Thanks for confirming - actually I had a look at it already too. It looks promising. Especially that 5V/TTL compatibility is already built-in. That would mean Xilinx then. How about the software for it? Is it palatable? What do you use?

Huh, you made me googling around this and discovering that you were involved in converting the

http://www.visual6502.org/

into Verilog?! Wow.. I guess that should be the ultimate solution in terms of compatibility, which is on top of my priorities list. But I read on

http://visual6502.org/wiki/index.php?title=6502_-_simulating_in_real_time_on_an_FPGA

that it still fails on 16 unsupported opcodes. How is that if this is such a low level simulation? I know there were different 6502 implementations but shouldn't this one work exactly as the cpu variant it was based on?
