Score: 5.8/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 7, Documentation: 5, Utility: 3)

This project implements a full MOS 6502 CPU emulator entirely within PostgreSQL using stored procedures and tables, treating CPU registers and memory as database rows. It's interesting because it repurposes a relational database as a hardware emulation platform, creating a novel intersection of retro computing and database systems.

Target audience: backend devs
