Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

I build an online emulation platform with cloud saving and cross-device support. Would love some feedback.
This seems like the best idea look up www.boxedwine.org and if you want a port of it to Xbox dev mode please comment on this https://github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine/issues/5 saying I would like a port for Xbox too please or by simply liking the post to show interest! If you can code or think you can help the devs in any way let them know

Its not actually emulating a real linux kernel. It implements its own "kernel": https://github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine/tree/master/source/kern...

I've been porting this to Nixos all week. Handles glide emulation pretty well

QEMU 8.0.0 released
As for 3D acceleration, I've seen this repository (no idea if it works) https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx, and I've also seen that QEMU added the "ati-vga" device, which supports the Rage 128 Pro and Radeon RV100, but those seem to be a bit WIP.

Parallels vs Crossover on older games
And, here we also have the 3rd option which is less well-known than CrossOver and Parallel Desktop while targeting older Windows games with compatibility issues on modern Windows, QEMU featuring qemu-3dfx for Apple Silicon https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx
-
CrossOver support not responding, should I try getting a refund and purchase Parallels instead?
You can check out qemu-3dfx for Apple Silicon macOS. https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx/wiki/Apple-Silicon-macOS-Prerequisites

How do you emulate old Win95 games with 3dfx? And how to set up quicklaunch for it on a frontend?
If you are a true gamer from the late 90' s though, you can and probably will run into an old game that doesn't work on modern windows. PCem is really the only good option IMO, but performance is very limited. Especially with glide and 3d acceleration, even the fastest CPUs aren't able to emulate much faster than a pentium II 200mhz at voodoo 2 at full speed (if you are emulating MMX on top of that forget it). Virtualization is possible but not likely to help as win95 virtualization is very basic and doesn't do much gaming things very well. With that said, there are some pretty crazy virtualization projects out there; here is one that requires you to compile everything from source yourself for basically no reason https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx (have fun).
