Mostly what's missing is some guide to help tell people where to begin, what parts to worry about, and WHY you'd use any given piece. Example: how do I set up the chip's RAM/ROM regions? Do I want them to be user-configurable? If so, what's the best way to manage them? I could look at the other simulators and see what functions they call, then muddle through the comments to try to figure out something appropriate to pass them, but none of that means I know what I'm doing or why I'm doing it.
