This application simulates a very simple microcomputer based on the 4917 pro­ces­sor (a hypo­the­ti­cal device desi­gned just for a com­pu­ter course at the Uni­ver­sity of New South Wales, Australia) which was used to teach micropro­ces­sor basics. It is 4bit, has 2 internal general-purpose regis­ters and works with 16 memory loca­ti­ons. Each memory loca­tion can store a num­ber bet­ween 0 and 15, and there are 16 instructions. Write your own programs using hexadecimal notation, load them into memory, run and debug them just like programmers of 1950s!

Author of the application is Michael Balandin.

CPU 4917 is made in "smart BASIC" programming language and is published using smart BASIC SDK for Xcode.
