    Use cc65 just like for NES https://gist.github.com/lucasw/53ece8eed3b99beb6215b42cc686d1a7
Emulator

vice emulator- not in ubuntu repo, need to build from source- on sourceforge:
Need some old autoconf tools (and xa65 cross assembler) to build it:
sudo apt-get install autoconf byacc flex libreadline-dev libxaw7-dev texinfo xa65

(If no libreadline-dev will get configure: error: The Xaw port needs Readline error out of configure.
svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/vice-emu/code/trunk vice-emu-code
cd vice-emu-code/vice
./autogen.sh   # can only run in-source
./configure --prefix=$HOME/other/install
make
make install

USB Joystick support

This reports no usb joystick support:
INPUT
-----
Joystick support            : yes
Mouse support               : yes
Lightpen support            : yes
Linux style joystick support: yes
BSD style joystick support  : no 
Digital joystick support    : no 
USB joystick support        : no 

In configure.ac I see
  AC_CHECK_HEADER(libusb.h,
                      [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBUSB_H,1,
                        [Define to 1 if you have the <libusb.h> header file.])
                      usb_header=yes])
      if test x"$usb_header" = "xyes" ; then
        AC_DEFINE(HAS_USB_JOYSTICK,,[Enable emulation for USB joysticks.])
        JOY_LIBS="-lusb"
        HAS_USB_JOYSTICK_SUPPORT="yes"

But it isn't getting triggered.
I do have libusb.h in /usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h, libusbhid.h or usbhid.h aren't available.

Ignoring that for now and continuing on:

/home/lucasw/other/vice-emu-code/vice/missing: line 81: makeinfo: command not found
WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
         any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
         You might want to install the Texinfo package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
         The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
         using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
         want to install GNU make:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>

sudo apt-get install texinfo

Run cc65 examples

cd cc65/samples
make

left click smart-attach disk/tape...

Select plasma (no file extension).
Then the emulator should have keyboard focus, type 'run'- it will appear all capitals but don't hold down shift.
