# Supermon+64 V1.2

Supermon64 is a machine-language monitor for the Commodore 64. It allows you to
|

inspect and alter memory locations as well as assemble and disassemble machine code.

Supermon64 is a machine-language monitor for the Commodore 64. In modern parlance, it would be
|
||||
called a debugger, providing functions including inspecting and altering registers and memory locations;
|
||||
searching, comparing, and transferring blocks of memory; and assembling and disassembling machine code.

More than 30 years later, here's where I come in. I recently decided to teach myself 6502
