intel 8085 is a prehistoric microprocessor, so this sim emulates the proccy, by using same hex codes, and program language. thus software emulating hardware.:D

well 8085 programming is a part of 11-12th computer science syllabus, (atleast in maharashtra). and programs written on paper can be verified, coz the sim is able to emulate EVERY part of mp8085.

8085 being PREHISTORIC has minimum Instruction Set. So its useful in understanding mp architecture...
its part of syllabus for CSE, ECE in 2nd year I guess..

8085 is still used in simple uP controlled systems. Its not obsolete. Even 8086.

8085 is not obsolete. small embedded systems dont require a P4 to do some calculations. so a simple 8085 is able to do the job.

@Vivek788
u can try gnusim8085 for sim in Linux.also there are many such simulators in debian or ubuntu repositories.
GNUSim8085 is a graphical simulator, assembler and debugger for the
Intel 8085 microprocessor.
