Whoah, where was I?

OK. You should know that I've been busy when I haven't even found the time to post a single blog in nearly three weeks, and when I had to fumble around trying to remember my password for this site. D:

Anyway, developments:

I've finally taken the step to x86 assembly, after previously only bothering with ARM7/9.

It helps a lot.

I even made a theoretical 8-bit CPU emulator called SAUCE, which means something: Simple Absolutely Useless CPU Emulator.

Well, not that useless. I made an assembler for it. It works perfectly with any labels you want, but no macros (yet).

Well, I haven't got any images to show of anything, because I forgot to get any from my own PC, but… I'll not forget 64D this time.

dude i was just referring to the lack of posts on this blog, that was my conclusion, that if a blog doesn't have images to show what it's explaining, than it seems to have less or no comments.

didn't mean disrespect in anyway. you certainly did though but i can understand the misinterpretation. (plus it's just the internetz trololololol)

as for your SAUCE, i'm not sure if you can make an emulator to emulate something that never existed. i'm pretty sure the definition is something like that. an emulator's purpose is to emulate one system on another, but if the first system never existed, than what are you emulating?

however the concept still seems pretty interesting but since i don't know shit about how an emulator works, you would have to do a bit more explaining for dummies like me =3

CyEdit: then why bother commenting? TROLOLOLOLOL

Quite easy. I designed the chip on paper, to the point where I could construct it given the correct tools. It follows quite closely to the x86 architecture as far as capabilities go, but resembles the 6502 more.
