From the project

A generic main board to build 8-bit computers

This not so well known CPU is an extended variant of the 6502. It extends the address space to 24 bit and some internal registers can be used with a width of 16 bit. It was used in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) as well as the Apple IIGS, but it was never very accessible to hobby programmers back in the day. Even for todays hardware DIY fans this CPU is quite tricky to use because of its multiplexed data bus and other details.
