Ymgyrch
Also known as Yemefngtghjgodigiveup
Introduction
Hey guys! Today I want to show you something cool and get your feedback on it. It's called Ymgyrch (Or Expedition, it's welsh), and it's a cool emulator I built. It's actually a huge common platform for emulators, which can be attached and separated. So if I want a Z80 emulator, and nothing else, you just compile Z80 support, and that's that. The thing is; it's not all that dynamic, at least for now. I want to get some components done. It's written in C++.

Features
  • + It starts up
  • + It can emulate at a newborn level
  • + It supports multiple architectures
  • - It supports multiple architectures
  • + Extensible component based architecture

Now, mind you it is absolutely terrible at emulating, and it's life in particular: but this is a young project, and everything is smashed together to get it somewhat working.

"Supported" Architectures and bytecode formats
  • Z80 (Most developed so far)
  • LR35902 (A kind of Z80 in a gameboy)
  • 8086 (EightohEightSix)
  • YBF (Ymgyrch bytecode format, dead)
  • SMTL (Self Modifying Test Language)

Why am I posting this on here
I just want your guys opinions on this: not the emulator in it's current state so much (that would be so negative), but the general idea. If you could leave comments, (hopefully constructive) criticism, and/or suggestions below, that would be great.
Well where's the project?
Hosted on github, of course
Anything else?
Alot of stuff is under --help, and I left some test files for the Z80 under test/. You need to compile them with Z80 asm. Also since the Z80 emulation is so broken (75% of opcodes are unimplemented), zexall and zexdoc don't work. However loop, mem, and null, as well as z80 work.

Thanks,
Lionel

Anything emulator-related is interesting. Looking forward to seeing your progress. If you need help with the 8086 stuff, let me know because I've written one myself.

How well does your Z80 work?

Woah, whoops! Sorry I forgot about this thread. I am now active on Ymgyrch again.

Pretty non functional! And also I'll check it out. I'm working mostly on the z80 emulation now.
