Hello again r/EmuDev! For a while I’ve been developing a 16-bit fantasy console that’s very close to a real emulator in C#, and after a ton of work v0.2 is finally here with some major changes to graphics and the native Assembly language.

Some of v0.2's features include:

* 4(!) times more OAM space for bigger sprite capacity
* 16-bit sprite coordinates and a fully manipulable camera/viewport
* Alternative color palette support
* Full bank switching in the assembler and emulator, letting ROMs grow much larger
* Doubled work RAM for more complex programs
* Sequencer improvements like cursor manipulation and tempo controls
* Instrument table moved to its own memory bank, freeing 512 bytes on the main bank for save RAM
* First-class function pointers in Sharpie assembly
* BIOS calls available to all cartridges at runtime for array access, frame delays, and more

It’s still in its early days, but I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. In the next version, I am planning to introduce C -> Sharpie Assembly compilation and PPU microprograms, so stick around. Contributions are also welcome if you find something you'd like to work on!

Sharpie, the C# Fantasy Console Disguised as an Emulator - v0.2 release!
