Visual Transistor-level Simulation of the 6502 CPU
Welcome to Visual6502.org! Here we'll slowly but surely present our small team's effort to preserve, study, and document historic computers. We aim to present our work in a visual, intuitive manner for education and inspiration, and to serve as a solid verifiable reference for classic computer systems.
These components form circuits in a few simple ways according to how they contact each other, so by intersecting our polygons, we were able to create a complete digital model and transistor-level simulation of the chip. We hope you enjoy our little slices of computer archaeology and history, and please keep an eye out for historic equipment we might like to model - especially broken or non-functional chips and boards since these are perfect for our approach. In this time, we've served over 2 TB of die shot and simulation data, and thanks to a growing circle of dedicated, enthusiastic folks, we're taking on a wide range of projects.
