This is a 8080-Emulator written in C, built with the help of the website: http://www.emulator101.com/ in order to emulate the space invaders game.
As someone who uses emulators like Dolphin, Citra, RPCS3, Cemu and Yuzu all the time and loves to read the development notes, I decided to build an emulator myself. I like to take things slow, so I opted to emulate one of the earliest processors - the 1974's Intel 8080.
## On the Philosophy of Processors
I finally understand how CISC processors work, I've played Turing Complete and built 2 RISC processors in the game and also one in my computer architecture class, but I've never really imagined how CISC-commands look like. It's a different philosophy, though to be honest I still prefer the RISC-architecture even if the machine code turns out to be longer, because beauty is in simplicity and elegance.
