EP32

EP32 is a free, open source, portable emulator of the Enterprise 64/128 computer for PC, written by Béla György Vincze (a Hungarian developer). EP32 is the first Enterprise emulator, thoroughly improved version of Kevin Thacker's ENTER emulator. It supports Windows operating systems. EP32 was the only PC emulator for the Enterprise computer until EP128Emu released.

EP32 is easy to configure so beginners are recommended to use it instead of EP128Emu.

The first, 1.0alpha version released in 26 august, 2001, which contained major modifications to Kevin Thacker's emulator. Latest version of EP32 is 1.20, released in 2006.

=Features=EP32 is a simple, easy to use emulator. It works with floppy-drive, handles floppy-images and can also read files from the hard disk as tape emulation. Saving files from the emulator is not possible to floppy images and to hard drive, only to real floppy disks. Saving snapshots is possible but recording demo isn't.

EP32 emulates most capabilities of the Enterprise computer, those of the Nick (graphic) chip and those of the Dave (sound) chip. Emulation of the ring modulation between the sound channels is not solved.

Enterprise has 4 Mhz CPU clock as default. EP32 enables to change it to any value (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Mhz to 99 Mhz and also further).

Lots of ROM files are available for Enterprise, EP32 can utilize them. Emulation of Enterprise with both basic configuration and different extensions (different versions of Enterprise eXpandable Disk Operating Systems - EXDOS, clock card and so on) is accessible.

On the whole, EP32 doesn't have many features but it's easy to use - the contrary of the EP128Emu.
