See also https://github.com/Gekkio/mooneye-gb which is more famous for its exhaustive test suite than its emulation accuracy.

Oh that's a really cool approach. I'm not much into the world of emulators - people probably have done this a bunch before, but I guess I've never thought about it - nice to see it presented here so systematically!

Why must every new rust project be reported here? Are there any other languages for which every new thing is being reported as if it were some major milestone?

Is it true that this happens because Amazon is astroturfing rust like mad (as suggested on this website the other day)?

Does every new rust project really get reported here, or do you just only feel the need to post about your annoyance when the projects posted here happen to be written in rust?

It's not even a "new" project. If the multiple "6-8 years ago" files in the root of the repo didn't give it away, a tiny bit of clicking will reveal the first code commit was in 2014. Not only did the project start before Rust 1.0, it started before cargo.

People post all kinds of stuff on HN. So i guess your question is, why does it get upvoted/commented on so much - because a lot of people like it.
