Puppy Arcade 5 & Q&A with Scott Jarvis
What was your first computer? For me I started my computing life with a ZX Spectrum. A rubber keyed marvel with a massive 48k memory. It makes me feel rather old to think that there are a generation of computer users who have never experienced loading software from tape.
It was only fitting then that my first experience of emulation came some years later when I owned an Amiga 500 and a Spectrum emulator. Moving on some years, my first emulator on the PC was the Windows binary Genem which only reached v0.19 and has been discontinued since 1997.
How things have changed today and the demand for retro gaming is reflected in the amount of emulation projects there are in progress. Puppy Arcade aims to provide all your retro computing desires. It’s based on tiny TurboPup Xtreme, which itself it a highly optimized version of Puppy Linux.
Puppy Arcade 5 offers emulation for the following systems:
Amiga, Atari, Amstrad, Arcade Machines, Colecovision, Commodore 64, GameBoys (GB, GBC, GBA), GameGear, Genesis, MasterSystem, MS DOS, NeoGeo, NeoGeo CD, NES/Famicom, PC Engine/TurboGrafix 16, PSX, Scumm, SNES and ZX Spectrum.
