Retrobios is a low-level systems programming project focused on recreating or emulating BIOS-like functionality for legacy or experimental computing environments. It is designed to provide a minimal firmware layer that initializes hardware and prepares systems to boot, often used for educational purposes or retrocomputing experiments. The project likely explores how early computing systems managed hardware abstraction, memory initialization, and device communication before modern operating systems take control. ...

...PCjs also provides curated software collections, including operating systems, applications, and games from the early days of personal computing. Its design emphasizes accessibility and education, enabling users to explore historical systems without requiring specialized hardware or installations. The project also includes tools for embedding emulated machines into web pages, making it useful for documentation and teaching purposes.

...It essentially wraps an emulator — preconfigured to boot Windows 95 — inside a user-friendly app built with web technologies so developers and hobbyists can explore the look and feel of that classic OS without needing legacy hardware or complicated setup. Users can interact with familiar UI elements like the Start menu, File Explorer, and retro applications in a sandboxed environment that evokes early personal computing. Beyond being a playful trip down memory lane, the project demonstrates how emulation can be packaged using modern frameworks & how legacy operating systems can be encapsulated as distributable desktop experiences. It’s become an example of how software preservation and creative programming can intersect, inspiring others to bring historic systems to life.

N64Wasm is a web-based Nintendo 64 emulator that leverages WebAssembly to run classic N64 games directly in the browser. It eliminates the need for local installation by executing emulation logic within a web environment. The project demonstrates how modern browser technologies can handle complex emulation tasks efficiently. It focuses on accessibility, allowing users to play retro games on any device with a compatible browser. The emulator integrates input handling and rendering pipelines...

...It emulates the computation of sensor platforms, simulates the wireless communications, and allows plug-in models for source detection simulation. Intended for cluster computing.

JSim8086 is platform-independent Assembly Language Simulator of the Intel 8086 CPU. It was designed to be a learning tool (CAL) for first year Computing students who are learning Computer Systems Organisation and Assembly Programming.

Blubber system is an Eclipse RCP application for distributed systems modeling. Designed for university researches and inlcudes: task graph editor; graph transformation tools; graph modelling on distributed system; real-time modelling on GerdaFramework.

The Wolfram Machine project is an effort to create a set of documentation and useful modules (both hardware and software) for a computing architecture based on the mathematical theories presented in Steven Wolfram's book _A_New_Kind_of_Science_.
