achtBit 1.8

Description

achtBit is a 8 bit emulator created from scratch, including an assembler.

Ever had the experience of a 8 bit system, having max. 64k memory, using assembler to write effective small programs?

This system is an experimental 8 bit, 16 color computer, with a processer similar to Z80, that (on my laptop using linux with NO opengl support) achieves up to 1.2 Million instructions per second and 50 Hz. screen refresh rate.

It has a builtin assembler to load assembler programs.

There is a rudimentary rom that implements some basic functions like line input, or a system clock.

Also there is a snake game, (depending on that rom), as a reference and for fun!

Features

  • eight bit cpu emulator
  • customizable 16 color palette
  • one text and three graphic modes
  • sound port (one line)
  • machine language similar to Z80

  • builtin load of assembler programs and memory dumps
  • builtin debug tools
