• Writing a 6502 emulator in Python

  Here’s a working one already https://github.com/mnaberez/py65

• Some helpful 65816 programming tools
  4 projects | /r/beneater | 15 Feb 2022

  I use the cc65 toolset to program my 65c02 projects and the py65 emulator to help debug them. I use a slightly modified version of da65, the cc65 disassembler, to create a complete listing of my code, something I find very useful for multi-file projects.

• Simulating the 65C816 in py65
  5 projects | /r/beneater | 11 Jan 2022

  I've recommended py65, by Mike Naberezny, for 6502 development and have created several enhancements to it for my own builds (interrupt handling and debug window). Unfortunately, py65 doesn't support the 65C816. Luckily, it's open source and easy to modify, so I thought I'd try adding support for the 65C816.

• Adding a separate debug window to the py65 6502 emulator
  5 projects | /r/beneater | 2 Jan 2022

  I didn't understand Python enough at the time. I could probably figure it out now that I know more, but those commands aren't really useful to me for how I use the monitor. I added the continue command which does what I wanted. Interestingly, someone requested that a continue command be added to py65 back in 2019.

• Handling 6502 interrupts in py65
  2 projects | /r/beneater | 24 Dec 2021

  Py65, by Mike Naberezny, is a great simulator for the 6502. I recommend checking it out, especially as your 6502 build and code get more advanced. Py65 doesn't handle interrupts though, so if your build uses them, you either need to create a version of your code to simulate or modify py65 to handle your hardware binary. The former is the best option for most people, but the latter might be attractive to folks who don't want to deal with two versions of their code.

• Ok, this is a better video than my post yesterday... Improved VGA circuit for my 6502 [currently prototyping] (and with added mouse support 😃)
  1 project | /r/beneater | 16 Dec 2021

  Thanks for all of the info. It looks very interesting. I'll have to resist getting sidetracked. Not easy to do. I'm currently on another sidetrack adding interrupt capability to the py65 simulator. Not really needed, but it means I don't need to maintain a separate code base for the simulator. It has the added benefit of letting me work with Python.

• 6502 development 'philosophy??

  I recommend cc65 as well and might as well mention the py65 emulator. Both are great tools that have aided my development.

• Playing Cosmic Conquest, a old-style real-time strategy game, on my breadboard 6502
  5 projects | /r/beneater | 16 Nov 2021

  Luckily there is a nice 6502 emulator, py65, that makes development easier. Without that I don't think I would have every attempted this. Once I got it running on the emulator it was fairly straight forward getting it to run on the breadboard 6502. Working on the actual hardware did provide some unique challenges though.

• Enhanced version of Cosmic Conquest (a Forth based game from 1982)
  4 projects | /r/Forth | 4 Nov 2021

  Thanks. I've been using py65 for my development.

• An attempt at resurrecting Cosmic Conquest (1982). PRs welcome. I expect a challenge on this one.
  5 projects | /r/Forth | 22 Oct 2021

  I'll probably be working to get a version of this running in my ANSIish Forth in py65, a simulation of the 6502 in python. Py65 runs fine with terminal escape codes running in a compatible terminal program. I've tried it with Conway's Game of Life which works similarly.
