Message: [QUOTE="Graw, post: 104589, member: 90249"] That seems like a hard way to do it unless you have hardware engineering experience. I have actually done that but I wrote it in D. I was interested in learning 6502 assembly to try and get into romhacking but I found it annoying so I thought it would be fun to design my own 16-bit virtual processor with its own set of Opcodes and assembly language. It was actually a lot of fun to make. I got to the point where I wanted to design a 'PPU' for it so I could draw stuff to the screen but at the time graphics libraries were somewhat lacking for D so I ended up moving onto something else but it was at a state where I could write a program, the assembler would assemble it and the 'CPU' could read the code and execute the instructions. I can't remember exactly but It had something like 16 registers and could access up to 16MB of memory or something with some of the address space reserved for 'device' mapping. My problem with all those kinds of devices is that they're just android devices with custom software on them. It just never made sense for me to buy something like that when I already have an android device I have with me constantly. I mean. You're not really the kind of person I have some concerns about with these things. You know what you like and what you want. You understand what they are and are realistic about them. It's more people who don't really understand thinking they need to buy something like that just to enjoy old games 'the way they're supposed to be' or whatever and needlessly shelling out money for something they don't really need to just because they think it's the only real way to play those games.
