The best time of the year. Holiday season. You are lying in a deck chair on one of the most beautiful beaches ever, enjoy nice company, sip a Piña colada, pull out your iPhone and do some 6502 assembly programming for the Apple 1 or the KIM-1 retro computers. ON YOUR iPHONE! The wet dream of almost all my summer nights of the early 90's finally came true. 🎊
John Kennedy just released VirtualKim, an iOS application for iPAD that also runs properly on an iPhone. Yes, the great-great-great-great-great-[...]-grandfather of the device your are probably reading that email on as well as the KIM-1 were both based on an MOS 6502 CPU. (Hello Inception.) And that is, what this emulator is all about.
You can write and assemble custom 6502 assembly code, load it into either one of the two emulators, access both machines via a virtual terminal and even program the KIM-1 the hardcore way, using a hex keyboard UI.
Both emulators come with a number of loadable programs and games. Yes, finally, Star Trek on iOS. Building Universe...
Thank you John!
