Its working on my real machine. Played first game. Well the display was showing on my desk. Will connect it using an extra cable. Not easy and there are some performance penalties but it is working

Using a modern motherboard with pci express lpt port

Just changed my code a little and use a start proces to gain control over io. Much better now. Next week will start on DCS code :)

I replaced my nucore emulator with my own one in my pinball machine. It works very smooth incl DCS emulation
This means that even wizard blocks can be run with all original sounds :)
At the moment working on getting the serial ports work so also the terminal is available
