Nice!

I'm still not done with 'ie15' driver (WIP code is at [0]), but two other emulator writers stepped in. EmuStudio [1] and Bashkiria-2m [2] (both multi-system emulators) now support this terminal. The details of video emulation are still being worked on by all of us (there's a 'snow' effect that seems to happen on real hardware as well -- see [3]).

Recorded a demo disk that was bundled with ec1841:

asst128 needs work -- it's unclear if it has the DMA chip, f.e., but the BIOS at least displays the startup logo:


ie15 also needs work -- native keyboard is not hooked up, video emulation is a bit inaccurate, and it abuses the bitbanger.

ec1841 software is working -- f.e. the tests on "tps-2.2.14" disk are useful to find emulation bugs; at the moment the CPU test fails due to some DMA breakage).

minor comment about the softlist: shortname should actually be short
we enforce at most 8 chars, with no - nor . allowed

I suggest to run -valid on the compiled exe to capture this kind of issues

but other than that, great job!

Major comment about the softlist: the roms have the same sha-1 but different crc32 hashes compared to the roms from the link. The only one that has the right crc32 is "demo". What did you use to calculate the crc32 hashes?

Here's a fixed version .

I used the NetBSD's cksum command.

isn't there also a crc32 command? that would give you the correct CRC32 (not sure which algorithm cksum uses, but I can confirm it gives the wrong results )

I use unzip -lv a lot

Well, the manpage claims it's "Default CRC algorithm"... Different polynomial, maybe?
