Binaries of the latest semi-stable release, is on the releases tab.
Latest binaries can be found in Actions
If you've downloaded an older version before and the UI looks a bit broken, try deleting "imgui.ini" and "config.ini" in order to reset the UI to the default options.
There are lots of examples in the "examples/" folder.
Run 8085sim.exe file, and the rest is pretty self explanatory.
OR if you want to open a file straight away:
- Using commandline: ./8085sim.exe [filename]
- OR Drag and drop the file to 8085sim.exe
- chmod +x 8085sim
- ./8085sim [filename]
When building from source, binaries will go in the "Binaries/" folder.
Feel free to report bugs, ask questions or request a feature in the Issues tab.
- Run-time errors, such as using "POP" on an empty stack.
- Don't crash when background stuff goes wrong
- DAA instruction should calculate Carry flag.
- Double-check if interrupts should be disabled while another interrupt is being handled. If so, should they be re-enabled automatically?
- Greek characters support
CPU usage should be very low. You can change the CPU frequency and accuracy, though that will impact how some code (such as DELA,DELB) works.
Due to using hardware accelarated UI (Dear ImGui), there is some GPU usage. In my laptop, this ranges from 5-15%. To lower this, you can lower the UI FPS.
Normally, this library is used for games, using their existing API, adding almost 0 overhead. In this case, the application doesn't otherwise have any GPU-accelarated code.
The entire UI is refreshed every frame even when not needed. There are plans to make optimizations, but with no timeframe. This would make the GPU usage 0% while not running the code, but wouldn't have a less significant impact when running, due to hex editor and registers window. That would, however, give me other ways of optimizing.
There is currently a PR that implements this. But it's for directx12, thus not cross-platform. It's also not for the docking branch. I have plans of trying to implement this myself, but no promises.
However, in the current state of the application, I don't think this is much of a problem.
