Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

romdev-core-flycast

v0.4.0

Published

Flycast libretro core (Sega Dreamcast, reios HLE BIOS) for romdev, bundled as WASM — single-threaded build with the WASM SH-4 recompiler; boots homebrew ELFs and commercial GD-ROM images.

Readme

romdev-core-flycast

The Flycast libretro core (Sega Dreamcast) compiled to WebAssembly for romdev.

A custom romdev build: single-threaded, with worker-thread creation neutered, threaded rendering forced off, and the reios HLE BIOS defaulted on — so a raw homebrew .elf boots directly with no GD-ROM image or firmware. The PowerVR2 renders through WebGL2; flycast_emulate_framebuffer scans out a direct 2D framebuffer so simple homebrew presents without authoring a PowerVR2 tile list.

The SH-4 runs on a WASM recompiler (core/rec-wasm): each SH-4 basic block is emitted as a WebAssembly module at runtime and dispatched via call_indirect. That is roughly a 4-5x speedup over the interpreter this package shipped through 0.2.0, which put heavy commercial titles well under playable. The AICA sound system (ARM7 + DSP) is still interpreted — measured at under ~12% of frame time, so it is not currently the bottleneck.

Built reproducibly by romdevtools/scripts/build-flycast.sh — the recompiler is the script's default, so a plain run reproduces this package's wasm byte-for-byte. Set ROMDEV_FLYCAST_INTERP=1 to build the SH-4 interpreter instead.
