Re: MCL65+ 6502 Accelerator Board
Here are the acceleration results on the Commodore 64. The VIC-20 could achieve something similar.

Re: MCL65+ 6502 Accelerator Board
I could probably get more acceleration out of the VIC-20, but I moved on fairly quickly to the Apple II+. I can revisit it if there is interest. I was able to max out the VIC-20's memory and was able to test a number of cartridge images loaded into the MCL65+'s memory. it probably wouldn't be too di...

Re: MCL65+ 6502 Accelerator Board
I need to post this in a Commodore 64 forum; but some users expressed an interest in a C64 drop-in accelerator... I received my MCL64 board a few days ago and was able to successfully replace the 6510 in my Commodore 64! https://microcorelabs.wordpress.com/2021/04/16/mcl64-mos-6510-emulator-works-in...

Re: MCL65+ 6502 Accelerator Board
Hi, I am working on a 6510 version of the MCL65+ which can be used in a Commodore 64. A few more buffers are needed to support AEC and the Peripheral pins, but it is basically a 6510 layout of the system which works in the Apple II+ and the VIC-20. Due to a shortage of pins on the Teensy 4.1 I will ...

Re: MCL65+ 6502 Accelerator Board
A 40-pin ribbon cable extender could also probably work... This is just an experiment which seems to have worked. I published the project on GitHub so it should be easy if someone wanted to adapt the PCB to another form factor. I chose a two-sided PCB which costs $5 to manufacture, but Im sure the b...

Re: MCL65+ 6502 Accelerator Board
SuperCPU... Thats a cool name for it! Interesting points on the VIC/6502 sharing the bus when accessing RAM... I designed the MCL65+ to emulate the 6502 cycle timing and bus interface like the original chip so it could be used as a drop-in replacement. I have not yet tried it with a VIC-20 disk driv...

MCL65+ 6502 Accelerator Board
Hi, I wanted to share my MCL65+ project which is a drop-in replacement and accelerator for the 6502 processor! The 6502 is emulated in software running on a 600Mhz Arduino (Teensy4.1) which provides enough horsepower to emulate the CPU as well as the 6502 bus IO's. I also developed a small PCB which...
