Howdy all,
Way back at the beginning of February I wrote a 65816 emulator in perl
that could run Slang. The problem is that it runs Slang really, really,
really slowly. Well, this weekend I had some time and inspiration, and
converted it to C. So there is now a cross-platform version of Slang
available at
http://www.ffd2.com/fridge/slang/
The idea of the program is to emulate a 65816 and enough of a C64 to run
the native code. It's a little shell that wraps around the binary,
understands RAM/ROM management using $01, intercepts certain kernal
calls (like $FFD2), and performs simple ascii/petscii translation, with
the net effect of being a cross-platform version of Slang.
Note also that since Slang includes an assembler, this is also a
cross-assembler (Sirius).
I've also included the original perl code; maybe someone can make use of
it.
Thanks all,
-Steve
