There appears to be a dead link in the m6502 screensaver.

Specifically, the settings section which contains the link
"www.6502asm.com" Which redirects to this odd south Asian gambling
website. I think you should remove this as I clicked the link hoping to
find the original java script version only to be led to the
aforementioned site which could potentially contain malware or other
nasties.

You could also instead link it to an archive of the site.

Thanks!

Thanks for the report, this was done in upstream version 6.11.
