Oh, stupid emulation author didn't follow his own post to see your question (SORRY)  You have two options:

1) From the CPU config (ctrl+shift+C) you can enable trace to STD OUT and even give it a limit how many opcodes to trace.  This is kind of a hassle because everything slows to a crawl the moment it is on.
2) Using new hidden/undocumented features (see recent 2.0-stable release) insert this special command in your code which will look like a NOP on a regular 65c02 or any other emulator, but will actually tell JACE to start trace, as well as other commands:
FC 65 00: Turn on trace
FC 65 01: Turn off trace
FC 50 xx: Print #xx to std out
FC 5B xx: Println #xx to std out
FC 5C xx: Print chr(xx) to std out

This is because FC looks like a NOP which also matches the decode pattern for an absolute address mode, taking two additional bytes (which are usually read but ignored by the real chip)  So with that JACE can repurpose the NOP as an external command hook. :)  There's also some hooks to get memory to dump all the softswitch states to STDOUT if anyone wants it for debugging purposes.
