What is a .H6X file?
An .H6X file is a special kind of data file that is used with a program called Soft6502 Trainer/Simulator. This program is like a virtual computer that lets people learn and experiment with how a 6502 microprocessor works. The 6502 microprocessor is a famous chip used in many early computers.
The .H6X file contains information in a form that the Soft6502 program can understand and use. This information is basically instructions or code that tells the 6502 microprocessor what to do, along with some additional data. You can think of it like a recipe that the program follows to simulate how a real 6502 microprocessor would behave.
You can save these .H6X files to keep your work and load them back into the Soft6502 program whenever you want to continue working on your project or to see how your instructions run on the simulated 6502 microprocessor.
To open an .H6X file, you need to use the CRBond Soft6502 Trainer/Simulator program. This is the main program designed to work with these files.
More about what's inside an .H6X file: - The file is written in ASCII text, which means you can open and edit it with any text editor, like Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac. However, to actually run or simulate the code, you'll need the Soft6502 Trainer/Simulator. - Inside the file, the information is organized in a specific way. Each line starts with four hexadecimal digits (hex digits are numbers from 0-9 and letters from A-F) that represent an address in memory. After the address, there are groups of two hex digits, each representing a piece of the code (called opcode) or data that goes into that address. - The way the .H6X file is structured makes it straightforward to read and write by humans and machines, making it a useful tool for learning and experimenting with 6502 code.
In summary, .H6X files are used with the Soft6502 Trainer/Simulator to simulate 6502 microprocessor code. These files can be edited with a text editor but need the specific simulator program to run the code they contain.
