I got this piece of Assembly code extracted from some piece of software, but unfortunately I don't know anything of assembler and the bits I touched of Assembler was back in the Commodore Amiga with the 68000.

Can anybody guide me on how I could understand this code without me needing to learn assembler from scratch, or just tell me what it does?

Is there any kind of "Simulator" out there that I can run this on to see what it does?
