|
||||
* is modular, allowing as much code reuse within the application as is practical;
|
||||
* is unit-testable, to the extent that C allows, and maintains a high level of code coverage.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updates (Jan 18, 2018)
|
||||
|
||||
I thought I'd write something on the state of the emulator. Here's
|
||||
what's done so far:
|
||||
|
||||
* We have fully implemented the MOS 6502 processor support for the Apple
|
||||
II, and we have much of the infrastructure to emulate an Apple II
|
||||
machine in place now.
|
||||
* Memory organization is principally complete. There's a lot of memory
|
||||
in the Apple II! You have main memory, auxiliary memory,
|
||||
bank-switchable memory, read-only memory. Early on, we implemented
|
||||
memory map support for vm_segments, which is something that has
|
||||
been flexible enough to support all of the types of soft-switches
|
||||
that the Apple II has to control access to said memory (as well as
|
||||
for many other functions).
|
||||
* There's a basic disassembler in place for the 6502 support, which has
|
||||
been incredibly helpful in identifying where we have had functional
|
||||
breakdowns in terms of proper execution and bootstrapping of the
|
||||
"machine".
|
||||
* We're up to 169 tests as of the time of this writing, which is
|
||||
awesome!
|
||||
|
||||
We do have a lot of stuff done for the graphics system, but there's a
|
||||
lot more to go; getting graphics and text working as intended is my next
|
||||
goal. I'm hopeful this will lead us to a point where erc is usable with
|
||||
general disk images of software.
|
||||
|
||||
Some ideas for the future:
|
||||
|
||||
* An assembler that could splice a program into multiple disk images
|
||||
* Commadore 64 support (which will be difficult, as I've used a
|
||||
Commadore maybe...one time? Two times?)
|
||||
|
||||
## Running
|
||||
|
||||
Right now, erc is mostly unusable; large components of it are still being built out. However, if you do run it, you will see a string that reads:
