Writing an emulator: the first steps
A promising start in which, after about 2000 words, I finally get to execute literally three bytes of machine code.
Writing an emulator: it’s the journey that counts!
TL;DR: I started writing a Game Boy emulator in Go in June 2018 and since then, at least three distinct people have expressed polite interest in the details. I hope to show how it’s done, in mildly-to-heavily technical terms. It’s going to take a while but I hope it turns out marginally informative.

But I was bothered by the fact I didn’t have the word count statistics for the very first year I did it. Well, thanks to versioning and scripting, I could roughly …

Honestly, what’s the worst, here? That I’m writing dirty, dirty MUSH code in 2013? On a Friday evening? Alone with a beer? In a text editor for which I created a specific syntax highlighting configuration? Or maybe the fact I’m having so much FUN doing it?
Computer Archeology
How do you call something that’s been working so perfectly for the past ten years that nobody ever felt the need to touch it?
Obsolete!
