I got curious recently about the W65C134 but can't find anywhere to buy the QFP version. The Contact Us form at https://wdc65xx.com/ seems to be broken and the "Where To Buy" page hasn't been updated in 2 years. Any recommendations?

Wow, what a great project! I loved reading about what was hard and how you didn't give up. I built a 6502 emulator in MIPS assembly for the PIC32 and figured out a few things that might be useful:

- It may be faster to skip setting the flags for each instruction and instead save the values that ...

Hehe, could be, Dr Jefyll! I was thinking more like the movie Inception or The Matrix if the humans in the matrix had invented machines again and the machines made a matrix in that matrix.

Just for fun, I made a blinky robot with a PIC32 emulating a 6502. Pictures and description on my blog .

The PIC32 is running a 65C02 emulator I wrote in MIPS assembly. Partly to test the emulator, I got Tali Forth 2 running on it and now use QEMU for MIPS so I can have Tali ...

After I got familiar with PIC16 for that first project in 1996 which used a PIC16F84 for work, Microchip has added workarounds for persistent problems, so now there's the PIC16F1 line, the PIC18, and PIC24, in order of increasing power. (PIC17 has been dropped.) They're still kluges though. (PIC32 ...

I know this is an old thread, but I found the answer and ran across this thread while looking for it. This blog post explains it more or less, though the filename in the post is slightly wrong: Compiling AS MacroAssembler on Linux . This worked for me yesterday on Ubuntu 22.04:

wget http://john ...

TL;DR - Interactive 6502 assembler/simulator with syntax highlighting in your browser. Assembles and simulates as you type, kind of like godbolt/Compiler Explorer. Link here

A few months ago, while working on a 6502 emulation project, I kept having to look up little details like which addressing ...

CA65, as everyone has mentioned here, is a very good option. You may want to try Macroassembler AS as well to see what you think. I switched after getting frustrated with a couple of the macro features in CA65. It meets all of your requirements except being native to Linux. It runs fine for me on ...

What happens when main returns? Just to be sure nothing weird is happening after that, you could try putting while(1); before return (0);. Also, no need to put parentheses around the value in a return statement.

Thanks for the updates! Having the sources to build things ourselves is a neat idea, though I do prefer the .deb files you've been offering.

If a 3D printer is an option, I can recommend the Ender 3. It's less than $200 and mine has worked flawlessly out of the box from the first print 2+years ago up until today without having to tweak or tune anything. Making a little box only takes a few lines in OpenSCAD.

Gordon's suggestion about ...

Ok, it should be updated now. I had uploaded the updated version to the wrong place on the website...

Thanks everyone for the help.

It's still a bit wonky for me. I even tried changing the font to courrier-10 and telling my browser (firefox) to use my fonts all the time. I tried with chrome too. Same. Example here: Thanks, Gordon. Strange. The font in your screenshot is not a monospace font, although Courier and Courier New ...

Below is what I see accessing the website from Windows. The problem is that I use the font Lucida Console all over the site which has been my goto fixed width font since the earlier 2000s. Apparently, it was designed for situations exactly like this where you need to cram a lot of text into a small ...

i tried using extern like this: extern uint8_t TEST_SYM = 0x69; Extern doesn't declare a variable that is visible externally. Instead, it tells the linker that the variable is declared externally elsewhere (without extern). For example, you can declare a global variable in one file then access it ...
