Exactly. The assembly code is Borland specific inline assembly code.
And not a macro in sight. I spent a couple of days looking at his CPU.
There's maybe 20K lines of code, apparently hand written. Amazing
stuff. Maybe he generated it somehow, but that's a lot of assembly code
to port by hand. I think even Brad uses some macros in his C++ cpu.
It's definitely an easier way to go.
But I couldn't understand a lick of his TIA engine... Too hard for me.
