Assembler&Emulator 'Software-package' on OSX?

At university I now have to take courses learning assembler - as 'DEMO' assembler we use asm65 and target a 6502-chip based computer.

Our teacher recommended software for us to test and develop for the 6502 at home...
unfortunately he only knows software for windows.

Now: How can I use OSX for that? I'd need an asm65, an emu/debugger
I googled but there are too many results for a newbie like me ;) I cant deduce what I really need!

Thanks in advance,
Dominik

Hi,

you can use the 6502 Assembler that comes with the CC65 Compiler. There should be MacOS X binaries on the page
http://www.cc65.org/

CC65 package also includes a simple 6502 Emulator.

More Simulators (also for Mac) can be found in the "tool" section of this webpage --> http://www.6502.org/crossdev/emu/

Best regards

Thre is no problem running Classic MacOS Programs in MacOS X. I use Sim65 all the time on my MacOS X system.

Best regards

I know it is possible to run MOST classic apps in OSX - but I dont have a system folder installed and I dont want to :D
That's like using VirtualPC! (I could do that just as well ... probably)

Anyways, thanks!
