c6502 | 6502 CPU Emulator

This is a simple emulator for the 6502 CPU written in C. The emulator allows you to run programs written for the 6502 architecture on modern systems.

Features

• Accurate emulation of the 6502 CPU, including all official instructions and addressing modes.
• Support for common hardware devices such as RAM and ROM.
• Ability to load and execute binary programs written for the 6502.

Requirements

To build and run the emulator, you'll need the following:

• CMake (version 3.22.1 or higher)
• A C compiler compatible with the C99 standard.
• A Linux System.
• Basic knowledge of the C programming language.

Building the Emulator

To build the emulator using CMake, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository or download the source code.
2. Navigate to the project directory.
3. Open a terminal or command prompt in the project directory.
4. Create a build directory: mkdir build
5. Build the project cmake -B ./build -S ./
6. Go to build directory: make all

This will generate the executable file for the emulator.

Usage

To use the emulator, execute the generated binary from the command line. The following options are available:

• ./c6502 <filename>: Load a binary program into memory.
