Any folks on here know of good resources that might help someone begin to understand what they're looking at here?<p>More generally, learning about the physical operation of microprocessors? I'm particularly iffy when it gets to where the wires and the assembler meet, if you will.
That's an impressively detailed simulation. This is tangentially related, but I made an html5 Apple ][+ emulator which, of course, includes a 6502 component. Mine doesn't simulate gates or anything that cool (and isn't even 100% correct yet) but it boots and runs a lot of different software (at full speed): <a href="http://porkrind.org/a2/" rel="nofollow">http://porkrind.org/a2/</a>
