Yes, you can almost do that. You have to cope separately with branches and other operations which disturb the progression of the program counter. I think at least one of the Apple monitors did exactly that.
Edit: no, it didn't quite do that. It copied the instruction-to-be-executed into RAM and ran ...

Reminds me a lot of the TRS-80 Model 100

Interesting trajectory - thanks for the story. We often lament that today's apps and tablets are too much a sealed unit for anyone to learn how things work. Getting started with game cheats and the like shows that there are still cracks in the armour for the interested person to get inside and see ...

I started using computers when I was 4 in 1999; I had learned to speak in the same year. Still in 99', my first computer was something like a Compaq Presario (Windows 3.1). I had fun by just clicking things on the window manager, however I soon graduated to playing video games like Doom I/II and GTA ...

First off, welcome to our 6502 world.
Thank ya'.

GCC is not tied to any one operating system. In theory, GCC can be built on any machine that has an ANSI C compiler and suitable I/O libraries.
The way he said it made it sound like if you had Unix on a 65xx you would have to port gcc.

Give it ...

Interesting that the BRK instruction increments PC by 2. I was wondering why PC was never at the BRK point itself! This will help me a decent amount. Would you happen to know why the BRK instruction increments PC?

It seems like BRK is half of what I want (convenience-wise), but it will do. I was ...

And yet despite running at 500MHz+ as you say, some applications are still slow, dreadful programs. It seems these days that the solution isn't to create better code, it's to get a better computer. What a crock. And people wonder why their OSes are bloated.

I probably wouldn't go as so far ...

Hello everyone,

edit; perhaps this should be in the programming section. I saw 'newbies' and I figured that it would be best here for some reason.

I've been delving into the realm of 6502 assembly recently, and my code has gotten so large that it's becoming rather difficult to debug. I have coded ...
