Building a CPU - Following instructions

Well, my first run through on the simulator with memory and a few instructions worth of microcode and... well, hmmmm.

The instructions seem to work fine until the instruction terminates, and goes back to the fetch instruction, then things fall apart. For some reason, the program counter doesn't seem to be advancing right, or the flip-flops holding each 4-bit word don't seem to be getting the appropriate instruction at the appropriate time.

I'm going to need to do some more experimentation and thought on this one to figure out what went wrong. I have a feeling what I really need to do us use latches instead of flip-flops. More things to play around with. It may make sense to make the registers D-Latches as well, so data is written instantaneously, rather than on a clock tick. Another possibility is using more than one clock, possibly by using some sort of delay line or a secondary clock source.
