I’ve uploaded the Microtan 65 emulator to GitHub. There’s still quite a lot to do (and I’ve not done much to it since October), but it’s usable.

I got a bit distracted writing a “graphics card” for it, rather than getting the important stuff working:

  • Complete hex-keypad emulation
  • Emulation of the dual AY-8910 sound board
  • Emulation of the serial interface
  • Support for more file formats (Zillion Hex and Intel Hex)
  • A menu

When it’s finished, the graphics card should be fun and let you write some decent hi-res (well, 256×256) games for it that will run at a good speed.
