my ESP32 emulators collection and 'run to BASIC' PCs

This is a review of my ESP32 emulators and run to BASIC PCs. I have realized some of these boards, while others have been purchased (FabGL VGA32 by LILYGO and ESP32-SBC-FabGL by Olimex).
Many emulators of old PC are available, and also different variant of "run to BASIC" PCs.
for ESP32 and
for the Raspberry Pi Pico.
ESP32 can also emulate the NES and SEGA.
Older Tiny BASIC PC for Arduino are presented at the end.

This is amazing! I need instructions! I knew the ESP32 was very powerful but I never thought it would run emulators so well! How do you connect the display and keyboard/mouse to it?

ESP32 ftw!! 💪 But, we missed ESPectrum in that list 😊

How compatible is software between the FabGL VGA32 by LILYGO and the ESP32-SBC-FabGL? It seems Olimex made their own fork of FabGL, and their space invaders example was rewritten to match the ESP32-SBC-FabGL hardware. The ESP32-SBC-FabGL seems good (I bought one) but I'm not clear who practical it is to use software written for similar hardware, like the TTGO I keep seeing examples for.

Hi, i purchased one before xmas just to run as a cpm machine, the entire thing fits in a $2 kids lunchbox with power adapter and small usb gamepad

Wife likes it because i did not buy a genuine PC XT or AT machine that will gobble up another desk

Hello. Where can I download the software shown in 0:48, or 3:24? Is there a whole collection of projects for Lilly somewhere where I can download everything I can try? I'm currently testing ESPectrum but... Heavy topic with keyboard and operation and I have a problem with freezing when trying to load anything

That Xtensa CPU is way too capable, with enough RAM and a native rewrite of WinNT I assume it can be a whole working system.

wow..even the room changes when you switch emulators.
