PokecomGO - SHARP Pocket computer emulator

The PokecomGO app functions as an emulator for the classic SHARP Pocket Computer (sc61860 series), catering to enthusiasts of vintage computing and hobbyists interested in experiencing this iconic series of pocket computers. The software allows users to engage with a variety of SHARP Pocket Computer models, including pc-1245, pc-1251, pc-1261, pc-1350, pc-1401, pc-1402, pc-1450, pc-1460, and pc-1470U.

To use this software, it is essential to have your ROM image file, as it is not included directly due to copyright restrictions. Upon the initial launch, the app will prompt users to place their ROM images into the designated directory, creating a path and a dummy ROM image file which will serve as a placeholder. Users must organize the ROM images, accommodating the specifics of their device's internal memory map and external ROM.

For models such as the PC-1245 and others in that category, ROM organization involves assigning the internal ROM and external ROM within the entire 64K memory space. In the case of the PC-1460 and 1470U, the process adopts a bank format, necessitating the construction of two distinct files for the internal and external ROMs respectively.

Once the ROM files are correctly recognized, users can select the target model from the initial screen. This feature-rich tool provides an authentic representation of the SHARP Pocket Computer experience, rekindling the nostalgia of the epoch and offering a unique and educational insight into the operation of these vintage machines. It is an invaluable resource for collectors and historians, offering the convenience of accessing several models from a single platform and providing a meaningful connection to computing history.
