Re: Project update

The instruction timing is different.

would all have to be accounted for)

MMU and other peripherals would be a straight bonus for use with the
existing z80 core, the only immediate instruction would probably be

MMU and serial ports are likely a lot simpler than the instruction set. I am into Z180's so I'll probably try to do something there but I am not so...

If you run the processor at a faster speed code like that would break anyway. There's only one piece of code I've written that would work that that way that I...
