Looks interesting, but looks very early in dev and performance seems suboptimal. I wonder if this will get any traction...

Really wish this was fully open source. Why are these PC emulators always sketchy?

Maybe because of the propietary nature of x86 platform and Windows. Publishing x86 compatible stuff for free and with ability to modify can get you trouble.

RISC-V emulators and assembly simulators are more friendly because of that.

Not sure where winlator 2.0 is...

I only see version 1.1.

But anyway, looks interesting, but with limited reach.

Interestingly, 2.0 was pulled from the GitHub. I wonder why.

Closed source version incoming ?

Go to their github to get an invite to their private signal group for support.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not seeing a link on the GitHub?
