It is, we believe, the smallest of 1.6 +its kind (the fully-commented source is under 25K). Despite its size, 1.7 +8086tiny provides a highly accurate 8086 CPU emulation, together with 1.8 +support for PC peripherals including XT-style keyboard, floppy/hard disk, 1.9 +clock, audio, and Hercules/CGA graphics. 8086tiny is powerful enough to 1.10 +run software like AutoCAD, Windows 3.0, and legacy PC games: the 8086tiny 1.11 +distribution includes Alley Cat, the author's favorite PC game of all time. 1.12 + 1.13 +8086tiny is highly portable and runs on practically any little endian machine, 1.14 +from simple 32-bit MCUs upwards. 8086tiny has successfully been deployed on 1.15 +32-bit/64-bit Intel machines (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux), Nexus 4/ARM 1.16 +(Android), iPad 3 and iPhone 5S (iOS), and Raspberry Pi (Linux). 1.17 + 1.18 +The philosophy of 8086tiny is to keep the code base as small as possible, and 1.19 +through the open source license encourage individual developers to tune and 1.20 +extend it as per their specific requirements, adding support, for example, for 1.21 +more complex instruction sets (e.g. Pentium) or peripherals (e.g. mouse). 1.22 +Forking this repository is highly encouraged! 1.23 + 1.24 +Any questions, comments or suggestions are very welcome in our 1.25 +forum at 8086tiny.freeforums.net. 1.26 \ No newline at end of file
