    umm... No...
    ZC isn't an emulator...
    It doesn't emulate Loz, it's a clone of it.

    The nitty, gritty reason you can't do it is because ZC was made from scratch. It wasn't made from a modified ROM of the game itself. It has little to no similar code to that of an NES game.

    IDK, I wouldn't call it impossible, but it would take a lot of work, especially with maps and ROM size needed to be expanded and stuff.

    As they say, hey, you never know. :)

    Pretty sure he's asking if we can making a quest a patch for the rom.
    And the answer would be no. I would love to see some N. Korean pirates attempt it though.
    So warlord has an excuse to bomb them

    I'd stand in awe of anyone who could convert a ZC quest into 6502 assembly code.

    Download Lands of Serenity today! You will be knocked comatose by its sheer awesomeness.
    The Titan's Quest, best played in the bathroom as the excitement can be somewhat...overwhelming.

    Taiwan: Where the Family Computer clone is still 'high tech' hardware.

    I dare you all to dig up the ZC 1.0 sources, and cross-compile them to 65xx architecture.
