How do interrupts work on the Intel 8080? I have searched Google and in Intel’s official documentation (197X), and I’ve found only a little description about this. I need a detailed explanation about it, to emulate this CPU.

I finally found it!
I created a variable called
buswhere the interrupt opcode goes.Then, I called a function to handle the interrupt:
INT is true when an interrupt needs to be handled.
EI and DI are instructions that enable/disable INTE.
When INT and INTE are true, the interrupt is executed.
