Did you pick some other video card besides CGA?

Yes, I chose EGA. My bad. That demo must be run with CGA.

feel free to fork MartyPC to build it for your Amiga

yes, swipe up to show a keyboard. this currently only supports the 5150/5160 completely as it is a Model F keyboard and the Tandy/Jr have some differences.

DOS has the 'keyb' utility and 'keyboard.sys' to support different layouts, using various code pages.

If you have a CGA card, you're stuck with the code page of the ROM your card came with, which in most cases was code page 437, although a few variants were made.

EGA/VGA had software fonts so other code pages could be loaded.

great emulator and nice guy too. maybe i should ask him if i can use his HDD sounds

they're planned at some point. I need to write a utility or custom controller rig with a pico that can step the head on an MFM drive in patterns i can record, then model stepping to cylinder in the hard disk controller.

Now that’s attention to detail!

truly glorious

I am not the OP of this post, but they're just using my github description. when I first wrote it, Rust was a novel choice for an emulator, and it helped people find examples of emulators written in Rust.

believe it or not I didn't tailor it for the HN meta

It is indeed a Marty McFly reference. The original demo I was trying to run was called 8088 MPH and is full of Back to the Future references.

I was trying to Run Back To The Future, so I figured I'd call my emulator either Marty or McFly.

Unfortunately I found out about the FM Towns later, so I renamed it from Marty to MartyPC so you could google "MartyPC Emulator" properly.

Well you can have the tagline for free.

I am very close to emulating the Covox - I emulate the Disney Sound Source, which is just a Covox with a FIFO

What would you say is missing or not working well?
