The developer is more interested by machine/model1.c than vidhrdw/model1.c at that point. He welcomes patches though.
Some background questions:a) How was vidhrdw/model1.c written? Was it more or less translated (by hand) from the original V60 assembler, or...?
b) How is the process of discovery done with machine/model1.c? By looking at assembler code, or by observing the game?
c) Is there any place where model1 operations/development is documented? Can we set up some sort of page where this is outlined, so it's clearer and bugs/features/optimizations can be taken care of quicker? I know some people might find writing documentation pretty boring, but I think it pays off in the end.
d) Maybe I didn't search hard enough, but is there any decent document regarding the V60 instruction set + peculiarities? I know that there is a list of opcodes in cpu/v60/optable.c, but I was hoping for some documentation about the instructions themselves that would outline their various nuances, as well as overall processor technical information.
e) Is there a disassembler for V60 assembler code? I didn't see one in cpu/v60. Perhaps there's a third party one?
