Nyxx is a minimal 6502 emulator written in Zig, designed for clarity, modularity, and educational value.

While GitHub focuses on code and commits, this Notion space serves as a narrative companion — explaining why things are built this way, not just how.

Happy 50th Birthday, 6502!

Why Zig

Zig offers precise memory control and a clean, minimal syntax — making it an ideal language for hardware emulation.

Its simplicity enables Nyxx to reproduce system behavior faithfully, without unnecessary abstraction, ensuring both accuracy and clarity in low-level design.
