		basementcat on Oct 12, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 4043 byte PC emulator (2013) I think this “cheats” a bit by putting quite a bit of emulator functionality in the custom bios image. Nevertheless very impressive.

The "cheats" are 1879 bytes of table data stored in the bios image :-).

If you liked this, I also suggest take a look at Christopher Mills entry from 2018, which is a PDP-7 emulator, which doesn't use the BIOS tables trick.
