Correctly interpret individual MOS 6502 instructions. +2. Run a system monitor program correctly. +3. Successfully run a BASIC program in Wozniak's BASIC interpreter. -1. Correctly interpret MOS 6502 machine code. -2. Create a 'terminal emulator' that mimics the Signetics 2513 terminal which the Apple I came with. -3. Run a system monitor operating system. -4. Create a virtual cassette interface which can read binary files. -5. Run a BASIC program on Wozniak's BASIC interpreter. +Planned core features for the emulator include: -Once I have reached those particular goals of basic functionality, then I may decide to expand the emulator with other features such as: - -1. Simulating the actual speed of the computer. -2. Expandable memory. -3. An option to emulate the Apple I with either a MOS 6502 or a Motorola 6800. -4. Retro graphical effects
