Yet another Sharp MZ-80K emulator ...

[timh]

Hi all,

For the last few weeks I've been working on putting together an emulator for the Sharp MZ-80K, using a Raspberry Pico and the Pimoroni VGA demo base. It's now at the stage where it is functionally complete and I'm testing it. I'm also in the process of documenting it from a user and a (pico) programmer's perspective.

I'm hoping to have something ready for general use by the end of this month. If you're interested, you can follow my progress here:

I know the world probably doesn't need another Sharp emulator, but it's keeping me amused!

I've let a beta version escape into the wild today. It's likely to be replaced fairly quickly by a proper v1 release, but just in case someone would like to try it in the next few days you can find it (plus documentation) here:

... and release v1.0.0 has now escaped.

I hope that the documentation and code comments are useful to others who may try something similar in future.
