Z80 rules!

Thanks :)

    Out of curiosity, have you thought about trying to port "real" games over to it, as in running a ROM of something commercially released? This is already really cool, but it would be nerd-cred-for-life cool if you could say "Oh, you have a gameboy? Yeah, I built my own."

    I love that there is a group of people who still love the Z80!

    Such a beautifully designed chip.

      I was doing a little bit of Z80 work a while back, but I didn't particularly seem to appreciate its design (compared to say MIPS). Why do you think it's beautifully designed?

    I used to do Z80 programming in the TI-82 in high school back in 2002. This seeing the code in the article brought back some good memories.
