64-bit MOS 6510 compatible CPU(GLSL, 1080p)-Caustic Demo 2

FUN FACT #1: AMD's 3Ghz Epyc Rome CPU has 39,540,000,000 transistors vs. the MOS 6502 with it's 4,528 transistors. It is therefore possible to create a 64-bit MOS 6510 compatible CPU(about 36,224 transistors) with a clock speed of 4Ghz using current CPU manufacturing technology.

FUN FACT #2: The universities have already produced multicore 8-bit CPUs that run at 150GHz or more in the lab.

About a year ago I started playing around with the emulator's source code. I wanted to see what I could get the POKE statement to do. So the first I got the emulator to play DVDs. See lines 270-274: https://github.com/fatman2021/project-manhattan/blob/master/c64dvd-p.bas

Then I added 32-bit color support and 64-bit registers. c64dvd-p.bas lines 275-306

Next I exposed the FreeBASIC runtime library's pset, getmouse, and cls commands. c64dvd-p.bas lines 307-318

After that I gave the emulator the ability to render image using generated POV-ray code. c64dvd-p.bas lines 319-921

Using POV-ray turned out to be to slow. So I tried Blender instead. Lines 439-1113: https://github.com/fatman2021/project-manhattan/blob/master/c64dvd-b.bas

This was good for simple scenes, but for more complex ones it was too slow. So I switched to GLSL as a result. https://github.com/fatman2021/project-manhattan/blob/master/c64dvd-glsl.bas (lines 484-663) https://github.com/fatman2021/project-manhattan/blob/master/glsl.bi (all)

The emulator generates a line of GLSL script based of the value written to address 49314. The GLSL script is then compiled and executed 0 is written to address 49313.
