You missed his new series - building a 6502-based PC. Or well, a 65c02.

The little 6502 derivative in the circa 1985 Nintendo Entertainment

I did not miss anything. The 'computer' he built was all logic
gates, no cpu. But he has many other videos up. The guy makes them
very well. He and his co-producers.

I still cannot believe you guys do not know about MAME.

I have collected game roms for years and have every game rom for
upright video games you could name.

But recently, I noticed that they were also posting game console
roms and processor emulations. Then I sw calculators and then
computers!

A whole bucketload of computers from mainframes to minis etc.!

MAME, with all the roms, also has history sheets, pictures, PCB
pics, cabinet pics, etc.

And a lot of the stuff runs.

So there are litereally Gigs of data to DL to get it all, but then,
you can hunt up old PCs or old calculators or old home games.

Remember "Simon Says"? Emulated in MAME's catalog.

Remember PacMan? It is not 'similar code' it is 100% the exact
game ROMs being ran on a perfect Z80 emulation. They have had years
to debug everything, and each failed ROM meant more learning and
fixing.

Even games that had sound on cassette tapes, and even the laser
disc based games with over 500MB of disc data to add to the game ROMs
to play the game on your PC.

Command line executable from the main developer:
<https://www.mamedev.org/>


As for interfaces:
<http://www.mameui.info/>
The mameUI64 comes with the mame executable built in.

Needed snapshot files are many:

I detected an error in the CRC video. He referred to the length of
messages in bytes when he should have said bits. His example CRC16 could
detect certain types of errors on packets of up to 32k-ish bits or 4k
Bytes, not 32k Bytes.

(Overall the quality is excellent though.)

Yeah, you did :)

He has two "computers on a breadboard" projects.

1. The one you linked that takes some 12 or 15 breadboards, and he
builds a pretty simple 8-bit processor. This project is (as far as I
know) completed.

2. The one I linked wherein he's using a WDC clone / reproduction of a
MOS Technologies 6502 microprocessor. This project is as yet
incomplete.

Nope... I have not browsed his library of videos yet other than
those I see on the sidebar as I watch one.

Nothing missed. Other than 50 of the 60 years I have been here.

Hey I ran into Ben Eater in a quaternion video.

I haven't explored it yet. But I got there via 3blue1brown,
Grant Sanderson. (Who is great at teaching math stuff.)

3blue1brown makes beautiful proofs. I think one should watch his
"thinking visually about higher dimensions" before this stuff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwAD6dRSVyI

The realization that, in the case of 100 dimensions, the inner
hypersphere
would have a radius of 9, is amazing.

That one didn't come up in the suggested videos but I'll look for it.

Also 3blue1brown's explanation of fractals make the meaning of
fractional dimentions very clear.
