Iqembu labathuthukisi elingajabule ngoshintsho lwelayisense ye-retrocomputer simulator SIMH yasungula iphrojekthi ye-Open SIMH, ezoqhubeka nokuthuthukisa isisekelo sekhodi yesifanisi ngaphansi kwelayisensi ye-MIT. Izinqumo ezihlobene nokuthuthukiswa kwe-Open SIMH zizokwenziwa ngokuhlanganyela umkhandlu ophethe, ohlanganisa abahlanganyeli abayi-6. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi uRobert Supnik, umbhali wokuqala wale phrojekthi kanye nowayeyisekela likamongameli we-DEC, ukhulunywa phakathi kwabasunguli be-Open SIMH, ngakho-ke i-Open SIMH ingabhekwa njengohlelo oluyinhloko lwe-SIMH.
I-SIMH ibilokhu ithuthukiswa kusukela ngo-1993 futhi ihlinzeka ngenkundla yokudala izilingisi zamakhompiyutha ayifa aphindaphinda ngokuphelele ukuziphatha kwezinhlelo eziphindaphindekayo, okuhlanganisa namaphutha aziwayo. Izifanisi zingasetshenziswa enqubweni yokufunda ukwethula ubuchwepheshe be-retro noma ukusebenzisa isoftware yezinto zokusebenza ezingasekho. Isici esihlukile se-SIMH kulula ukudala izilingisi zamasistimu amasha ngokuhlinzeka ngamakhono ajwayelekile enziwe ngomumo. Amasistimu asekelwayo afaka amamodeli ahlukahlukene PDP, VAX, HP, IBM, Altair, GRI, Interdata, Honeywell. Izilingisi ze-BESM zinikezwa ngamasistimu wekhompyutha weSoviet. Ngokungeziwe kuzilingisi, iphrojekthi iphinde ithuthukise amathuluzi okuguqula izithombe zesistimu namafomethi wedatha, ukukhipha amafayela ezinqolobaneni zamatheyiphu kanye nezinhlelo zamafayela efa.
Kusukela ngo-2011, indawo eyinhloko yokuthuthukiswa kwephrojekthi ibe yindawo yokugcina ku-GitHub, egcinwe nguMark Pizzolato, owabamba iqhaza elikhulu ekuthuthukisweni kwephrojekthi. NgoMeyi, ekuphenduleni ukugxekwa komsebenzi we-AUTOSIZE owengeza imethadatha ezithombeni zesistimu, u-Mark wenze izinguquko kulayisense yephrojekthi ngaphandle kolwazi lwabanye onjiniyela. Embhalweni omusha welayisense, u-Mark wenqabele ukusetshenziswa kwayo yonke ikhodi yakhe entsha ezongezwa kumafayela we-sim_disk.c kanye ne-scp.c uma ukuziphatha noma amanani azenzakalelayo ahlotshaniswa nokusebenza kwe-AUTOSIZE eshintshile.
Ngenxa yalesi simo, iphakheji empeleni yahlelwa kabusha njengengakhululekile. Isibonelo, ilayisense eshintshiwe ngeke ivumele izinguqulo ezintsha ukuthi zilethwe kumakhosombe e-Debian ne-Fedora. Ukuze kugcinwe imvelo yamahhala yephrojekthi, ukwenza intuthuko ezithakazelweni zomphakathi futhi kudlulele ekuthathweni kwezinqumo okuhlangene, iqembu lokusungula labathuthukisi lidale imfoloko ye-SIMH evulekile, lapho isimo senqolobane sidluliselwe khona ngaphambi kokushintsha kwelayisensi.
