MOS 6502 family
We have photographs of the metal and lower layers, the polygons captured, the circuit extracted and we have published a javascript simulator. There is an FPGA project to implement the simulation in hardware. We have (as yet) unpublished simulators in python and C.
Our Analysis
- Collected observations of 6502 layout and behaviour.
- Decode ROM (describing the Atari 6507, not exactly the same as the NMOS 6502 used in the visual6502 simulator
- all 256 6502 opcodes including illegals and their actions
- Comparative photos of the Stack Register in 6502 and 6507
