Pic Emulator as an Applet

The Emulator can run either as an applet or standalone as an application.

No Java?

Your browser does not support Java, or has Java disabled.

This means you're missing out on a premium (no, really) applet.

Sorry..

Quick Start Instructions

  1. Load a HEX file - Click on the 'File' button, then 'Load Binary..' and type in the name of the file to load. When running over the internet, the applet will only load PIC software from the same web site that it is hosted on. This demonstration comes with two programs, pong.hex and tetris.hex which you can try. Note that some web servers are case sensitive, so the file names must be typed exactly as shown.
  2. Start any Plugins you need - Click on the 'Plugins' tab in the main window. The panel will display a list of available plugins. Click on the required plugin to display information about it, then 'Show' to display it. Note that while a plugin is activated, it will slow down the top speed that the emulator can run at, so only activate the ones you really need. If you are trying out the Pong or Tetris demos, you will want to activate the 'TV' plugin.
  3. Click on the 'View' tab to see the program. You can single step the program by clicking 'Step' or 'Over'. To run the program, click run.
  4. In the case of the Pong and Tetris demos, you can now play the games. Player 1's keys are Q,A,E,R,X (up, down, left, right fire) and Player 2's keys are U,J,O,P,M. Click on the black TV screen if keys don't seem to be responding.
