  • of816

    Portable 32-bit Forth for the 65C816.

  • There are several Forth versions for the 65816 that I've found online. Some are specialized to specific hardware but can be modified. Michael Guidero's OF816 is designed to be easily ported to new systems. I got it running on my 65816 emulator without much problem. It handles banked memory and uses a good subset of 65816 features.

  • py65816

    Emulate 65816-based microcomputer systems in Python

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • LiaraForth

    An "initial" ANSI(ish) Forth for the W65C265SXB SBC (65816 CPU)

  • Scot W. Stevenson's Liara Forth is designed to run on a W65C265SXB development board but could be modified to work on other hardware. I modified the binary file to run on my emulator for testing purposes. I believe it runs only in bank 0 and it doesn't particularly take advantage of many 65816 features.

  • w65c816sxb-forth

    A Direct Threaded Forth for the WDC W65C816SXB developer board

  • Andrew Jacobs has a direct threaded Forth for the W65C816SXB development board. I haven't tested that one so can't say anything about it.
