New Commodore 64 hardware simulator lets users break chips and pins

Original: The Commodore 64 hardware simulator: break chips and pins, see the results

Developer Salvatore Sanfilippo, known as antirez, has released a Commodore 64 hardware simulator on GitHub that models the vintage computer's chips and pins, allowing users to break components and see the resulting behaviour. The project is drawing attention from retro-computing fans and engineers interested in hands-on hardware learning without physical equipment.

Why now: The novel ability to simulate hardware failures on a beloved vintage computer appeals to both nostalgic hobbyists and people learning electronics.
