  • cpmish

    An open source sort-of CP/M 2.2 distribution.

  • It looks like you can get some CP/M-like OSes that would run on a Z80 machine (and there's a site mentioned there that is licensed to distribute CP/M itself), but you'd have to find one that has a re-implemented firmware available, or has had it made available with the permission of the copyright holders.

  • CppCoreGuidelines

    The C++ Core Guidelines are a set of tried-and-true guidelines, rules, and best practices about coding in C++

  • Some people emulate machines like the Apollo Guidance Computer, which would be more aligned with your work. Maybe you could find a project a bit like that ? Or just code another AGC simulator. You can find one here, and the website has a lot of documentation on it. Also, since you are starting to learn C++, I would suggest you take a look at the C++ Core Guidelines if you have not done so already. Also, when it comes to developing software for « things that fly », companies tend to use a language like Ada. If that is your goal to write such software, it might be a good idea to learn how to use it, and programming by contract in general, SOLID principles, etc...

  • open-roms

    A project to create unencumbered open-source ROMs for use on selected retro computers

  • chip8Archive

    A repository of community-submitted Chip8 programs and their metadata

  • The original CHIP-8 software corpus exists in a copyright gray area, though RCA is profoundly unlikely to exercise its copyright on those materials. There are, however, many programmers today writing new software targeting this platform. The CHIP-8 Archive has a collection of programs which are available under an unambiguous Creative Commons license.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
