#2How is "sjamplus" a better compiler than sdcc? I haven't found the source link yet (or even figured out what language it compiles.)
Re: Z80 Development Toolchain
#3I just recently grabbed a Z81 and Timex 1000 from eBay.Always wanted to own and write some games on it. My current setup more complex. I grew up learning to code on C64 good times.
Re: Z80 Development Toolchain
#4I last developed on Z80 in like 1980, then later that decade the Zilog Z8002 on the F16. Amazing anyone cares about these any more.

Have you considered targeting the GameBoy?

It is "sjasmplus" not "sjamplus". It is a Z80 assembler and can be found at https://github.com/z00m128/sjasmplus

The TI 73 through 86 models of graphing calculator all use z80 CPUs, and the 83+ was probably the dominant school calculator well into the 2000s. That was my introduction to the CPU (hobbyist programming, e.g. through websites like ticalc.org).

Some of my fondness memories are typing in programs from 101 Basic Computer games on a ZX81. That and Beagle Bros ads and their mysterious peeks and pokes.
My dad and I built our computer from a kit ... which of course failed. Turns out 1/3rd of them did so and we received a prebuilt one.

The GBZ80 is much more restrictive, right? I think it's missing the IX and IY registers, as well as the alternate register bank.

There's also the Gameboy, which still has an active homebrew scene
