No, you'd just have to write it from scratch.
Nothing strange about that, and
doing something about V4 and V5 games isn't that difficult either. Given a
little time I sure could whip one together, but for now I'll leave the
exercise to someone else.
I've already written one Z-machine interpreter in MACRO-11. It deals with
anything V1 to V8, except for obvious limitations (no sounds, no graphics, no
mouse...)
There I completely disagree! I've ported the Z-machine interpreter from
InterTaskForce (written in C, and really good if you want to understand
how the interpreter works) to the IBM 5110 (written in PALM assembler),
including paging etc. But until now nobody else has ever wanted to try it
on his 5110/5120... Seems all 5110 owners don't want to use their
machines.
