Super-interesting article, thank you for sharing.

Two great quotes from near the bottom...

"At this point in the project we have Super Mario Brothers 1 running mostly on native code, although not very highly optimized. We've learned that static compilation, while possible, is rendered pointless by some of the inherent challenges that emulating a system presents."

and...

"These issues must be resolved if we want a playable game. Sadly, the solution marks the final nail in the coffin of the integrity of this project."

So brave. 10/10 - would read again.
