"Minivader" Source release
This is a tiny emulator that I've been fiddling with for a while. I tried to keep the code well commented and hopefully this could be useful to someone who wants to learn very basic KOS stuff.
It's also got a few spiffy things like automatic language detection, the code (although not actually implemented due to lack of ability to test) for having it adjust for auto-stretching widescreen displays, a simple jump table for memory reads, and implementation of multiple cpu cores. That z80 interface, by the way, is being used in my WIP tests with genplusdc and works well we just don't really have a z80 emulator worth it other than cz80 (no offense of course blue , CrabZ80 is just too slow for it ).
Anyways, enjoy.

Minivader. It's based on a MAME driver. Single tiny arcade board that was made to test monitors. Basically a Z80 attached to a few bits of rom and ram. I didn't mention that just because it's not really important to what it is =P.

Re: "Minivader" Source release
Darn. Here I was thinking that the actual source to Minivader might be released.
Realistically, I doubt Taito even has it anymore...

Re: "Minivader" Source release
Nice release.
Edit: He's still my hero but CZ80 doesn't seem to be as compatible as other Z80 emulators.
Wouldn't Fox68k's FAZE (Z80 emulator in SH4 asm) be an alternative? The way I see it, Stef's CZ80 is the reason why so many games are broken in GenesisPlusDC.Quzar wrote:That z80 interface, by the way, is being used in my WIP tests with genplusdc and works well we just don't really have a z80 emulator worth it other than cz80.

Re: "Minivader" Source release
Oooooo. Nice project idea (would be a good way to learn basic z80 asm). I had actually thought it would be worth a shot to petition Taito to release it to the public domain, but can't think on how to go about doing so.Ex-Cyber wrote:Darn.
