A go-based emulator and debugger for the 6502-based pda6502 homebrew computer.
I've been designing and building a 6502-based homebrew computer.
It's powered by an 8-bit 6502 (WDC 65C02), varitions of which powered the venerable Commodore 64, Apple II, Vic 20, Nintendo and lots more.
74HC-series logic chips map the 64K address space to 32K RAM, 8K ROM, a VIA 6522 I/O controller, and room for expansion.
The first output device (beyond flashing LEDs) is a 128x32 pixel OLED, connected to one of the VIA 6522 parallel ports, with bit-banged serial comms.
go6502 emulates the 6502, address bus, RAM, ROM, 6522 and OLED display well enough to run the current pda6502 code and get the same display output.
It has a flexible address bus, which paves the way to emulating other 6502-based systems.
go6502 features a stepping debugger with breakpoints on instruction type, register values and memory location. This makes it far easier to get code working correctly before writing it to an actual EEPROM.
Get and run go6502:
- Drop an 8 KB
kernal.rominto$PWD/rom/, where ever that may be.- (pda6502 can help; see
memory.confandMakefile)
- (pda6502 can help; see

Various invocations from my shell history; some run from this project, some from pda6502.
