Hi all,

Play chess again against the MMIV and MMV on your PC.

Thanks goes to Thorsten for pointing out the emulator software to me and to Saitek for their courtesy to abstain the copyright of the 2 programs.

Regards,

Ed

Hi Ed,
This is excellent but does it have the same strength as if i was playing the real dedicated chess machine and not stronger because of the pc cpu.

regards
Ricardo

Thanks Robert,

I will try to test this emulator with one of my dedicated chess machines maybe in 6 or 10 games.

best regards
Ricardo

Robert,

I test it but it seems that is in a level of fast moves.

How can i change the level of play of the MMV or MMIV through the keybord in this emulator?

best
Ricardo

It's there, but the URL in the link is messed up.

Try http://www.top-5000.nl/dl/dedicated.zip

My Norton Antivirus warns that "dedicated.zip" is infected. I cancelled the download.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi,

you can find the actual mess binaries for windows which include also the chess computer drivers on www.mess.org.
The sources of mess are available,too. So everyone can build binaries
for different platforms. i.e Linux, Mac OSX.
The glasgow roms could be downloaded via the link in this thread.

I test this emulator with a 10 game match with palm hiarcs set at 2000 elo
i set the emultor to 100% speed.

Final score: mm5 (emulator) 9 palm hiarcs (2000 elo) 1.

So it seems that this emulator is stronger than the real dedicated mm5.

I will test the emulator at 50% speed.

hiarcs was runnuing on a zire 72.

I test the emulator with citrine now. I am playing a 10 game match and the score is after 5 games: (30 min each game)

citrine 3.5 mm5 1.5

i will take the rating for citrine from de schachcomputer active elo list that is 2129 an for mm5 1988.

For the moment the score shows that the emulator plays as the real dedicated machine.

Ricardo.
P.S sorry the match with palm was wrong on settings in palm hiarcs.

I finish this match with a final score of:

citrine 6.5 mm5 3.5

so i think the emulator is fine. I will test mm4 facing it against the fidelity designer 2100 also in a 10 game.

Since i don't have enough money to have a collection as Steve has maybe i can chase him in a chep way by having emulators.

best emulators regards
