�MacTX ? an MTX Emulator for MacOS
MacTX is an MTX512 emulator for MacOS. Little is known of its hardware
demands except that it is PPC-only. Anything > a PPC601/75Mhz
(a.k.a PowerMac7200) should do...
MacTX is currently at version 0.91 which means that the basic
functionality
is present, but so are a few bugs too. The source code is available on
request
and any participation in developing, porting to MacOS X/UNIX/LINUX
etc. or
simply improving MacTX is welcomed.
MacTX relies heavily on
Z80 code by Marat Fayzullin and
Asgard code by Aaron Giles
Z80CTC code by Paul Daniels
