Uxn32

Uxn32 is a tiny, portable emulator for the Uxn, an 8-bit virtual computer that can run various simplistic applications and games.

The application does not require installation or configuration, so simply decompress the archive and it is ready to use. The start page includes a list of the tools embedded along with their commands, so it would be easier for you to launch the desired one via  a console, if you prefer.

It is worth mentioning that the utility comes with several utilities and tools, including, but not limited to calculator, clock, writing tool, sprite editor, hex editor and even a tiny Piano toy, just to name a few. In addition to the sample ROMs, you can try out any other tool or game you already have stored. Launching a ROM can be done in three ways, namely the terminal, via the file menu or by dragging and dropping it over the interface.

It is worth mentioning that the app is secure, meaning that it is designed with a sandboxed file system access for Uxn program ROMs. This does not affect the overall functionality and Uxn programs should receive events at full speed and repaint immediately.

According to the developer, the program works with all Windows versions, including the very old ones, and comes with pre-emptive execution to prevent the unwanted situation when the Uxn programs freezes in an infinite loop.

The Uxn environment was designed as a personal computer playground with a focus on creating portable apps, so it may be a good choice for anyone who enjoys experimenting. Considering that it does not work on Windows computers without an emulator and you may want to test out your various projects or ROMs, then perhaps you can consider giving Uxn32 a try.
