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.

Issues with AO486
Have you checked all the details in https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/ao486_MiSTer ?

Recently, I came across a video on Youtube by Linus Tech Tips about the PCEm emulator that I found to be cringy and ill-informed. As a computer engineer by education let me explain few core concepts on how emulation works.
You mention "Pentium MMX CPU" a few times in your post, but fail to mention any FPGA solution that can emulate a machine of that class. MiSTer can't do that, the best it can do is a 486 (not just missing MMX, doesn't even have an FPU).

KEYBCS2
The last processor generation it worked on is the 486, but on a Pentium or newer it always fails with a “Debugging is not allowed” message.
I guessed the reason for that correctly - prefetch queue. Mentions of CUP386 in the comments also brought back more memories of the cracking scene in the late 80s/early 90s. There's some very interesting discussion on SMC vs CPU behaviour here --- in the context of an open-source 486-level SoC core:

Ao486_MiSTer: i486 core for the MiSTer FPGA gaming system
That's what the project they pulled this from (ao486) says:
"The ao486 is an x86 compatible Verilog core implementing all features of a 486 SX"
