Bit random but does anyone know how possible it is to get this look within Stella? [Pallete/TV Effects].
Not Stella, but the Clock Signal emulator does a great job of emulating the TV effects. The 2600 emulation isn't quite as good as Stella, though.

Giveaway: Mac Plus with Hard Disk 20 - Chicago area
I’ll be visiting Chicago on the 9th for a single night, and the author of this Mac Plus emulator which attempts to be cycle-accurate and therefore it’d be really great to have a real machine to test against… but I’m clueless at electrical work. So factor that in re: the retirement that the machine be used by its direct recipient.

Of the more rarely seen here: the Apple II, why not?
The repository is here; binary releases for the Mac are in the appropriate section though HDV support and a few other relevant tweaks haven’t made it into a release yet so you can’t yet run Total Replay as shown. You’d probably need to use disk images.

Vi-mode for your Apple II prompt
Thanks for the confirmation! I just wrote an Issue. I hope Tom gets it sorted out. I normally use OpenEmulator on the Mac but I like the simplicity of CLK and would like to make it my main emulator.

But does it run Doom? Ummm, not exactly.
It's available via GitHub but fair warning: it's a large project and is the one I used to learn modern C++ so some of the older parts of it aren't fantastic.

Is there a up-to-date Sega Genesis Standalone Emulator?
The libretro core seems to be outdated according to the GitHub page. It says last commit being on Jul 26, 2022. Meanwhile the standalone is Feb 20th, 2023.

How Long Did It Take You to Build Your Second Emulator?
BlastEm is my first reasonably complete emulator, but I had a couple of other emulation projects that didn't really go anywhere previously so you can kind of consider it the second. It took me about two months before I got things sort of working and about 11 months before my first release. It took considerably longer for things to get into reasonably good shape.

Is there a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive emulator that's still supported today?
Blastem is still under development.

Emulating the Sega Genesis - Part III
Special thanks to ComradeOj for the demo ROMs, and Mike Pavone and the other contributors for BlastEm (github mirror). Without these, it would have taken a lot more time to get this working.
