What is this ?

GalEMU is a Galaxian hardware emulator. It's only goal is to adequately and accurately "emulate" the original Galaxian arcade board so that users can get the ROMs from their boards and play any game that uses Galaxian hardware on their DOS/Win95/Linux-based home PC.


How does it work ?

The Galaxian emulator is what we call a interpreting emulator. It works a little like the Java virtual machine of your browser, which interprets Java bytecode but instead it runs the CPU operands of the Z80 CPU which was the heart of Galaxian and several other arcade/computers of the time. It gets all the code and graphics from ROM dumps (Copies of the information contained in the original Read-Only Memory of the Galaxian arcade board).
 

What do I need to run this emulator ?

You have to meet the following requirements to be able to use GalEMU at full speed:
