Is it possible to add a new CPU option for the XT-class machines: NEC V-20 ?
It was a popular upgrade for the IBM PC and clones since it was ~20% faster.
Moreover NEC V20 supported some additional commands like REP INS e.t.c.

[Feature request] NEC V20 support for XT machines
Re: [Feature request] NEC V20 support for XT machines
That would be great! And if it's fully emulated I would be eager to try the 8080 emulation mode

The 8080 emulation mode is largely why I've avoided the V20 so far.

I always thught it is very close to he x86 architecture...SarahWalker wrote:The 8080 emulation mode is largely why I've avoided the V20 so far.

JFYI, "fake86" emulator pretend to be a V20 emulator (as defined in cpu.c). But MSD (Microsoft Dosgnostic) determines its CPU as 80186.

It works for me. I need some 186+/V20 instruction (like PUSHA/POPA ans REP INS/OUTS) in the XT environment to test my specific software.
Full v20/8080 emulation may be difficult and requires special support software
