Decent 6502 emulator?

Does anybody know of a decent emulator for the 6502? I really want to get into it, but the only one I've found that actually works is 6502js. I've tried Apple ][ and C64 emulators, but I couldn't get either of them to run an assembler. Does anyone have any emulators, or good walkthroughs for setting...

I know a decent amount of C++, and some C, but I don't know any assembly, and other than the fact that I know the NES has a MOS 6502, I don't know anything about the hardware of it. What...
