A 6502 emulator in JavaScript, visualizing the actual core and its electric flow during operation, cycle by cycle, instruction by instruction. If this is not Hacker News worthy, I don't know what is.

Wow - that was made by extracting the gates & nets from de-packaged die photographs! It is actually a transistor & wiring simulator (in javascript) that has a 6502 description loaded (and a simulated memory device tied to the pads)

Wonder how fast it runs. I could dig out the old Apple //e load up kermit and transfer the hard hat mack runtime over. If I can find a kermit client for windows. And probably a serial port card. And a null modem cable. And if the old floppies are still readable.

That is absolutely amazing. You should post that one separately, it's definitely worth it.
