I made this simulator for the Intel 8085 microprocessor a few years back. It
is of no use to me now but seems to be of interest to many others, which is why
it still exists.
Some description
What's nice about it is that is has a good GUI (see screenshot), an
integrated assembler, debugger (step-mode and breakpoints) and a convenient and
editable view of the registers and memory. It also gives a count of CPU T-states
for those who want to estimate how fast their program runs. Some sample programs
are included to get you started.
What's not so nice about it is that its written in Visual Basic, has an
active-x control that doesn't seem to work well on some computers (I guess win95
users have the problem) and that it is still closed-source.
I can't seem to find a good online reference or tutorial for programming the
8085. If you know of one, please let me know.
Download
The binary distribution is free to download and use.
Version 1.3.7: Installer: sim8085.zip
[Version 1.3.6 is still
around, in case you have a problem using 1.3.7] Just the latest
executable: sim8085.exe
[Note: This program has been reported to be incompatible with Windows 95]
Registration: Use the name everyone and the code
DCKKI to get rid of the nag screen.
Changelog and history

Version 1.3.2 came into existance spontaneously a while back.
8 Aug 2001: I added this changelog.
Version 1.3.5 should come out soon. I think I finally fixed the DAA bug.
Dont ask me about v1.3.3-4.
Version 1.3.6 is here. Xoom.com closed its doors, so I had to move the
files to ocf.berkeley.edu. The URLs in the software are updated.
Version 1.3.7: The long pending bug fixes for POP PSW and DAA are in.

Contacting me
My email address is listed at the top of this page. Mail me bug reports,
words of admiration and good wishes. Feel free to mail me about additional
features you want or things you don't like about the interface. If I ever do get
back to maintaining this program, your thoughts will be beneficial to the other
users of sim8085.
Please do not send me mail asking me to send you source code for
plagiarizing your class project.

Try some other 8085
simulators which are perhaps better maintained than this one.
