Stupid question, probably, but I'm the author of CLK and thereby noticed your addition to Sinclair ZX81 emulators, for which I am very grateful — especially as I was unaware of this resource. I was curious though as to why it isn't recommended. Is it just through obscurity, or is there a known issue with it? As may be implied, I'm interested in harvesting bug reports if any are known. — Tommy (talk) 15:02, 5 March 2018 (EST)
- Hi,
- I add emulators, but don't fully test all. When I don't fully test an emulator, I can't recommend it. To be not recommended is neuter and others can change that evaluation. Francis (talk) 03:11, 6 March 2018 (EST)
- I could give some advice if you would like CLK to be recommended for the consoles that it emulates very well that shouldn't be too difficult to implement.
