I’ve written two, both for the IBM 8100 while it was in development. The 
first was for simple program logic validation, and the second to do the 
same plus logic and I/O delays in fake (not real) time – for program 
testing and regression testing.

Later I used a forerunner of the beasts I linked to above long enough to 
figure out that if there was a flaw in the model (or a discrepancy 
between the intended design as reflected in the model and the actual 
silicon), then not even a megabuck FPGA-based simulator/emulator was 
going to resolve them. :-P

It’s not very bleeding-edge of me, but my most productive methods are 
still printf() and logging selected data to memory. :-)
