What sort of graphics/audio interface do you expose to the program?

(The project is very cool! The instruction set reminds me a bit of the MIPS subset usually implemented in uni courses.)

Oh, and I forgot to answer your question.

I haven't decided on audio. It might be a set of sys calls that manipulate oscillators. The graphics interface is quite literally just manipulating the program memory. You can see the registers in the lower left corner of the video I linked.

Yeah, I used my limited knowledge of x86 and some research into other ISA's (such as MIPS) to give me some ideas.
