Good news! Even if you couldn’t make it to #GodotFest this year, all the recorded talks are now gradually being uploaded to our YouTube channel.
If you’d like to support the speakers (and us!) in reaching a wider audience, a like and sub would be awesome!

The 6502 portion of my WIP Apple II emulator seems to be passing some standard test suites so the next step is to get some text on a screen. I think if I can get a BASIC prompt working this month I’d be pretty happy with my progress. Would also be neat to get 65C02 support and try the Lynx out.

Working on a no_std Rust Apple II emulator for fun. First time really messing with the 6502 and the addressing modes are really nutty because you have to implement the same instruction multiple times. Trying some ideas to cut the boilerplate but still a fun experience.

Espressif hired a bunch of Rust devs years ago and they have been quietly doing great work supporting Rust on their chips ever since. Still haven’t seen any other chip companies get close.

Even though they say"[b]eyond this timeframe, we will keep a subset of Rosetta functionality aimed at supporting older unmaintained gaming titles, that rely on Intel-based frameworks." I'm curious how this plays out, it feels kind of aggressive.

Is the #Atari STe just hard to find in the US? I can never find any on eBay but there’s still a healthy amount of 520ST and 1040ST models.
