[6502bench](https://6502bench.com/) is a code development "workbench"
for 6502, 65C02, and 65802/65816 code. It currently features one tool,
the SourceGen disassembler.
You can download the source code and build it yourself, or click the
["Releases" tab](https://github.com/fadden/6502bench/releases) for
[Releases tab](https://github.com/fadden/6502bench/releases) for

## Installation ##
There is currently no installer -- just unzip the archive and run the
executable. The data files used by the program are found automatically
based on the path to the .EXE file.
SourceGen relies on the .NET Framework. For Windows, you need to have
Microsoft .NET Framework v4.6.2 or later installed. Many people will already
have this installed. If SourceGen doesn't seem to want to start, download
the latest version (v4.7.2)
[directly from Microsoft](https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-framework-runtime).
The framework requires Win7 SP1, Win8.1, or Win10 updated through at least
the Anniversary Update (1607).
In theory, SourceGen can work with Mono under Linux and Mac OS X. It
currently crashes on startup with Mono 5.14.0 on Ubuntu, so it's uncertain
when or if this will work.
## Getting Started ##
The best way to get started is by working through the tutorial. Launch
SourceGen, hit F1 to open the user manual in your web browser, then scroll
down near the bottom of the index page. Click on "Tutorials", and follow
the instructions.

All of the code is written in C# .NET, using the (free to download) Visual
Studio Community 2017 IDE as the primary development environment. The user
interface uses the WinForms API. Efforts have been made to avoid doing
anything Windows-specific, in the hope that the applications will be
straightforward to port to other platforms.
