About the project

Pin-level simulator of the Commodore 64 motherboard (ASSY 250407): lift a chip leg, short it to ground or +5V, pull a chip out of its socket, and watch how the machine behaves.

Useful for
  • Study how board signals affect C64 operation without risking damage to real hardware
  • Test a hypothesis about a broken C64 by simulating the fault and comparing symptoms
  • Run the common faults in tests/faults.sh and check the expected symptoms

1.8 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 15, 2026, 18:39 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

048October 15, 2026October 15, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-15 (UTC), 17:32–18:37: 106 → 114 stars (+8). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +10 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 0 days old and already has 114 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #186.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
