# Clock Signal
Clock Signal ('CLK') is an emulator for tourists that seeks to be invisible. Users directly launch classic software, avoiding the learning curves associated with emulators and with classic machines.

This emulator seeks to offer:
* single-click load of any piece of source media for any supported platform;
* with a heavy signal processing tilt for accurate reproduction of original outputs;
* while minimising latency.

It currently contains emulations of the:
* Acorn Electron;
* Amstrad CPC;
* Apple II/II+ and IIe;
* Atari 2600;
* Atari ST;
* ColecoVision;
* Commodore Vic-20 (and Commodore 1540/1);
* Enterprise 64/128;
* Macintosh 512ke and Plus;
* MSX 1;
* Oric 1/Atmos;
* Sega Master System;
* Sinclair ZX80/81; and
* Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

macOS and source releases are [hosted on GitHub](https://github.com/TomHarte/CLK/releases). For desktop Linux it is also available as a [Snap](https://snapcraft.io/clock-signal). On the Mac it is a native Cocoa and Metal application; under Linux, BSD and other UNIXes and UNIX-alikes it uses OpenGL and can be built either with Qt or with SDL.

## Single-step Loading

Through static and runtime analysis CLK seeks automatically to select and configure the appropriate machine to run any provided disk, tape or ROM; to issue any commands necessary to run the software contained on the disk, tape or ROM; and to provide accelerated loading where feasible.

With CLK installed the full process of loading a piece of software — even if you've never used the machine it runs on before — is therefore:
