MartyPC
A cross-platform, cycle-accurate IBM PC/XT emulator written in Rust, designed for retro PC development and debugging.
What is MartyPC?
MartyPC is a cross-platform emulator written in Rust that accurately emulates early 8088-based PCs like the IBM PC, XT, PCJr, and Tandy 1000. It provides a highly accurate, cycle-by-cycle emulation environment specifically designed to aid in retro PC software development and to run demanding demos. The project prioritizes accuracy and developer tooling, offering extensive debugging features over user-friendliness.
Retro PC developers and enthusiasts who need a cycle-accurate emulation environment for writing, testing, and debugging software for early IBM-compatible systems. It is also valuable for demo scene creators pushing the limits of these old systems.
Developers choose MartyPC for its hardware-validated, cycle-accurate 8088 CPU emulation and comprehensive debugging tools, which are essential for precise retro development. Its unique selling point is the ability to run notoriously demanding demos like 8088 MPH and Area 5150 with high accuracy, supported by a WebAssembly build for browser-based execution.
