Recently programming languages rust swift kotlin are all have too many tricks, make chinese developers feel uncomfortable and naive .
Also I found another project libco: https://github.com/Tencent/libco which is created by the China internet company tecent, the mother company of WeChat.

A Game Boy Color Emulator, Rust, and a COVID fever dream
Don't know about other systems, but bsnes/higan is probably the most widely known SNES emulator that operates at the cycle level. It uses libco to implement green threads. More details here, but afaik the basic idea is to emulate one subsystem for as long as possible until it touches another subsystem (like the CPU reading a register of the PPU), and at that point the other subsystem catches up.

Any C Asynchronous libraries I can translate to?
Not sure exactly what you're looking for/what you mean by 'asynchronous/coroutine', but you probably want either libco or libuv (or both?)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing libco and libco you can also consider the following projects:
libgo - Go-style concurrency in C++11
