Not sure OP's intent, but they could use this project (which Michal 
knows about, just putting here for the OP):

https://github.com/go4retro/Nu6509

To maybe implement some help for the banking that's not so restrictive.

I can say that, issues with banking aside, I'd recommend adding an IO 
port to a 6502, like so:

https://github.com/go4retro/Nu6510

To avoid using the expensive 6510 directly.

Here's a version for the +4:

https://github.com/go4retro/Nu7501

Like the gitlab project mentioned earlier.
