Microprocessor simulators

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone has come across a good simulator for any x86 MPU's.

I have been googling off and on for a little while and I haven found anything. I don't really know my options as of yet. On my laptop (my only computer right now) I have an intel pentium M. I was trying not to poke around with it just because I am not used to the uncontrolled system. I mean, if I make a mistake I could potentially brick my system, that is something I do not want to do. If anyone has any suggestions please reply.

Re: Microprocessor simulators

That is quite true. I had a friend who found an old pc for around 90 bucks. It was pretty cool that he found it. I might talk to him about letting me use it.

Re: Microprocessor simulators

If you're on Windows, for light stuff, just open the command prompt and type "debug". This will put you in a sort of sandboxed assembler mode. Entering '?' at the prompt will give you a list of commands.

You can find cheap programmable circuit boards on eBay if you are interested.
