Your virtual C64 is now humming along at breathtaking one thousand cycles per second (1MHz)

ACTUALLY that's one million cycles per second. 🤓

good catch! I just fixed it now.

I love how needlessly complicated this is.

True! This needs to be all running on a Sparc box

They say for every minute that passes in C64, 4 hours passes in Linux.

Shows how well the emulators run tho

Yo dawg, I heard you like emulating, so I put an emulator in your emulator so you can emulate while you emulate.

Maybe sprinkle a few layers of qemu VMs on top?

Now run Linux on FreeBSD via linuxulator

FYI: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/9785

So consider using the official website, which is currently: https://lubuntu.me

fixed! thanks for letting me know

This would only make sense to me if the Linux machine was emulated on an 8 Bit micro controller.

I assume that Windows isn't being emulated but virtualized...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not even that, the author just uses WINE.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

So not emulared or virtualized

The matrix is real!
