are your only weapons against the
never- ending stream of mindless automatons.
Phalanx is a chess playing program. Phalanx is xboard compatible.
Running with xboard: 'xboard -fcp phalanx'. Note that permanent
brain (pondering) is off by default. Newer versions of xboard set
it on with the 'hard' command. If this does not work, try 'xboard
-fcp "phalanx -p+"' or (for <4.0.0 versions of xboard) change your
initString (see Xboard documentation for details). It's better to
stop permanent brain in both programs, when playing Phalanx against
another program on a machine with one CPU.
It's also possible to run phalanx without xboard. Do "phalanx -h"
to get a list of command line options. One important command of
phalanx's ASCII interface is "help".
