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.

Show HN: Mutable.ai – Turn your codebase into a Wiki
Nice! I’d be interested to see how it handles https://github.com/rosco-m68k/rosco_m68k , it’s a mixed software / hardware repo, with a lot of code in assembler and C (for an old platform). Might be a challenge?

Micro Beast: Self contained 8-bit computer kit in a box
Probably not exactly what you’re looking for (since you mention “outdated”) but there are similar projects with 16 and 32 bit architectures, e.g. https://github.com/rosco-m68k/rosco_m68k
(Disclosure: I’m the designer and lead developer on that project).

DIY pc kit to solder
Maybe the rosco-m68k computer kit would be up your alley. If you want to stay in z80 land, there's the omega MSX2 clone but I don't see any kits, so you'd have to get the boards and parts yourself.

Is TL866II worth buying?
Hi. The 68000 is an "old school CPU", like the 6502 and has no programmable memory inside the chip itself. To operate a 68000 system there generally needs to be some external ROM and RAM chips (and the type can vary). However, the same as with Ben Eater's 6502 and 8-bit kits, the TL866-II will likely be useful to program EPROMs and GALs on a 68000 setup also (it sure has been on the 68000 single board computer I have been tinkering with recently).

FPGA VGA solution for an 8-bit 6502 microprocessor
I am working on a similar project Xosera, aimed at adding video to a 68000 era home-brew system (the rosco_m68k). It is basically all working and there is a prototype PCB made. I am just finalizing "blitter" unit design and hopefully I'll have room for some "Amiga style" audio.

Show HN: Tetris, but the blocks are ARM instructions that execute in the browser
OFRAK Tetris is a project I started at work about two weeks ago. It's a web-based game that works on desktop and mobile. I made it for my company to bring to events like DEF CON, and to promote our binary analysis and patching framework called OFRAK.
In the game, 32-bit, little-endian ARM assembly instructions fall, and you can modify the operands before executing them on a CPU emulator. There are two segments mapped – one for instructions, and one for data (though both have read, write, and execute permissions). Your score is a four byte signed integer stored at the virtual address pointed to by the R12 register, and the goal is to use the instructions that fall to make the score value in memory as high as possible. When it's game over, you can download your game as an ELF to relive the glory in GDB on your favorite ARM device.
The CPU emulator is a version of Unicorn (https://www.unicorn-engine.org/) that has been cross-compiled to WebAssembly (https://alexaltea.github.io/unicorn.js/), so everything on the page runs in the browser without the need for any complicated infrastructure on the back end.
Since I've only been working on this for a short period of time leading up to its debut at DEF CON, there are still many more features I'd eventually like to implement. These include adding support for other ISAs besides ARM, adding an instruction reference manual, and lots of little cleanups, bug fixes, and adjustments.
My highest score is 509,644,979, but my average is about 131,378.
I look forward to feedback, bug reports, feature requests, and strategy discussions!

It Takes 6 Days to Change 1 Line of Code
Entails hundreds of hours of single-stepping through that opcode in Linux kernel using an indirect operand pointing toward its own opcode (self-modifying code).
Even the extraordinaire Fabrice Bellard (author of QEMU) admitted that it is broke and did a total rewrite, which fixed tons of other issues.

Vita3K android running Tales of Hearts R - A Glimpse of What's to come
Macdu (Vita3K dev) also stated that this game is CPU bound so they used a CPU emulator known as unicorn2 , this is also the reason for the slow speed

QEMU Version 7.0.0 Released
This is how I found out a snippet of assembly code that can actually distinguished between a KVM hypervisor and most of today’s emulator.

Top Python Tools for Malware Analysis. – PythonStacks
Unicorn is missing from that list.
The python CPU emulator with full program counter (PC) and general (and other CPU-specific) register set controls.
I use it to catch fileless malware in the second fastest dynamic manner. Also good for detecting Rowhammer/SPECTRE behaviors.
