[Simh] EXT : MAME and simh

[Dan Gahlinger]

Uh, Pat,

SecureCRT is available for Linux, natively!
I use it all the time.

And I use it for ALL my Linux systems, it's the best terminal software I've ever found,
And I've tried tons of them.

I'd never go with anything else.

Works beautifully on Linux, really powerful, and programmable,
built-in file transfer support, everything you could possibly want.

and with terminal emulation "themes" you can get a custom setup for your sessions, also customizable, create your own if you like.
but "Dark Pastel" for the win 😉

I know it seems "odd" to use software like this when Linux has a ton, but really, there's nothing better.

I could never go back.

Dan.

free for 30 days but definitely worth the price.

it's what I use for my vax emulation with simh

MAME is multi ARCADE machine emulator, and while it may support or use the roms for VT terminals, it's only meant for use with the game machines that need it.
don't ask me which ones, I have no idea.

MAME emulates a lot more than you think, including various workstations and terminals. Just like simh emulates more than just DEC hardware.

Also, Peter said he's using Linux. Idk why everyone is trying to suggest Windows terminal emulators to him. There's a lot better VT terminal emulators than Putty and SecureCRT on Linux.
