About the project

A cycle-accurate IBM PC/XT/Jr/Tandy emulator written in Rust, with debugging tools aimed at retro PC development.

Useful for
  • Run an old DOS game or demo like 8088 MPH in the emulator
  • Debug Intel 8088 software with cycle-by-cycle execution tracing
  • Test code behavior on NEC V20 or CGA/EGA video without real hardware

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

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 3, 2026, 05:24 UTC.

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

Stars per day

01225August 6, 2026November 3, 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

  • 0 stars so far today, about 1 expected by the end of the day.
  • Hacker News: “MartyPC – A Cycle-Accurate IBM PC/XT Emulator” — 33 points, 16 days ago.

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.
