BCPU-16

An emulator of a fantasy hardware ISA (inspired by DCPU-16).

This was originally written in 2018.

Overview

This is a project designed to help me learn about low level computing in the coolest way possible (in my opinion), by creating an emulator for custom hardware!

Design

The instruction set is designed to be easy to emulate. Parameters are all 8-16 bits, with binary only used for signing. This makes it easier on the brain.

Goals

I have these uncompleted goals set in place:

• Debugger
• Keyboard
• Monochrome Display

How To

To assemble a ROM:

./assemble.sh source destination

To disassemble a ROM:

./disassemble.sh rom destination

To emulate:

./emulate.sh rom
