Project mention: Nintendo Switch Emulator: Progress Report December 2023 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-17Their C# JIT [1] generates x86_64 or ARM native code. This is why it's fast.

Project mention: Weird black boxes for font in system menu for PPSSPP core. I already put all bios/font/lang files in the right spot. Before it was all just blank. Standalone does not do this. | /r/RetroArch | 2023-12-07Update: this appears to have been something that broke upstream but only affects libretro. I made a ticket with them and you can follow its progress here: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/18483
BizHawk is a premier emulator for generating Tool Assisted Speedruns and written in C#.

Project mention: A minimal working Rust / SDL2 / WASM browser game | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-15https://github.com/parasyte/pixels
That gives you a simple software framebuffer, and it builds as a native app or for the web.

Project mention: [LINUX GUIDE] How to use text hooker (Agent) with Steam Flatpak | /r/visualnovels | 2023-08-221) Download Agent from Github >>> Releases >>> Windows version
Project mention: Playing Summer Pockets Reflection Blue in Japanese on Windows | /r/indowibu | 2023-10-20Note that you can also emulate the Switch version, but you can't use texthooker on emulators unless you use https://github.com/0xDC00/agent and a script specific to each game, and a script for this vinnie hasn't been written yet. There is however a script for the Switch version of Clannad.
Check out Mariani, a port of AppleWin (Windows) for macOS and Linux. It's open-source, cycle accurate and emulates a fairly good number of devices: https://github.com/sh95014/AppleWin
The last version finally has a debugger. It lacks the killer feature of Virtual II though: the ability to mount a folder. This is gold for cross development.
