6502 SIMULATOR IDE
(with 6502 basic compiler)

HOMEPAGE

6502 Simulator IDE is a powerful application designed to provide 6502 microprocessor users and educators, Commodore 64 (C64) fans and retrocomputing enthusiasts with a software to fall in love with - user-friendly graphical development environment for Windows with integrated simulator (emulator), 6502 basic compiler, assembler, disassembler and debugger for the MOS Technology 6502 8-bit microprocessor (wiki), with a special mode to support WDC 65C02 (W65C02S) (wiki) that is currently in production. Special tools for the simulation of various basic interpreters are also available, including the very special tool - Commodore 64 ROM I/O Terminal designed to bring the famous welcome message '**** COMMODORE 64 BASIC V2 ****, 64K RAM SYSTEM, 38911 BASIC BYTES FREE, READY.' back to life, all that clearly simulating instruction by instruction the code of the C64 ROM.

You are welcome to download the fully functional evaluation copy of the software on the downloads page. 6502 Simulator IDE requires a license to operate after the evaluation period. For more information please visit the licenses page.

Please pay attention to the Getting Started presentation to be able to easily reproduce these screenshots on your computer.

6502 Simulator IDE main features:
- Simulation interface showing internal processor architecture with interrupts interface,
- Support for the unofficial instructions,
- Variable simulation rate, simulation statistics and simulation logging with log viewer,
- Fast debugger - breakpoints manager for code debugging with breakpoints support,
- Three memory editors for external 64K memory, to simultaneously view/edit three different memory ranges during the simulation, read/write access tracking feature,
- Video memory screen with edit feature,
