Total fun talk! No C++ at all: but my story on how I implemented a cycle-perfect 6502 emulator for the BBC Micro (a British home computer from the 1980s)...in Javascript! And how - amazingly - it's fast enough to run in a browser, even on a cell-phone!

Includes some fun tales of how old games protection systems work, and more information than any sane human would ever want to know about how the innards of the venerable 6502 work.
