    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/

    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.

      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

        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!
