sakura (桜)

"I am not a monster!"

Cardcaptor Sakura, by Nanase Ohkawa

sakura (桜) is an instruction accurate PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 emulator written in modern C++.

Project status

I've come to the realization that I probably won't finish this project any time soon. Started in late 2021 with the goal of making a simple yet modern PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 emulator because all other projects out there are either closed source or arguably old and complicated codebases. But each day that passes makes it painfully obvious that I don't have as much time anymore to put into this hobby. In terms of progress, HUC6280 is complete and HUC6260 and HUC6270 are far enough to partially display simple screens:
