A long time ago, I wrote a 68000 emulator in C to replace MAME's x86 assembler core. After months and months of poring through my old Amiga programming books and the Motorola manual, I still remember clearly that moment where I fired up the emulator, and actually SAW the title screen of Rastan Saga come up after the game booted from my core. Truly a magical experience...
After that, I doubled down and wrote a g65816 emulator for it (that's the CPU the SNES and Apple IIgs used). Emulator writing is almost a zen-like experience.
- matthewwiese 8y agoIf you happen to remember, which of those Amiga books was the most useful to you? At the moment (well, for years really) I have been in a 6502 binge, but want to get into m68k programming as well (and the Amiga ecosystem specifically).
