BASIC2600 is an emulator intended to emulate the Atari 2600 game console. It's closer to a demo than to accurately emulate the 2600 at a playable emulation speed. Later versions may include a 6502 assembler so you can write 6502 assembly and execute it on the emulator. FAQ: Q: Will this emulate at a playable speed? A: Unlikely due to the fact that SmileBASIC isn't a very fast language due to inherent limitations in interpreted languages. Q: Will emulation be accurate? A: Unlikely Q: When will it be available for download? A: When it can run a 2600 game Q: How will I get games for it? A: A few copyright-free games will be included. I will not assist you in piracy. Q: Will you make an NES/Commodore 64 emulator with the 6502 CPU emulator base? A: At this point in time there are no plans to do so.

Maybe people might mention these questions in the future, so they’re just being answered now.

Having done some early testing with the emulator, I have decided that it's sadly completely unworkably slow for emulating a games console, the focus will shift towards making just a 6502 microprocessor emulator.
