Project mention: Show HN: Driftmania – an open source PICO-8 racing game | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-16Nice work, gives me very Micro Machines vibes for the NES. The only thing I don't like about PICO-8 is that its completely closed source. An open source alternative that seems very promising is Pyxel. It has similar retro / pixel art limitations, a built-in sprite editor, music tracker, etc.

There are plenty of alternatives you could find on [1] in the context of fantasy console, almost all of them, oss or proprietary, active or dormant. And honestly many of them were inspired by PICO-8.

Everything in web-decker is drawn to a canvas using a custom software-rendered imgui-style UI toolkit. I considered this approach essential for maintaining fidelity across platforms and implementations, but it does come with notable accessibility and performance tradeoffs.
There is a native version of Decker implemented in C using SDL2. It's fairly easy to build from source for Linux[0], and I offer periodic Windows and MacOS builds on itch.io[1].

Picolove, written in lua for love2d: a very good starting point, especially if the engine you're using has support for lua. Has been used for "expanded" versions of games, because it's very easy to modify the resolution of the display and things like that. Works for simpler carts like Celeste, but is not memory accurate!
1. Octo, a CHIP-8 assembler: https://github.com/JohnEarnest/Octo
P.S. Octojam 10 runs until 12:00 AM PST on November 1st! See the following if you're interested! https://itch.io/jam/octojam-10
fake-08, written in c++ with an SDL backend: If you want/need accurate p8 behavior, down to stuff like peek+poke and fixed point precision, look here. (As a disclosure I have contributed to this project)

Project mention: Vircon32: A new game console, created from scratch | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-19
Project mention: Peekpoke: Tiny retro fantasy console with two commands peek and poke | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-01
Vircon32 looks very nice!
So what did you do w.r.t. addressing modes? Do you have memory-memory operations? Is it a load/store architecture?
I found the CPU specification (https://github.com/vircon32/Vircon32Documents/blob/main/Spec...), but I couldn't find an ISA specification.
Project mention: I've been developing a sort of "fantasy console" that interprets a custom programming language that you can make little tile-based games with... It would be cool to see what people can create with it so I thought it would be a good idea to try posting here. More details in the comments: | /r/playmygame | 2023-05-27
