sPycialist

What's this?

sPycialist is "Specialist" PC emulator written in Python. It uses my own realization of Intel 8080 CPU emulation written in Python too.

Specialist PC on Wikipedia

This Intel 8080 emulator successfully passes all tests of 8080/8085 CPU Exerciser.

Requirements

• Python 3
• pygame library (use 'pip install pygame' command in console for installation)

Usage

To launch emulator use this command:

python spycialist.py

Press this keys sequence in the emulator for launch loaded game: F1, ENTER, U, ENTER.

To load another game put RKS file beside emulator files then change GAME constant in spycialist.py file and finally restart emulator.

Known issues

• Low emulation speed due to general Python speed
• There is no sound emulation
