There a few good homebrew tools and libraries available. We did a gameboy game for a Ludum dare a short while back, and while it's certainly not pretty z80, the tooling got the job done. (Be gentle, it was my first time trying to do

Your advice about comment driven development is similar to how I felt when I first started writing unit tests. I'm not even very good at them yet, but trying to write the tests before the code exists is immensely useful in trying to

Shoutout to TASVideos here, who maintain a fairly up to date list of test ROMs for various hardware features. Once you have the emulator basics down (working well enough, say, to run Super Mario Bros, which is surprisingly demanding) you ca

I think the issue is just that the popular Linux Desktop environments have now moved to GPU acceleration to match the Windows and MacOS counterparts, simply because there's enough user demand for these features. However, lightweight de
