Great post, so neat to see it running in the browser! One question: why not thin the config a little? USB, SOUND, VGA, etc. are all slowing down the boot but don't have hardware to control.
WerWolv•4d ago
This is a valid point a friend brought up as well. There's no reason all of this is enabled except for keeping the config simple. I only recently learned about `make tinyconfig` though which should let you creating a absolutely minimal config to start off of. I might add that as a note at the end
elevation•3d ago
This complicated project was well executed, and I enjoyed it. I'm sorry your post wasn't more popular, I hope you won't be discouraged from sharing your adventures in the future!

Excellent post. Your file format RE looks like an additional one to add to the reading queue as well: https://werwolv.net/posts/file_format_reverse_engineering/
