Upvoted this only because I feel that hiphop is a genre that doesn't appeal much to the hacker news crowd, which, from my experience, is more focused on metal, electronic or classic.
Good playlist but ultimately (and predictably) incomplete
MAME nowadays is a general machine emulator, so everything from arcades, calculators, consoles, fruit machines, computers, etc. are within the scope of the project.
This happened when MAME and MESS merged a few years ago.
I had a similar idea to this that I never really put in practice which was doing some sort of static recompilation but to higher level code in order to make open source versions of some NES games that could be used by other people to do the same. Accuracy would not be a concern as big as a pure emulation project.
