• Show HN: BBRouter – Ben Eater's 8-bit computer, simulated on 3D breadboards

  Hi HN, I kept wiring Ben Eater's 8-bit computer wrong, so I built a realistic virtual breadboard editor. Some of the nice features are side-by-side diff, scope, schematics auto-sync, auto-router (BBRouter stands for breadboard router), and my favorites: upload from the real Arduino IDE and connect to your AI with MCP, let Claude & co build it or help you troubleshoot. The link is the SAP-1 running. You can orbit it, probe a hole with the scope, slow the clock down, play with the virtual displays for debugging, then you can actually build it following the step-by-step instructions. A side-goal is to create a community, there are quite a lot of simulators out there but mostly offline / too abstract to realistically use it for a real build. I also never found one that had a decent UI/UX and worked well on mobile or with a trackpad. Happy to answer anything, and tell me what breaks. p.s. Maker plan is $7/month; code HACKERNEWS makes the first month free and then $5/month for as long as you keep it. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50321522 Points: 11 # Comments: 4

• Show HN: NES Contra (1987) port (ASM –> C and then C –> WebAssembly)

  Based on vermiceli's annotated disassembly of Contra: https://github.com/vermiceli/nes-contra-us . Thanks for the great work. I ported it in two steps. First to C: the game logic is translated routine by routine from the 6502 assembly, and checked frame by frame against the original in the Mesen emulator. Then the C code to WebAssembly so it runs in the browser. The cherry on top: online multiplayer, so two players can play co-op over the internet.
