    And now - emulated!

    Lee has put in a heck of a lot of work to make this happen, the Bios from a later version of the prototype system was found and implemented (a challenge in it's self), the disk image was created from a low level (the lowest possible magnetic flux variations) using Kryo flux. The image was interpreted - again, not easy as it's a propriety format with some copy protection, and then all the additional work required to implement the differences between this slightly later version of the Devkit to the ones we've been exposed to already. Floppy handling routines, graphics handling, audio and controls all needed working out above and beyond what had already been done.

    So - not just a walk in the (central) park... (sorry, I never tire of trying to make that funny).

    Fantastic work. So looking forward to be able to play a Konix in the future. Well, visit emulation that is.

    It's great to see more stuff coming out of the woodwork for the Konix still. I remember reading about it as a kid and thinking it sounded awesome.

    Amazingly, the games still look pretty decent!
