# 8080 Emulator in Python
An Intel 8080 emulator written in Python. It runs Altair BASIC and CP/M! It
even passes 8080EXER!
## Screenshots

Passing 8080 instruction exerciser tests:
## Running Altair BASIC
To run Altair BASIC, just run `altair_basic.py`:
```
python altair_basic.py
```
It will load 8K BASIC by default. Use the `-4`, `-8`, and `-e` options to
specify 4K, 8K, or Extended BASIC.
You can specify a program to load on start with `-f`:
```
python altair_basic.py -8 -f wumpus.bas
```
## Running CP/M
To run CP/M, first install [PyGame][1]:
```
poetry install
```
Or:
```
pip install -U pygame
```
[1]: https://www.pygame.org/
Then, run `cpm.py`, specifying the disk images to load using the `-da`, `-db`,
`-dc`, ..., `-dp` options. You'll probably want to set `-da` to
`cpm_2.2/cpm22py64k.bin` unless you've created your own bootable disk images.
```
python cpm.py -da cpm_2.2/cpm22py64k.bin -db wordstar.bin
```
The image file must be raw images of single-sided single-density 8-inch floppy
disks with CP/M 2.2 directory data, such as an image created using
[cpmtools][3]' default format, `ibm-3740`.

## 8080 instruction exerciser
To run 8080EX1 without CP/M, run `8080exer.py`:
```
python 8080exer.py
```
