Progress update on my 8-bit computer

First, here is what it currently looks like.

I now have every part except for an 8 bit binary comparator. (It can work just fine without that though.)

Right now, I’m learning how to design circuit boards, and hopefully once it’s working like it should, I’ll order a board for it.

Also, I’m thinking about adding a really cool register to it, but that won’t be added till the whole thing works.

TO-DO LIST:
  • get bigger eeprom chips to support more than two flags
  • get binary comparator chip
  • expand ram to 16 bits so I can have more instructions
  • find a binary multiplier circuit that isn't serial
  • find a way to add persistent memory
  • construct a FILO register array. (no idea how that's gonna turn out, but this is the part I mentioned above, Ind its been really fun trying to design it!)

Kudos!
Maybe PM @blujay about the circuit board. I feel you guys could learn a lot from each other.

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    the game has as much bugs ingame as well as in RL
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That games so mixed I hear people praise or say they love it
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    it's both, they love it and hate it just as much
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like we get mixed reviews but that games globally mixed like mj
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    love the gameplay, hate the buggy mess it's also in, much drama and controversy also related due to sony being sony
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    the mixed reviews is due to review bombing, because a chunk of regions are excluded/banned from buying it now
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    so the players are review bombing as response to sony doubling down on their so-called policy
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe the real bugs were the glitches they didn't patch along the way
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    there are instability issues regarding certain hardware setups, but it's a small part
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    game's now what, 3 months out the door
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    live service game for 40 bucks that sold 12 mil copies
