Comment on MartyPC is a cross-platform emulator of early PCs written in Rust

Comments

I assume it's called MartyPC because it Marty McFlies?

It is indeed a Marty McFly reference. The original demo I was trying to run was called 8088 MPH and is full of Back to the Future references.

I was trying to Run Back To The Future, so I figured I'd call my emulator either Marty or McFly.

Unfortunately I found out about the FM Towns later, so I renamed it from Marty to MartyPC so you could google "MartyPC Emulator" properly.

Well you can have the tagline for free.
