Alternatively it's fairly trivial today to run a transistor-level simulation of the 6502 (and a couple of other chips) thanks to the visual6502 reverse engineering effort (the http: link is intended):
One advantage of this approach is that you can inspect internal chip state that isn't visible on the output pins, which is very useful for emulator coding.
...and a couple of years ago I glued all those bits and pieces together for a 'remix' of the original visual6502 web application, using WASM + WebGL + Dear Imgui:

The netlist is available in their Git repo:
https://github.com/trebonian/visual6502
...and there's a C port of the netlist simulation code:
