I love optimizing z80, squeezing every last cycle out of a routine. Writing the whole program in z80 is less fun than it used to be in the 80s

I was supposed to do stuff today but i started feeling an overpowering elation and hyperfocus induced inner tranquility from programming z80 assembler all morning.

If you were a bedroom coder in 1983, your entire software development toolkit consisted of a ZX Spectrum, a cassette deck, and a magazine with a list of Z80 opcodes in the back. Most of those games worked. The ones that didn't, you debugged by staring at the screen until your eyes hurt.

Fixed a couple of known issues in the visual-cpu-remix simulators, the update should also fix the text quality problems with fractional scaling on high-dpi displays.

Just because I’m working on GB Tetris to run on other Z80 machines.

Zachtronics just just straight up teaching kids how to write Assembly with TIS-100. When I was a kid I printed off the manual on the school printers. That knowledge did translate over to Z80 assembly.

Oh, Lordt.
Now I'm watching videos on Z80 and CPUs.
My partner put in his ear buds because we stayed up watching Heroes, and he said he's too tired for this 😂

I sometimes wonder where I would be in life if I had chosen Z80 over MOS6510.

6 cycles per pixel.. hm. :) I wonder if that could work on z80?
Here's the repo for an image compression format that can be decoded at extremely high speed, even race the beam on an RP2350 microcontroller: github.com/raphlinus/ni...

If you love the Z80, the Genesis sneaks one in too: it's the sound CPU that drives the YM2612 and the PSG. So that one could count! Fair warning though, the retro hardware rabbit hole has no bottom.

Z80といえば自分の所有した初めてのコンピューターがZ80のSHARP PC-G801というポケコンでした
工学社のポケコンジャーナルを見ながらゲームを入力したりしてBASICに入門、ハンドアセンブルで機械語とかも
この頃は外付けストレージを持っていなかったので物理ノートにメモしたりしつつ書いては消し書いては消ししていました

0100 EB,03 ←8086だと0105に飛ぶ、Z80は素通り
0102 C3 00 02 ←Z80は0200に飛ぶ
0105 ～8086のコードを置く
要は２バイト目のコードがZ80でどういう意味になるのかで飛び先が変わるんだけど、まぁ実用性は・・・。
