“Breaking Out of Box”
summary
Builds a Gameboy emulator in Rust that compiles to WebAssembly and runs in the browser, with a live logo-scroll demo that mostly works but shows rendering glitches on a hacked Pokémon ROM. Claims: about 8,000 lines in five months, the original Gameboy uses around 500 opcodes, rendering iterates over 23,000 pixels per frame. Uses Rust for safety and zero-cost abstractions and wasm for smaller files, faster decoding, and streaming compilation; performance is improved but not perfect.
