| Web-based Emulator of my Ben Eater inspired 8-bit breadboard computer |

Howdy. This may be of interest to some. First, I watched Ben Eater's fantastic YouTube series. Then, I made my own and improved it, incorporating some of James Bates' improvements and some of my own, including an esp8266 (Wi-Fi) program loader. I added a web-based assembler, based on customasm. Then, I wrote an emulator for it in C. Then, I wrote a web front-end for it. This is the result. A breadboard computer that you can program, in your browser! https://cpu.visualrealmsoftware.com/emu Demonstration video: The real deal: Note: I plan to share the code that went into building my computer and emulator soon. Will reply here once I do. Update 25/09/2019: All code now available here: https://github.com/visrealm/vrcpu |

That looks nice, I made one as well off of his videos, I added a LCD display and made say “hello world”. Are you planing on making a video card like ben did on his recent videos? |
| visrealm:
Thanks! I'm not planning to make the video card, though one of my friends is pushing for it :D I do plan to add an LCD display though - will make it a bit more useful. Though, then I'll have to emulate that too ;D |

This is a picture of my board, I wanted to add some input, but I'm still in school didn't really have time. Are you making videos on this project, like a YouTube channel? [ Specified attachment is not available ] |

Looks great! Well done. It's quite an achievement to finish it. I didn't really document the build. I have some photos and very short videos in my Gallery I have one YT video of it running: https://youtu.be/Zj5HfeiyHRU and the other video on the emulator (above) |
