#define (from C) in Python

 Yes, in ASM a simple 25 or 33Mhz 386 computer was able to emulate
the
Spectrum. At least, under MSDOS, like did Warajevo, Z80, x128 and
"Spectrum"
from Pedro Gimeno.

 x128 was not pure C. The first emulator written in pure C was
Aspectrum,
although Philip Kendall "finished" FUSE (Free UNIX Spectrum Emulator)
before my emulator was able to emulate 128K models.

 But currently only FUSE and ASpectrum can be compiled in lost of
platforms
(Wii, Dreamcast, PocketPC, NDS...) just by translating the O.S.
dependent
functions or if the destination platform supports the Allegro
library...

 And at least a P1-P2 is needed for that :-)

 It does not run 100% in my 1.8Ghz centrino computer :-(, but almost.
At least, is a good start to see that is possible, at least no current
DualCore computers :-)

 Thanks!
