Dendy: An Expermimental NES Emulator Written in Go — Like many of the most interesting projects, “it serves no practical purpose other than to be a toy project for me” but it’s well put together and, surprisingly, runs quite a few real games. Perhaps a project to be inspired by if you have similar emulation development ambitions.
