@jaybird110127@dragonscave.space @HunterXWorld@mstdn.social I couldn't make it work with Textalker GS either. I'd load Textalker GS, then boot one of the Infocom floppies with PR#6, and it would crash. This was running under MAME, of course, with the older version of Textalker GS that worked under emulation.
Of course, it's not that big a deal now, as there are accessible ways to play Z-code games on modern PCs.

@matt@toot.cafe @jaybird110127@dragonscave.space Of course. Just figured more ways to play would be better, especially seeing as two other 8-bit micro emulators (Zesarux and BeebEm) can handle Z-Machine boot disks just fine, probably because there's no requirement to emulate a screen reader or a speech synthesizer. Also, anyone want to try taking a gander on making an accessible C64 emulator, please and thank you?
