VirtualKim - 6502 Emulator

Most of the buttons like Files/Rest just don't work on iPad. Also, assembly source editor would definitely benefit from syntax highlighting.

Initially, I thought it was just a 6502 emulator running under an old KIM computer. Imagine my surprise when I find that not only does it support the KIM with video output, it also supports the Apple 1. I tried a few programs on it, and it really gives you a feel for the 70's computing scene. I'm going to see if I can use with our education offering at The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park. Other than that, absolutely excellent emulation of these old machines.

In the Age of Ancients the world was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of gray crags, Archtrees and Everlasting Dragons. But then there was Fire. And with fire came disparity. Heat and cold, life and death, and of course, light and dark. Then from the dark, They came, and found the Souls of Lords within the flame. Nito, the First of the Dead, The Witch of Izalith and her Daughters of Chaos, Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, and his faithful knights. And the Furtive Pygmy, so easily forgotten. With the strength of Lords, they challenged the Dragons. Gwyn's mighty bolts peeled apart their stone scales. The Witches weaved great firestorms. Nito unleashed a miasma of death and disease. And Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own, and the Dragons were no more. Thus began the Age of Fire. But soon the flames will fade and only Dark will remain. Even now there are only embers, and man sees not light, but only endless nights. And amongst the living are seen, carriers of the accursed Darksign. Yes, indeed. The Darksign brands the Undead. And in this land, the Undead are corralled and led to the north, where they are locked away, to await the end of the world... This is your fate. Only, in the ancient legends it is stated, that one day an undead shall be chosen to leave the undead asylum, in pilgrimage, to the land of ancient lords, Lordran.

This takes me back to my first 6502. Obviously crafted with much passion and nostalgia for the early home computing era. Thanks John!

Is the developer accepting bug reports? If so, how?

This seems to be the only app of its kind on iOS. I’m having great fun with it but wish it had a landscape option when I turn my iPad sideways, and if it worked with my hardware keyboard it would be even better. Right now I just edit elsewhere and paste in the assembly code. The KIM console is a bit weird. Actually I wish it didn’t emulate the KIM and gave me a real assembly console app so I can type things like LIST and G 200 and NUM and things like that. Anyways this is still a fantastic app!!!

No matter where you are in the world and when 6502 inspiration strikes you will finally be able to try out that piece of 6502 code on this great Kim-1 emulator

I love the experience, and the documentation is awesome. I recommend this is programming on a 6502 is interesting to you.

Having problems with default keyboard. It wraps beyond screen on latest iOS update running on iPhone X. Makes it very hard to enter anything correctly
