Good morning folks! I’m just getting started on my journey into this hobby. My original plan was just to make NES games. Because I wanted the challenge of the limitations. But I’ve decided that since theyre artificial limitations anyway (I could just make games in any modern way) why not do my own thing! Right now my plan is to use a saa1099 for sound. But I have a few questions about video for example. Like, what are some methods of producing images with a 6502?

Welcome! There are so many ways. I suggest searching the forum with a few choice keywords (video, vga, sprites, tiles, framebuffer) and seeing what you can find. Only you can know the sorts of things which appeal to you.

You could have a look at Troy's work here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8097

(not mine, which is text based at present).

George Foot (a regular here on the forums) has some nice YouTube videos on his trials and tribulations with doing some VGA from scratch with his 6502.

If you take a look at my GameTank project I've got color composite video output at 128x128.

I also had made a series of posts on this forum getting the video section to work on a breadboard

Is it possible for someone to emulate a computer they’ve built? I need space for a workshop, but I want to get started with writing more assembly. Is it worth it to just wait until I get supplies? or is it possible to build the computer on… the computer?

Maybe you missed the previous post about GameTank, which is an example of exactly what you're asking about.
