Short: Z80 emulation package for the 680x0
Type: misc/emu
Uploader: m90rca@tdb.uu.se
Zilog Z80 CPU emulator package for the Motorola M68000 family
Version 0.99b
Author: Richard Carlsson
The emulator package is freeware. It is coded entirely in 680x0
assembler, and is probably the fastest existing Z80 emulator for
this processor family, while retaining complete generality.
It was developed on an Amiga, but should be possible to use on any
680x0-based computer without any modifications.
These are big words, but as an example I use it to emulate a
ZX Spectrum on my Amiga. Run on a 68030/40 it is slightly faster
than an ordinary Spectrum, and still the main Z80 emulation code
does not contain anything Amiga- or Spectrum-specific.
This archive contains the assembler sources and some compiled (Amiga
DOS) object files.
This is the first public release, and is only a beta testing version.
Most things are working very well, however, and apart from bug fixes
there will probably not be any major changes. I will particularly try
to keep the interface as stable as possible, so don't hesitate to
begin using it in a project.
A word of advice: Unless you are hell-bent on it, don't make another
Spectrum emulator for the Amiga. PeterMcGavin's emulator already does
most of what you want, so you're better off just sending him (or me)
your ideas.
Enjoy, and remember the good old days of Z80 hacking!
