My new project: dream86, an 8086/PC emulator in Rust
At the moment, the emulator can run a small 512 byte game (pillman, https://github.com/nanochess/Pillman). What do you think can be the next steps? I'd like to refactor the CPU code in primis, and then tackle some more small .COM programs, and then maybe go with booting DOS and bigger programs.

Just got my bootloader and real mode kernel working on 80s hardware!
I recently got my hands on a IBM PC Convertible (model 5140), rocking an Intel 8088 CPU and 256KB of RAM! I had to get my bootloader and kernel running on this thing, and after a few weeks of fixing up bugs its finally working!!! For those interested on the source code: FAT12/16 Bootloader (github.com) SuccOS: A hobby Operating System (github.com)
