Simple Intel 8080 machine code emulator in Haskell

Hamu 8080 – a simple Intel 8080 machine code emulator

Hamu 8080 is a simple Intel 8080 machine code emulator written in Haskell intended only for instruction and fun. Inspiration was Charles Petzold’s excellent CODE – The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software. Since the emulator doesn’t support input/output it can’t be of any “serious” use. Programs are loaded as lists of pure machine codes; there’s not even an assembly-like Haskell DSL. All instructions apart from OUT/IN have been implemented however (but not rigorously tested).

Possible Extensions

• Input/output in some form
• Simple assembler
• Load program from file
• Add log to computation
• Abstract out specific RAM type
