-f65 - "fake 6502" porting layer
-
-This is a set of C macros that implements most of the 6502 assembly
-language instructions, plus a perl script to convert 6502 assembly
-source to C code that calls the macros. You can use it to assist in
-porting 6502 assembly routines to C, using either the original asm
-source, or a disassembly created with da65.
-
-What's implemented: 64K of memory. The A/X/Y/S registers. The carry,
-zero, and negative flags. Most arithmetic and logic instructions. The
-stack. Conditional branches and absolute jumps are implemented as C
-goto's. JSR is implemented as a real C function call, and RTS is a
-real C return. Labels in the assembly source become C labels (aka goto
-targets). Equates in the asm source become C variables.
-
-What's not implemented: The D flag, and decimal mode in general. The
-V flag, and branches based on it. The I and B flags. Interrupts
-and the RTI instruction. The Program Counter (though branches, JMP,
-JSR, and RTS are implemented without it). ROM routines (including
-I/O). Indirect JMP. The "CPU bug" that causes e.g. 'LDA ($FF),y' to
-take its high byte from $00 rather than $100. (zeropage, x) addressing
-mode.
-
-I wrote this specifically to port the decompression algorithm from
-UnAlf 1.4. Instructions not used by UnAlf probably aren't implemented,
-or if they are, they're untested.
-
-The perl script doesn't magically convert a whole 6502 program to C
-source. You'll have to figure out which parts of the 6502 program are
-subroutines, and put them in their own C functions. Any data (.byte,
-.word, etc) won't be in the C program. Anything that does I/O must be
-rewritten in C.
