8080

A complete emulation of the Intel 8080 processor written in C99. Goals:

  • accuracy: it passes all test roms at my disposal
  • readability
  • portability: tested on debian 8 with gcc 5, macOS 10.12+ with clang and emscripten 1.39

You can see it in action in my Space Invaders emulator.

Running tests

You can run the tests by running make && ./i8080_tests. The emulator passes the following tests:

  • TST8080.COM
  • CPUTEST.COM
  • 8080PRE.COM
  • 8080EXM.COM

The test roms (cpu_tests folder) are taken from here and take approximately 30 seconds on my computer (MacBook Pro mid-2014) to run.

The standard output is as follows:
