As we know, there have been a ton of NES emulator implementations in various
kinds of languages (mostly C). All of these emulators come with different
accuracy and portability. RuNES is an attempt to build a reasonably
accurate (cycle-level accurate), light-weight and efficient emulation
core library using Rust. Unlike sprocketnes_ or pinky_, RuNES strives to
provide with a clean and minimal core library without standard library (i.e.,
without Box, Rc, Vectors, etc.) that could be compiled and easily ported to
embedded environments. Of course, a minimal SDL-based GUI is also provided as a
demonstration of use.
Feature
=======
- Core library with minimal use of the Rust core crate, and zero use of std.
- Support standard 6502 instruction set (unofficial instruction will be
considered in the future).
- Cycle-level accuracy.
Guidelines
==========
- Never use std in the core library.
- At the same time, avoid ``unsafe`` as much as possible, but use it at
discretion to improve performance: remove unnecessary checks within a very
localized context.
- Keep the core library code base minimal.
