So, this will probably be one of the last versions of the emulator, as I want to play with other things.  I may however still mess around with it.

Links

This will only work on RC0, not Beta 2, and it should work on the release version when it comes out.

You can use the emulator from here

You can download the source from my skydrive:

Thanks

I give everyone permission to do what they like with the source, big thanks to Joe Stegman for his PNG Encoder, and the biggest thanks to Jan Jones who create the XNA version, which is what I used as my base code.

There is loads that can still be done (Sound Support, Isolated Storage etc, may'be I'll have time, may'be somebody else will, either is cool).

I have created a project on CodePlex, I just haven't uploaded the source, feel free to do it for me, and I'll give you permission on the project.

Instructions

Click your mouse within the emulator to begin

Symbol Shift is the Home Key, Remember Shift 0 is backspace, and Symbol Shift (home) P is a quote mark.

The emulator works with .SNA files, which you should be able to download from various sites and run via the Open File option, just search for .sna and whatever game. This link has JetPac, Atic Atac, SabreWulf
