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.
