EmuDevz

EmuDevz is a game about building an emulator. In the year 32767, a massive cyber attack has destroyed the Internet. You and an online friend study the few remaining documents about the NEEES, a game console released in 1983, and use your programming skills to build an emulator that runs its old games and helps preserve video game history.

Build an emulator

The game includes a guide to NEEES emulation from scratch in JavaScript and an interactive tutorial on 6502 Assembly. You can implement the CPU, PPU and APU in any order. Unit tests, video tests and audio tests are provided, and playing homebrew games unlocks ROMs.

Tools and reference

You work in a Unix-style shell and code editor, with a debugger that includes a Memory Viewer, Disassembly, Name tables, CHR, Sprites, Palettes, APU Channels, Controllers and Emulator Logging. Documentation and an in-game dictionary are also included.

Free mode

Free mode lets you use the IDE to develop emulators for other systems. The game also includes an original retro-synthwave soundtrack.
