[Coco] vcc info

[James Ross]

The only one I have tried so far is VCC – I plan on trying MESS and others as I find time. I am running VCC 1.4.2 and in the install directory there is the “Welcome to Vcc.pdf” document.  Presumably that is the only official documentation.  

I spent some time trying to find information on VCC, but I have been unable to find much more information other than this page here:

http://www.cocopedia.com/wiki/index.php/VCC_1.4.3b_and_DW4_Installation_Guide

which is specific to this “new” updated version for use w/ DriverWire4.  (which I haven't tried yet, but plan too)

The introduction section, touches on the history of VCC and talks about the current state of the source code.  It’s like a mystery as to what happened to the original author and who currently has the source code. Since there is no one supporting it “officially”, and apparently whoever has the source is not going to open source it, unless the original author can be contacted, even though according to the article that is/was the wishes of the original author... the outlook looks bleak for much community support for it.

Which probably explains why there is NOT much information on this emulator – which by the way is a really nice one. The original author did a great job on it. Out of curiosity, does anyone on this list know the official “status” or fate of VCC? Will there be any more improvements? Will it ever get opened sourced?
