#i8080e

A simple emulator for the Intel 8080, along with other parts of the Space Invaders arcade system. Tested with the CPUDIAG routine, and Space Invaders.

#Building and running

#Supported systems

Tested with:

• x86_64 Linux Ubuntu 21.04 (gcc & glibc)
• armhf Raspberry Pi OS Buster (gcc & glibc)

Anything with a C compiler and SDL backend will probably work fine.

#Dependencies

• LibSDL 2

To install on Ubuntu: $ sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev.

#Building

Run $ make release in the project directory to build, it puts the executable at bin/i8080e

#Getting the ROM

I can't distribute the ROM here for obvious copyright reasons, but it's not particularly hard to find.

Once you have it, extract it to <project_directory>/rom. The directory should look something like this:

i8080e/rom
├── invaders.e
├── invaders.f
├── invaders.g
└── invaders.h

#Running

Simply execute the binary from the project directory to run.

$ bin/i8080e

no arguments or flags are needed and it'll pick up and load the ROM from its directory.
