Nintendo 64 Java
There's an open source effort to build one with a Pi Pico: https://github.com/kbeckmann/PicoCart64/tree/develop
I have no clue how tested it is, and README mentions only up to 2MB ROMs, but it is a start.
- Raspberry pi Everdrive ?

Another open source flash cartridge based on the RP2040 chip
The main idea is to make the cartridge as simple and cheap as possible. Contrary to Konrad's idea of multiplexed PSRAM chips and two RP2040, I decided to use one SPI flash memory chip and one RP2040. Modern flash chips allow to erase and flash data more than 100,000 times, which is more than enough for home use for many years. Since the RP2040 does not support SPI flash chips larger than 16MB, it was decided to use page mode with page switching through the Extended Address register (EA register).

Ask HN: Where can I find a primer on how computers boot?
Can't remember if it covers more practical stuff like GRUB but I really like https://littleosbook.github.io/

why if python is turing complete that means that everything can be created in it, but nobody decides to create things like OS, game engines and compilers and even if they do they use dozens of libraries and frameworks that are writen in languages like C, C++ or maybe Rust, why it is so?
A good place to start learning about OS programming is https://littleosbook.github.io/

What should I know for this task? (OS+TCP) + questions after googling
So a non 9p disk is more work than getting TCP? (UDP is my first goal but before that I'll read https://littleosbook.github.io/)
