Year 2023

Here is a small summary of my projects of the year 2023.

During this year I worked on 3 projects:

• a Thomson MO5 Emulator

• NES emulator

• a rewrite of Another World (game by Eric Chahi)

Thomson MO5 Emulator

The Thomson MO5 was my first computer. It had a Motorola 6809E processor clocked at 1 MHz, so I could play with it a bit, but it also gave me an early start in programming. With a touch of nostalgia and thanks to the magnificent chips project, I’ve been able to create a MO5 emulator that can be used online here.

It allows me to play the various games I grew up playing.

NES Emulator

I’d always wanted to create an NES emulator, but I’d never taken the time to do it. That desire came back recently when I got my hands on the chips.

I had a lot of fun recreating this console and, above all, adding the tools that revolve around it: a color palette viewer, sprite viewer, memory viewer and so on.

Another World rewrite

In the same vein, I’ve written a program that lets you play Another World directly from your browser here. To play it, you’ll need to zip up the game Another World and drop it into your browser.

First of all, a word about Another World, the cult game created by Eric Chahi in 1991, an action/adventure game that made a big impression at the time thanks to its graphics and, above all, its animations and cinematic scenes.

As the game is really interesting to study, I wanted to include a debugger to help you better understand how it works.
