SIMH Simulator for Android

you need to buy their terminal and it it still not working

Having to pay for an app that requires you to pay for another app to use it is a SCAM. By the time you download/setup and configure anything, 15 minutes to try and test it has LONG passed. I've used SIMH before and thought it would be fun to try on android. This is just a plain ripoff and offensive to the SIMH community.

Needs revision as it won't work on Android 5.0 and higher. It seems the author has abandoned it.

PIE error on Lollipop - utterly useless on Android v5 or above :-(

To hell with this

No longer working, no support

needs to be updated to replace non-PIE executables, which are no longer supported on android 5.0. will update review when fixed.

I installed Simh in good faith. It requested funds to give full functionality. I paid these in good faith. But it will not work under android 5.x due to no support for PIE library. I contacted the author with zero response. Whilst the PC version of Simh works fine, this version doesn't run under android 5.x. No support or response from the author. BEWARE.

No vax780? 3 stars. Add it and I'll give 5 stars.

Thank you !!

Firstly to address the criticism of some of the other commentators regarding linked requirements that also need purchasing, such as the Better Terminal Emulator, yes, although this can be initially offputting the end result is definitely worth it. My principal interest was CP/M and I wasn't disappointed. I wanted to be able to do some minimal computing and this provided the idela platform. Some other emulators seem to be better geared to tablets as the font size on a phone makes them unworkable. Not so with this emulator, was able to get a good readable, workable screen format. I've got turbo pascal, mumath, dbase II and supercalc all working on my phone. I take note of one of the other reviewers complainign that BSD wouldn't load and I had the same problem but there are some unusual load steps for some of the images under SIMH so if relaly interested contacting the developer may yield a result,

I've used SIMH on other platforms and this is a good port to the android. The notes should mention that networking is not compiled in. I had trouble opening the developer's website to read the online help. A nice feature to add would be to allow the system disk files for simulated machines to reside on the external sd card. Some of the operating systems are quite large. Overall I am satisfied and enjoy using it.

BSD 4.3 download doesn't work.

Would like to see some updates however.

UNIXv1 now available in honor of DMR's passing. We all learned a lot from him.

This excellent app is fun and useful! Not just a nostalgic look at the past, but also an opportunity to interact with it and learn from it!

Add AIX and I can recommended this app to over a 100 of my friends at IBM

Website suspended? Cannot run after JB update

would be better if there were 4.3bsd, netbsd, and openvms packages to download.

V2.03 fixes issues with custom ROMs on Nexus One and other phones.

Pretty nifty! I can run ITS on my phone!!

Links to packages do not work useless app
