Project mention: Ente: Open-Source, E2E Encrypted, Google Photos Alternative | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-01They don't "allow" it, but most apps that need background execution just ask permission for geolocation tracking and pretend to use it, for example iSH[1]. There are a few activities that the app can do to prevent itself from being suspended when it goes out of focus, like playing sound, geolocation etc.

VisualBoyAdvance is outdated, while not bad you can do better than that when mGBA exists
Project mention: Stardew Valley on Starfive VisionFive 2 running Ubuntu 23.10 with external Ati Radeon HD 5450 | /r/RISCV | 2023-12-07I see it can do more now, already tried some stuff. But see it is now more mature than months ago. Will try factorio again https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/issues/665
citra is for 3ds games. while it should be compatible with ds games since the physical consoles are, this isn't true of the emulators. http://desmume.org/ has what you need.
86Box crashes on startup without showing any message, no matter the hardware or operating system being emulated and 86Box build, either stable, experimental or old/new dynamic recompiler. Created an issue on GitHub but the dev who replied said he couldn't reproduce it.
Skyemu has a Web version that's usable on Android. Other than that, I don't think there's any new one.
The big problem is that 64-bit x86 long mode removes the V86 mode that made DOS 386 memory managers possible.
This is why the DOSemu project has been doing a multi-year rewrite: to create a new, full-VM-based DOSemu2 that can run DOS without emulation on x86-64 machines.
Project mention: McDonald's Just Dropped a Brand New Game Boy Game in 2023 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-13This is using my gameboy emulator, binjgb[0], on the website! (well one of my gameboy emulators, heh [1][2]) It's been used as the emulator for GB Studio for a little while now, but I don't know how often people embed it in their websites, so it's really cool to see.
