Hobbyist Builds Discrete 6502 CPU With Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Hacker News ·

A developer designed a discrete 6502 processor using individual logic chips, controlled by a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W. The project, inspired by Monster 6502, aims to stay 'reasonable' while exploring retro computing. The creator has not yet ordered the PCB from JLCPCB but has passed all file checks.

Meridian48 take
