Emulators

  • WinEMU The C16/Plus4 emulator by Zsolt Prievara. MS-DOS and Win32 versions with PC based development tools are available.
  • Minus/4 The pioneering emulator still in development by Mike Dailly. MS-DOS and Win9x. Since 1996!
  • M.E.S.S. In case you like to mess further with around 30 other microcomputers. MESS supports the C16 and plus/4 since the 3rd of December, 1999. WARNING: no ROMS included! 
  • CP4 - Emulation on the Amiga The best emulation by far as it supports even D64 formats extensively. Written by Gergő Gáti.
  • The first Plus/4 emulator ever by Vladimir Lidovski. It was written in 100% assembly but the development is on hold since a long ago. Still, it has basic D64 and TAP-like support.
  • Linux C16 emulator This emulator is distributed in source format, using an older version of the Qt programming library. I could easily compile it under Mandrake Linux 7.0. It is lacking the ROMs, joy and sound support, you can't use D64 images and development seems to have stopped a long time ago.
  • The Flamingo Another emulation of the Plus/4 on the Amiga. Written by Almos Rajnai.
  • The A4 homepage First emulation of the Plus/4 on the Amiga. Development ceased years ago.
