Feature coverage per architecture
The following table shows which features are implemented for which CPU architecture.

-
No hardware support.
-
All 6502, 65SC02 and 65CE02 instructions are supported. 65C02 bit setting/testing instructions and some HuC6280 instructions are not supported.
-
Some instructions and addressing modes are not supported.
-
Optimized for the processor in the emulation mode used as an accelerator for a 6502-based system. Doesn't utilize its full capabilities in the native mode.
-
Major missing optimization is elision of stack variables.
-
Implemented features may require a zeropage register on 6502 targets.
-
65816 code is quite suboptimal. If you're targeting a 65816 machine only, consider using something else for the time being.
-
8086 code is simply a dumb translation from 8080 and is therefore very, very suboptimal. If you're targeting a 8086 machine only, consider using something else for the time being.
-
Other CPU's from the 6809 family might be added in the future.
