I've known and worked with and been friends with Randy since 1999 and agree with your assessment: cool, down to earth, and talented.

But also very modest, so he'd probably be flustered by these comments here so I will make a point of not making him aware of them ;-)

Anyways, I think you could probably make a go of the Kawari extensions in emulation yourself. And to be clear, the changes you'd want would be in VICE, not BMC64 -- which is just a fork of VICE. I have read the VICE source before and it's fairly straightforward what's going on there.

And in fact, I recall part of Randy's test harness for Kawari has been to run the same program through both VICE and Kawari and compare output. So by implementing in VICE you'd be helping extend the test harness.
