The Thomson MO5 Emulator, PSPMO5 v1.2.0, Arrives

The competent underground brew technician, zx-81, has released a new version of his popular Thomson MO5 emulator for the PlayStation Portable. The Thomson MO5 was a 6809-based computer, first introduced in France in 1984. The original had 32K of RAM, a 40 x 25 text display, and included a built-in Microsoft BASIC.

PSPMO5 v1.2.0 is a port of DCMO5, specifically version 11 of the original. DCMO5 is probably the best Thomson emulator available for MacOS, Windows and Unix. Daniel Coulom was the author of the original program, which is available at http://dcmo5.free.fr/. Check out the changelog for v1.2.0 of PSPMO5:

• Cheat support !
• Finally fix issue with “Home -> Exit” !
• Add documentation for settings in help menu
• The virtual keyboard is now usable in the file requester menu to choose the first letter of the game you search !
• Improve file requester with virtual keyboard to choose sequentially rom files beginning with a given letter
• Text editor to write your own comments on games
• Display first comment line while browsing game files
• Memory monitoring engine to find your own cheat code !
• Text editor to modify the global cheat.txt file
• Zip rom files are now decompressed in memory (much faster !)
• Add eboot music (see http://www.jamendo.com)

Of course, if you need additional help, you’d be well advised to check out the included readme file. Thanks to zx-81 for his hard work in making this nifty port.
