Re: Asimov's Pi question - a challenge

Here is another attempt. Runs in about 11820 megacycles.
Developed in FORTH on a 65816 in native mode. The calculation routines are 8-bit internally to simulate a 6502.

Very nice. But not quite 6502 from 1977. Looks more like 65c02 with PLX etc. I'm sure it could easily be fixed up for 1977 and I ...

Re: What's your preferred development environment in 2019?

Visual Studio Code (VSC) for me too. And I use GIT for source control. VSC has good support for GIT and you can install GITLens for even better support.

And I use keyboard shortcuts for common operations. VSC has a command line as well which is useful. Just hit F1 and it brings up a command line ...

Re: Lee Davison quietly passed away last year

Pardon for bringing up this old thread but I wanted to pay my respects. Lee was always very generous, knowledgeable and encouraging in our emails and I very much improved myself from his sharing with some random netizen. It's sad that he's gone so young. Thanks Lee.

Re: major speedup with 65C02 I/O mapped into zero-page

I like your thinking. I also like the idea of having multiple zp banks with some of them I/O and RAM. When you talk about the vintage 6502 designs it came to mind that the C64 6510 had a couple of I/O registers at $00 and $01. Another more striking example is the Atari 2600 which mapped all of it's ...

Re: Is this an overflow condition?

And if you haven't seen it, this was recently posted.

Note that the javascript 6502 emulator you referenced has bugs, I have examined the code and it needs to be corrected.

Ken Shirrif's blog notes that for code, you can use ...

Re: Introduce yourself

Hello,
..am downright shocked at how much I still remember, and even more so that I forgot how much fun assembler is.


Hi! and welcome.

When I returned, for fun, to 6502 programming I was also shocked that the 6502 opcodes and programming had been burned to my 'ROM' apparently. I could still ...

This is kind of a re-introduction since I was on the forums before and posted a little bit a few years ago but I now I'm back.

printf and console

Check out the liba.65s example for input/output to the In/Out window. I agree that it's not the best and if it had better I/O and graphics output that would be a lot of fun.

This is a simulator for your PC. You can write small code, it will assemble and you can step through the results.
