Experimented with this '90s design to explore the rendering pipeline... It's fascinating how much effort went into making games enjoyable back then.

This is how donkey.bas (PC XT ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ, 1982) looks on #tangconsole upcoming PCXT core. CPU, floppy๐Ÿ’พ, USB keyboard, CGA are all working now. Working on hdd and sound...๐ŸŽˆ

The PC XT is a simple machine by modern standards. But porting this core turns out to be quite some work. The floppy/hdd requires new two way communication between mcu and fpga. Keyboard is also non-trivial as this is pre-PS/2. Should make future computer cores easier tho. :)

Working on the PC/XT core. Added a in-game menu to mount floppy images. This is almost ready for a basic first release. ๐Ÿ“ Also refactoring the firmware at the same time, making things more maintainable.
