Z80 Simulator IDE is powerful application that supplies Z80 educators and developers with user-friendly graphical development environment for Windows with integrated simulator (emulator), BASIC compiler, assembler, disassembler and debugger for Zilog Z80 8-bit microprocessor.

Z80 Simulator IDE is an automation (ActiveX) server/client application. This feature enables communication with external simulation modules that can be developed by home developers and third parties using various Development Systems for Windows. The list of available simulation modules will be constantly increasing and all Z80 Simulator IDE users are invited to make their contributions.

The 8086 is a 16-bit microprocessor chip designed by Intel long long ago, which gave rise to the x86 architecture. Emu8086 is a Microprocessor Emulator with an integrated 8086 assembler. Emulator runs programs on a virtual machine, It emulates real hardware such as screen, memory and input/output devices. It's the ideal tool to study computer architecture in an interactive way.

The source code is assembled and then executed by the emulator in step by step mode. You can investigate registers, flags and memory while your program is running. Emu8086 combines an advanced source colour code editor with syntax-highlight and built-in disassembler.

It's possible to load any executable (*.exe, *.com, *.bin) and use Emu8086 for reverse engineering.

Emulator runs programs in simulated environment, it completely blocks your program from accessing real hardware such as hard-drives and memory because your assembly code runs on a virtual machine, this completely blocks your computer system from crashing down even if you code something completely wrong.

Visualised ALU (Arithmetic & Logical Unit) shows the internal work of the CPU (Central Processing Unit) and flags. You can force the emulator to keep the log similar to Microsoft's DOS debug program.

Emu8086 includes a few virtual devices to play and experiment with. These devices include a LCD display, simple traffic lights system, a robot which moves around and turns the laps on and off, a stepper motor and printer simulator. You can even design your own virtual devices to practice device controlling.

Stack and memory values can be edited by just double clicking on them. Screen can be used to output data. Color display mode is supported. Complex expression evaluator (available from "Math" menu) can be used to make mathematical and logical operations with hexadecimal, octal, binary and decimal values.

Emu8086 works under all 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows; it wasn't officially tested with other operating systems, but is reported to work fine.

• We've just added VGA graphics support (mode 13h - 320x200, 256 colors, INT 10h) and emulator is undergoing heavy beta testing. Your feedback is welcome!
• Source code of the emulator is available on request.
