If you don't mind translating a not too-terribly-long
program for another processor, then I believe MIKBUG
for the 6800 may do ok. My first embedded
systems project was a 6800, and I included MIKBUG in
the ROM so that I could precisely what you want to
do.

The 8051 being a more generous chip register-wise,
translating it shouldn't be difficult.

You can find at least one version here:

Looks like a fun weekend project.
