Show HN: A Golang CP/M emulator


Golang CP/M emulator for playing zork, lighthouse-of-doom, etc - skx/cpmulator

The project was initially created to run my text-based adventure game, which I wrote a few years ago, to amuse my child. This means that, for example, opening, reading/writing, and closing files is absolutely fine, but any API call that refers to tracks, sectors, or disks will fail. Unfortunately the facilities there are only sufficient for reading a line, not a character which means we'll need to essentially copy and paste their implementations inline to take advantage of this, and restore portability.
