Currently programming an NES emulator. This is like the 5th iteration over the last 10 years since it's been an obsession of mine for years. Got kinda motivated to try it again since nintendo is burning all the switch emulators down and I want to get skilled enough to try one of those. So far I've got a near perfect 6502 emulator with BCD support (The NES uses a different version without, but I thought it'd be useful for later projects) written in rust, currently writing out the PPU and losing hair. I'm the most excited about this version because I actually sort of know what I'm doing now, I have horrible dyslexia and dysgraphia so I often failed to actually read technical docs all the way through, but I've improved a lot on that recently. Got the emulated CPU running software within about 6 hours combined effort, so we'll see how the rest goes.
Got sound? I hear that's the hard part
No, but i sort of have a plan for that when it comes time to implement it
