When I first got my original Raspberry Pi, I wondered why nobody ever made a bare-metal m68k emulator so it could boot directly into Macintosh. It's still not something I've seen anybody do, over a decade later. So I set Codex some homework; no dependencies, no referencing existing code (but it is allowed peek at the annotated Mac ROM disassemblies that are out there). It set up a working cross compilation environment that can build for qemu and real hardware, and is making progress

If this goes anywhere, I want to hook it up to an LCD panel in a 3D-printed enclosure. What I'd like to see is some form of device passthrough, to let it read from real floppy drives, use real ADB keyboard/mouse (I do have a USB dongle). I just think it would be neat to have a kernel you can just load onto any Raspberry Pi to get a retro Macintosh
