  3. py_z80

    A Python emulator for the Z80 CPU.

    A while back I wrote a z80 emulator in python. Works ok, but it was quite slow. I'm blaming python. More recently I wrote a 6502 emulator in golang. This is better than realtime (@1MHz) and is a nicer language to write such things in IMO. Also: The 6502 is a better chip than the Z80. About the same function/performance, a simpler ISA and half the transistors.
