Project mention: My idea for an OS project | /r/osdev | 2023-05-22

this type of thing is typically referred to as a "fantasy computer" because it emulates a fantasy architecture. there are a few of them out there! the ones that i know of besides fox32 are XR/station (https://github.com/xrarch) and OkamiStation (https://github.com/TalonFox/OkamiStation), both of which are made by friends of mine. those two are RISC so maybe you could take a look at them for some inspiration
