 # 8-Bit CPU Emulator
 
-## CPU Architecture
+This project is an educational 8-bit CPU emulator written in Rust, it's build to understand core computer architecture concepts such as instruction sets, flags,
-- Word Size
+control flow, stacks and system calls.
-    - **Data Width:** 8 bits
+
-    - **Address width:** 16 bits
+This project is **not** a production CPU and **not** accurate. It is designed purely for learning and experimentation.
-    - **Address space:** 64 KB (0x0000-0xFFFF)
+
+-----
+
+## Features
+
+- Custom 8-bit ISA (control-flow and arithmetic operations)
+- 4 general-purpose registers
+- 64 KB (0x0000-0xFFFF) byte-addressable memory
+- Two-pass assembler with label support
+- Stack-based function calls
+-  Stack is software-managed and grows downward

+## Registers
+| Register | Size   | Description                    |
+| -------- | ------ | ------------------------------ |
+| A        | 8-bit  | General-purpose register                        |
+| B        | 8-bit  | General-purpose register                        |
+| C        | 8-bit  | General-purpose register                        |
+| D        | 8-bit  | General-purpose register                        |
+| PC       | 16-bit | Program Counter                |
+| SP       | 16-bit | Stack pointer                  |
+
+
+## Flags Register
+
+The CPU maintains a small flags register.
+
+| Flag  | Description  |
+| ----- | ------------ |
+| Z     | Zero flag - set if last result was `0`   |
+| C     | Carry/Borrow flag |
+
+- Control-flow instructions do **not** modify flags.

 ## Syscalls
+
 | Imm | Meaning |
 | --- | ------- |
 | 0   | Exit Program |
 | 1   | Print register A as integer |
 | 2   | Print register A as ASCII char |
 
+- Syscalls also do not modify flags

+## Example assembly program
+
+```assembly
+mov b, 3
+mov a, 1
+
+loop:
+    sub b, a
+    jnz loop
+
+sys 1   ; print register A
+sys 0   ; exit
