6502bench currently has one tool, the SourceGen disassembler.

The best place to start is to work through the tutorials. Launch the program, hit F1 to open the documentation (which is just a set of HTML pages viewed in your web browser), then click on the Tutorials link. Various sample projects are included in the distribution.

This is a minor update. Changes since last major release:

  • Added Apple II screen memory chart tool, for text and hi-res graphics.
  • Updated Apple II symbol files and visualizers.
  • Updated Apple /// symbol files and extension scripts.
  • Improved analyzer's handling of BRKs.
  • Fixed and improved cross-reference listing.
  • Added toolbar button to toggle cycle counts. Made on-screen and asm configurable independently.

The program is written in C# .NET, using WPF for the user interface. The attached binaries have been tested on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 10. There is no installer; just unzip the files somewhere convenient and double-click SourceGen.exe to start the program.

Linux and Mac OS X are not supported at this time. (Wine doesn't seem to work with .NET.)

IMPORTANT: your Windows system must have .NET Framework v4.6.2 or later installed. Most systems will already have this, but if you have trouble getting the app to start, you may need to install it. You can download it directly from Microsoft, at https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-framework-runtime .

If you want to build the sources yourself, clone the git repository and open WorkBench.sln in Visual Studio 2017 or later. I use the free-to-download VS 2019 Community Edition for development.
