Emulator? #6

There doesn't seem to be any documentation about the emulator and at first I didn't realize it was emulating the CPU and executing code from a ROM image.

The curses emulator appears to have a different CPU emulation from the Qt emulator. What's the reason behind them having different CPU emulations? Should we unify the CPU emulation between the two emulators?

FYI, MAME has a working VT100 simulation, and there's also @jeffpar's JavaScript version.

Not leaving well enough alone, I'm making one of myself in plain C and SDL2. I intend to run it on Raspberry Pi inside @kidmirage's excellent 2:3 scale 3D printed model. I think it's time to raise the bar for terminal emulators.
