About:
YazeAg is a highly accurate Zilog Z80 microprocessor emulator designed for the x86 architecture. It provides cycle-accurate emulation of the Z80 CPU, making it suitable for running legacy software and operating systems like CP/M. Its main value proposition is its speed and precision for developers and hobbyists working with Z80-based systems.

Key Features:

Cycle-accurate Z80 CPU emulation
Optimized for x86 processors
Supports CP/M operating system
Command-line interface for scripting

Use Cases:

Running legacy CP/M software on modern hardware
Developing and testing Z80 assembly code
Digital preservation of 8-bit computer systems

Alternatives:

MAME – MAME is a multi-system emulator that includes Z80 support, but YazeAg is more specialized and lightweight for pure Z80 emulation.
z80ex – z80ex is a portable Z80 emulation library, whereas YazeAg is a complete, standalone emulator application.
