• Show HN: libfpv - Modding FPV Drone into Any Game · score 7.8

  libfpv embeds real Betaflight firmware into any game via a plain C library, providing a complete FPV quadcopter simulation with physics, cameras, OSD, and input handling. It's technically impressive for running actual flight controller firmware in a separate 1 kHz thread and exposing rich integration hooks for modders.

• Show HN: We compiled a Three.js game to C++ and ran it on Xbox · score 7.5

  Skytail is a Three.js endless flight game that compiles from TypeScript to native C++ for macOS and Xbox using the GeaStack toolchain, eliminating the JavaScript engine. It showcases a deterministic world generator, spring physics mascot, and cross-platform WebGL/Web Audio emulation, making it a compelling demo for ahead-of-time compilation of web tech to consoles.

• Show HN: Rei: ~370k params LM living inside a Game Boy Color · score 7.5

  ChatGBC runs a 374K-parameter language model entirely on a Game Boy Color in hand-written assembly, achieving 0.46s/token with a bit-exact integer twin for testing. The project includes Rei, a conversational model that remembers your name and persists conversations across power-off, showcasing extreme optimization and hardware-software co-design.

• Show HN: Nanoconsole SGX, a $2 DIY game console from a 15cts microcontroller · score 7.0

  NanoConsole SGX is a DIY game console built around a 15-cent RISC-V microcontroller (ch32v003) that generates VGA video and USB input purely in software, with no dedicated video or USB hardware. It demonstrates impressive hardware and software hacking, squeezing a full game console experience into 16KB flash and 2KB RAM, supported by an open hardware design and a growing library of homebrew games.
