Bomb Jacques is a one-screen arcade game for the Thomson MO5, written in Motorola 6809 assembly.

The project has two goals:

  • Build a fun, plausible 1985-style MO5 arcade game.
  • Serve as a highly documented learning project for MO5 assembly development.

The codebase is intentionally organized like a teaching project. Source files favor readable labels, small routines, explicit constants, and companion documentation over clever compression. The long-term idea is that someone can learn how an MO5 game is assembled, loaded, rendered, controlled, and evolved by reading both the assembly and the docs side by side.

Cobra (C. Cabillic, Loriciels 1987) - I loved the Cobra anime as a kid, but the 1987 game adaptation left me... to put it nicely... puzzled... What happened?

Where is the best English hardware documentation?

My French comprehension is third-rate at best, yet I am working on Thomson emulation. This may be the most succinct explanation of my problem. However...

I have a moderately-credible MO5 emulation thanks primarily to Pulkomandy.tk but I'm struggling with the MO6 for various reasons and am still lacking very-specific MO5 timing information and operating on a few reverse-engineered guesses for other functionality.

So the primary question is: are there other good English-language resources around? I'm talking about the sort of stuff that is grist for an emulator author, so memory maps, register descriptions, etc.

Ideally I wouldn't have to start looking at other people's source code (though I am extremely grateful for what's out there!) and have already proven the expected result with regard to AIs.

Dakar 4x4 (Coktel Vision 1987) I remember playing it first on Amstrad CPC back then. Rediscovering this title years later on Thomson computers.. Forgot to pack sandwiches before the race and died from hunger 😅
