IOcards Emulator (Simulador)

Can somebody please confirm for me that The IOcards emulator featured in this tutorial at this link is no longer supported in later versions of SIOC.

I was just wanting to start writing some small test scripts without having to pull out all the harware & connect it up.

I can't see any option for the emulator in the SIOCini Config tool to select it as an option, I have tried putting it in the sioc.ini file manually but the emulator does not launch automatically as described & does not seem to respond.

Cheers Glenn.
