Introduction

Hello, my name is David, aka DGM.
I like old 8-bit/16-bit video-games, like NES, Sega Master System, Mega-Drive and so on. So I decided to start making my own. I will call it Jaguar. Hey, I just like this name, and it has nothing to do with Atari Jaguar.

Jaguar will be a virtual hardware of a gaming console, consisting on an 8-bit microprocessor with a very reduced instruction set, video, sound and input controllers.

I am planning all this stuff based on my studies around other vintage old video-games, like NES and Mega-Drive. But it is a totally "new thing". Neither I have the pretension of making it like would do a hardware engineer, nor I could. I'm just trying to do it just as "real" as possible.
