It is, we believe, the smallest of its kind +(the fully-commented source is around 28K). Despite its size, +8086tiny provides a highly accurate 8086 CPU emulation, together +with support for PC peripherals including XT-style keyboard, +floppy/hard disk, clock, timers, audio, and Hercules/CGA graphics. +8086tiny is powerful enough to run software like AutoCAD, Windows +3.0, and legacy PC games: the 8086tiny distribution includes Alley +Cat, the author's favorite PC game of all time. + +8086tiny is highly portable and runs on practically any little +endian machine, from simple 32-bit MCUs upwards. 8086tiny has +successfully been deployed on 32-bit/64-bit Intel machines (Windows, +Mac OS X and Linux), Nexus 4/ARM (Android), iPad 3 and iPhone 5S +(iOS), and Raspberry Pi (Linux). + +The philosophy of 8086tiny is to keep the code base as small as +possible, and through the open source license and repository on +GitHub encourage individual developers to tune and extend it as +per their specific requirements, adding support, for example, for +more complex instruction sets (e.g. Pentium) or peripherals (e.g. +mouse). Any questions, comments or suggestions are very welcome in +our forum. |
