NovaVM Hits Real Silicon: A Math Coprocessor, a Logo Interpreter, and a Path to the Arty Z7
Last time, NovaVM was a .NET emulator heading toward FPGA. Now it boots on real hardware over HDMI, it has a hardware math coprocessor, and it runs NovaLogo: a complete Logo interpreter written from scratch in 6502 assembly. Next stop is the Arty Z7, and that changes what this machine can become.

I built a fantasy 6502 computer with dual SID chips, hardware sprites, a copper coprocessor, a blitter, and a built-in BASIC. It already runs as a .NET VM. Now I'm taking it to FPGA, because kids today deserve the same immediate, tangible computing experience we had in the '80s.

I built an MCP server directly into the VICE emulator, giving AI assistants like Claude the ability to read memory, set breakpoints, inspect sprites, and control a Commodore 64 in real time. Then I plugged it into a 6502 unit testing framework. Here's why, and how it all fits together.
