It's C++. Code is here: https://bitbucket.org/zxmarcos/tmsemu/
Oh good! I was hoping it would be portable. Thanks. :)

It will be easily ported to FBA when it's ready  :smilie:.
I like to write standalone emulators first because I can have a full featured debugger to find bugs :D Debugging new core on FBA is really hard.

I fixed the IRQ problem, it was a bugtypo in a opcode that change processor status.




T-Unit



The game isn't clearing the screen before drawing... probably my implementation of FILL XY.
The game also refuses to accept coins, but on test menu it works fine  :S

I definitely should give it a try, but atm I'm focusing on W/T-Unit because they are simpler.
btoads has a more complex video hardware.

The Midway Y Unit Driver has some nice games more classics at any rate certainly worth considering

  • All games deserve to be emulated, more or less! :P

Battle Toads should use a TMS34020 as main CPU... this microprocessor should have an enhanced instruction set compared to the TMS34010 (though I could be wrong).

True, it has more 40 opcodes, however MAME implements only 5 of them. not a big deal. Opcodes implemented: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1htNoyDN9m4psQpyl7AtJJxAdcPlzQDZ4aek6GaZ3LqQ/edit?usp=sharing

I think the hardest problem with this processor family is the graphics operations,  there are 10 operations, but they are very customizable like raster operations, etc.

They should be the first processors which include graphics oriented instructions, a kind of "pioneers-ancestors" for the current GPUs...

I'm looking forward to see the TMS340x0 processors emulated by FBA, but, obviously, there is no hurry... you're doing an excellent work, thanks a lot! :)
