Why HN links it

Linked in a thread about Ben Eaters' 6502 video series by a commenter who built the ZeroMips project, which runs an Amiga bouncing ball demo on a W65C02S with FPGA video. Commenter gives no judgement of the writing.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. My first Computer was a Commodore 116 which also had a 6502 derivative processor. I stumbled accross Ben Eaters video series and nostalgia hit me hard. I started the ZeroMips project ( https://zeromips.org/ ) and now I have the old Amiga Bouncing Ball demo running on my Western Design Center W65C02S together with FPGA based video hardware. This escalated quickly ;)
