Katherine’s Status Report for 2/22/25

Accomplished:

  • All memory Instructions implemented.
  • Started writing test benches for arithmetic and control flow instructions.
  • Wrote the first draft of CPU parts of the design report.
  • Looked into some other options for the NES USB controller.
  • Learned what the DAA instruction does (binary coded decimal addition)
Next Step:
  • By the end of spring break, I hope to have a fully implemented CPU that passes all hand-made tests.
Other Notes or Concerns:
  • Progress is ahead of schedule.
  • The Altari controller can be connected directly to GPIO pins. With some modifications it might be a possible substitute for the USB NES controller.
