Heh, even putting the aditional comment in brackets didnt stop the almost inevitable responses like this :)


Well it is a pretty daft question to be honest, a blind man & his dog would know if it was an emulator being used... :)

Of course you could try plugging in an accelerator card in the expansion port... what's that, no expansion port to plug me Amiga accelerator card into... must be a machine running an emulator then... :D

I think you completely missed the point


Looks like it... it was early in the morning and I hadn't been to bed yet so the old brain cell was a wee bit addled at the time... :)

Still I'm curious to know why fishy_fiz needs to be able to know this, wonder what secret project he's working on... :)

:idea:Wow I've just had a brilliant idea...:idea:

You could simply have a requester at the start of you prog asking the user to input what kind of system or emulator they're using... :)

(PS:you don't have to thank me for that one, it's a freebie... ;))

What part of "in code I mean, obviously eyes would suffice otherwise " didn't you understood?


The part that I didn't bother to read... :)

Just to clarify, that was intended as tongue in cheek. Sometimes the lack of tone and/or infliction on forums can make things seem different than intended.

Really though it wouldnt work, the whole point to the excercise for me is to have the computer tell a person what system theyre running the software on. Time (and me releasing it) will make things a bit clearer.


I'd gathered that, as I've kinda got used to your sense of humour now... ;)

Still it's got me very curious as to what you're writing, guess I'll just have to wait and see... :)
