z80sim — Z80 Simulator/Debugger for the Zipit Z2
[ Twentyfifth in a series recreating the lost posts -- This was originally posted 20/06/10]
As many of you might know i'm very old-skool and a bit of a Z80 and CP/M fanboy. So when I had a few minutes between world cup football games this morning I decided to see if I could get YAZE or z80pack running on the Zipit (If the Z2 had a few more pixel rows i'd be ecstatic as then I could use it to emulate a TRaSh80 model 3/4, Grundy Newbrain, Camputers Lynx and a few others of my favourite 80s home micros) because if I can't get full machine emulation maybe I can have CP/M 2.2 or CP/M3 on my Zipit.
After a few false starts I got both YAZE and z80pack compiled and running and after a bit of playing I decided that I currently like z80pack better as it's more faithful to the z80 and CP/M experience and has a lot of things available for it.
I'm working on packaging it but in the meantime if you want to have a little play with the emulator and debugger then you can find the binary for IZ2S/EZ2S here
