Autism Simulator 2070 on Nostr: The main issue is that virtually all of what this does can be emulated with dosbox ...
The main issue is that virtually all of what this does can be emulated with dosbox and that which can't be emulated easily like specific hardware--mostly sound hardware, things like Roland MT32 that produced the intended sound for music and sound effects for a lot of those old games, are not in this.
Using Dosbox to play those old games also has the advantage of setting cycle numbers to get these games running at a perfect speed since most of them were not speed capped and could run too slow/too fast, and not having to fuck around with memory managers, weird custom autoexecs, etc. just to be able to boot the games up.
