Not new, but a rabbit hole nonetheless.

Clever. I’ve always said the most portable architecture ever is the NES. You can get emulators to run NES software on pretty much everything with a CPU in it.
I have the same opinion about MS-DOS. If you need more controls than A B Start Select then DOS gives you a full keyboard and mouse support, plus reasonably useful resolution like 640x480.
You can emulate DOS on any computer platform, including the web so people can use software in-browser with no effort. There are even DOS emulations on 100MHz+ microcontrollers like ESP32.
There are pre-made DOS cross-compilers for C so you don’t need to learn assembly like you might with NES: https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp
Damn, now I want to experiment doing that header change in a portable windows program while running linux, just to see if it’s as easy as she makes it sound
Also, is the x86_64 architecture already patent free now? Since the post is from 2020 and she mentioned that the patent would expire “next year”
I see a lot of noise about them expiring sometime this year, but no official sources.
