Project mention: Apple now allows retro game emulators on its App Store | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-07Tangentially related: if anybody is looking for a good way to organize a library of retro emulators and games on their MacOS laptops/desktop computers then I recommend OpenEmu. It is designed from the ground up to look and feel like a Mac app.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install git lsb-release cd git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git cd RetroPie-Setup sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
Project mention: i want to make a gb emulator, but i dont know where to start | /r/EmuDev | 2023-07-01Use https://gbdev.io/pandocs/ , https://gbdev.io/gb-opcodes/optables/ and https://github.com/gbdev/awesome-gbdev to get started.
Project mention: My incredibly thoughtful girlfriend went through the trouble of searching for your subreddit, seeking advice, and then bought me a steam deck. Thank you all, it was the perfect birthday gift, and I was flabbergasted. | /r/SteamDeck | 2023-05-11Congrats u/qualx and belated Happy Birthday! I've had my Steam Deck for a year now and super happy with it ! Also, I recommend checking out this guide it's super helpful. :) https://github.com/mikeroyal/Steam-Deck-Guide
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.
Project mention: Hoard-of-bitfonts: turns out I like bitmap fonts | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-15
I have just seen https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi but it doesn't seem as easy to play with and well-documented as the other software I've used.
Has anyone setup and used romm (https://github.com/zurdi15/romm) I'm going to run on my TrueNAS box, where all the ROMs live, and see how well it works.

I did not know of a Java port, but this reminds me there is some kind of JavaScript-based environment for DOS that I see linked now and then (think it is bundled with FreeDOS?). Probably this one:
https://github.com/SuperIlu/DOjS
"DOjS is a JavaScript programming environment for systems running MS-DOS, FreeDOS or any DOS based Windows (like 95, 98, ME). It features an integrated editor, graphics & sound output, mouse/keyboard/joystick input and more"
Never tried it.
