Way cool project, but why are folks so allergic to putting screenshots of their work in the readme? There's a graph of how the internals work instead of a screenshot of the desktop running.

The video that skipped to the actual content was neat, but the author saying "they don't know what they're doing" is very evident by the time you get to the end of the video watching them fumble to find architecture-specific MIPS binaries. Good grief.

This is written entirely by claude right? I can tell just by the comments in the source code.

Weird how HN upvotes projects like these but seemed to hate the Bun Rust swap done with Claude.

We had WiiMac a month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47691730 Are we seeing a resurgence of interest in porting stuff to old consoles? AI is helping with these hobbies I guess.

I wonder if Windows NT could work? I think it had a MIPS port?

WinCE was so weird. Didn't it have pretty insane limits, like maximum 32 processes?

Projects like this is why I come to Hacker News. Well done.
