A new cycle-stepped 6502 CPU emulator
Retro emulators seem to be increasing in popularity lately. I&#x27;ve seen a few articles now covering the &quot;how&quot;, but does anyone have pointers to something explaining the &quot;why&quot;?<p>Is it a Zachtronics-style technical challenge?

Something else?<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ptrthomas.files.wordpress.com&#x2F;2006&#x2F;06&#x2F;jtrac-callstack1.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ptrthomas.files.wordpress.com&#x2F;2006&#x2F;06&#x2F;jtrac-callstac...</a>
