A 6502 machine using an RP2040 for onerous lifting « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers! – Notice Today Web

Olimex has fresh launched NEO6502 an open-source element retrospective machine fashioned for educational and recreation purposes, but that doesn’t stingy it can’t be utilised for retrospective gaming.

The commission is shapely around a 65C02 MPU and uses a Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 MCU in a dual-processor configuration. The MOS6502 handles the Apple II, Oric, and Commodore 64 emulators whereas the RP2040 handles everything added including HDMI (DVI) recording production using the PicoDVI project.

Olimex NEO6502 commission specifications

• Processors
  • Western Design Center W65C02S 8-bit microprocessor @ 6.25 rate with 64kB RAM, 32kB Graphics RAM
  • Raspberry Pi RP2040 dual-core Cortex-M0+ MCU @ 133 rate with 264 KB SRAM
• Storage – USB attorney (optionally crapper ingest SD Card)
• USB – USB-A ports for keyboard and mettlesome controllers
• Video production – HDMI port
• Audio – 3.5mm frequence jack
• UEXT Port for element extensions
• Power – USB-C noesis cater connector
• Dimensions – 80×55 mm with quaternary 3.3mm mounting holes

As mentioned early the commission features a two-processor falsehood that outperforms senior 6502-based systems, making the Neo6502 faster and more efficient. Additionally, it has an onboard buzzer that crapper be utilised for notifications or as a utterer patch activity games.
