by JPL ( James Purcell)
I know there are lots of emulators for the 64 but I wanted
to see if my knowledge of the 64 was enough for me write one.

so here it is.

everything has been written from scratch using just my own knowledge
I have not used any work from any other.

please feel free to try it and give me some feedback.

I welcome comments and improvement suggestions.

this is nowhere near as good as the mighty VICE or Hox64 (but its getting there)

Supported
---------

1531 Mouse
Most Cartridge formats (there are a few issues here)
D64 IEC disk support
TAP
REU 16mb
DigiMax

The Joysticks are mapped as follows

Numeric keypad

the debugger is WIP and severely lacking currently.

Die neueste Daily Build Version von ScummVM unterstützt nun auch das Spiel Out of this World / Another World. Interessierte sind aufgefordert die Spiele zu testen und eventuelle Fehler dem ScummVM Team zu melden.

A young physics professor named Lester conducts a particle experiment. Suddenly, something goes wrong, lightning strikes, and in a moment Lester finds himself in a strange alien world. Now he must fight for his life in this strange place. Luckily, he'll find help along the way..

The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce full support for Out of this World (aka Another World). This is particularly noteworthy, since the original version of this engine was briefly added to ScummVM over twenty years ago.

Help us test the game by grabbing a daily build. Read through our testing guidelines. Currently, only the original DOS and Windows 3.1 versions are supported, though with sounds effects only, and not the music. Also, unfortunately, the Anniversary Editions are not yet supported. Additionally, like the original, you can't save your game, but you can use the 'c' key to open an area select dialog to enter a code to resume where you left off. And please take some screenshots along the way.

Lester's fate is in your hands. You'll deal with dangerous fauna, bloodthirsty aliens, and fiendish puzzles as you flee for your life.
