Welcome to the Emulation Framework project
The Emulation Framework is software developed by the international KEEP project, co-funded by the European Union's 7th Framework Programme.
Version 1.1.0 out now!
21 Dec 2011 - A new version of the Emulation Framework (EF) has been released. A lot of work has been done to improve the first version released in May 2011. Especially, the software and emulator archives have received a major upgrade. Aside from that, we incorporated many smaller improvements based on the feedback we received from many enthousiastic users.
What is the Emulation Framework?
The Emulation Framework offers a convenient way to open old digital files and run programs in their native computer environment. This way you can experience the intended 'look and feel' independent from current state of the art computer systems. The spectrum of potential computer platforms and applications that can be supported is practically unlimited. The current release of the EF supports emulators for the x86 computer platform, Commodore 64, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro and Thomson. Emulation is done by using existing emulators which are carefully selected on their capability to mimic the functionality of these platforms.
The illustration below shows you how this works.
In this release (1.1.0)
- 5 platforms supported: x86, C64, Amiga, BBC Micro, Amstrad
