[GreenKeys] 33 Emulator

[Rob Jarratt]

Thanks. Might be worth putting some basic installation instructions for the major platforms. I happen to have Visual Studio on my machine and so I needed to do the following from the developer command prompt:

 

py -m pip install --upgrade pip (requires admin permissions)

py -m pip install -U pygame –user

 

SIMH has a telnet server for communicating with emulators, it would be nice to support that option too.

 

Regards

 

Rob

Hi Rob -

Yes, it runs on Windows.  The main prerequisite is "pygame", which has some install instructions here:

https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted 

 

Also right now you'll need to edit the "ttyemu.py" file to have it connect to something.  At the end of that file are various configurations, in the video I'm using the Paramiko backend to connect to a Linux server over SSH.   (Hopefully that config will be simpler in the future).

Does this run on Windows by any chance?

Almost better than the real thing:  a Model 33 terminal emulator.  This is not my project, originally; but this week I've added sound effects, and I think the result is quite nicely realistic.  You can even open and close the lid.

There's not much documentation in the project yet, so you'll need to be quite familiar with Python to get it running.  Happy to help if anyone gets stuck trying.
