i'm curious about asm tutorial for these z80 machines:
- nec pc88
-sharp x1
- nec pc6001
- casio pv1000
- bandai rx78
- sharp mz700
- mattel aquarius
i don't know if sord-m5 and casio pv2000 are relevant for their similarities to msx1
thanks!

Re: nec pc88 and nec pc6001
I don't know if this request is aimed at me, or just a call out into the ether,
but if it's aimed at me, then in the past when I covered a new system it took a minimum of two months work in research.
I'm no longer looking for more systems to cover, as I'm already over my limit work and stress wise, covering more and more systems for no personal benefit is not fun for me any more.
For that reason it's only something I will consider from my $10+ patreons.

If you back me for $10, you could pick one of these systems, which I would research and make a best effort attempt to cover (provided emulators and sufficient documentation actually exists for me to do so).

Hello, NitroFurano san.
From your list , Except mattel aquarius , other PCs looks designed in Japan . If you can read Japanese I recommend you to study about Z80 CPU itself in here , and self learn about these computer.
Especially saying about the PC in your list , my recommendation is PC-8801 mk2 SR by NEC. This PC has 640 by 200 dot screen and you can select 8 colours from 512 colours on the screen. Sound is ofcourse FM sound generator .
The technical documents about PC-8801 in Japanese are stored in 'archive.org' as follows . (one for exsample.)
If you search , there are more and more documents and Game images.
Saying about programming , there also a special assembler the Super BASE 80 (if you have huge lucky , you can find it also in 'archive.org' ) , it is a hidden treasure , top secret in Japanese old Z80 8bit PC .
Even though you can not find this treasure , you can use MACRO80 or other Z80 development tools.

Re: nec pc88 and nec pc6001
...slowly trying to dig up enough info on the 8801 in order to try to port a few of the ZX speccy 1-bit music engines over to run on one of the 88's emulators. Apparently the 6001 only has an AY chip (no good to me for true 1-bit music), whilst the 8801 has a beeper sitting on port $40.
All I need to find know is a standard loading header/file format. I note that Inufuto has made a number of his games in C for the 6001 and 8801; just need to make time to go digging on how and what the loading file format looks like, then can piece together the method of creating a working binary.
