This week, I focused on the implementation and validation of the APU. I completed a substantial portion of the APU design and successfully passed approximately half of the functional tests, indicating correct behavior for several audio components.
In parallel, I worked on system integration and demonstration. I successfully deployed the current CPU and PPU implementation onto the FPGA platform, achieving real-time execution of Donkey Kong, with the game rendering correctly on screen.
Next week, I will continue refining and completing the APU implementation, with a focus on passing the remaining test cases and ensuring timing accuracy. I will also begin implementing the memory mapper to support more advanced cartridge functionality and improve overall system compatibility.
