• Zero ZGC4 Emulation in QEMU: RoccoLox Programs and TIny_Hacker worked on adding a ZGC4 machine to QEMU in order to emulate the calculator’s firmware. Along the way, they also documented some of the calculator’s hardware for those curious about the inner workings of the new calculator.
  
  

This month featured an impressive number of projects from both newcomers and old-timers alike. As always, don’t forget to vote for your favorite completed project in the poll!

I'm amazed just how many projects our members managed to cram into the shortest month of the year. Excellent work all around!

So, if we are fetured in this month, do we not vote, vote for ourselves, or vote for something that isn't ours?

You vote for the coolest project in your eyes. Honestly, it's crazy how many high koala-tea programs we had that month. My Befunge83p project is going to be absolutely blasted.

EDIT: Yep, it's been bamboozled into smithereens.

I think voting is anonymous, so no-one other than you will know if you voted your own project.

Lots of cool projects here, great job everyone! Really hard to pick my favorite, but I had a ton of fun playing and speedrunning Tiny Jumper 2, so it got my vote.

You should add my project (Sheltic CE)

Don't worry, you've not been forgotten! This is for February.

libtexce wins! I guess. Very cool.
