I don't know what the hell is happening on this page, but it looks mightily impressive.

That WPC emulator is super useful for recording DMD animations ("DMD Dump" button top right) to import and colour in Pin2DMD Editor 
amazing

I love the attention to detail, visualising 16.7s of Creech RAM activity 50s after the machine is powered on.

I'm sure most of us developers here will agree that coding itself is a form of art, and taken to the nth level there is a whole demoscene culture that pushes the boundaries of what is possible. This is a recent demo coded entirely in javascript, so runs in realtime in any modern browser (including mobile phones if beefy enough) ...

Hi - I'm the author of the emulator running on https://playfield.dev/ and the art prints, glad you like it!

Excellent! Can you explain what is going on? I may have mentioned how impressive it looks. We have all sorts of info dashboards like this at work, but i actually know what they do!
Thanks for sharing that! Amazing!! Takes me right back to the happy days of watching demos on my C64 and then the Amiga...
Sure, I would love to share what's going on 
I always wanted ton create an emulator because I think this is an interesting/black magic topic. I started with an NES emu but lost interest because there are already ton's of emu's out there. It happens that I was in front of a pinball machine (the bad hurricane - thats why this is the default game ) and then I knew what I want to emulate.
Once I had a more or less working version I realized that an Emulator has tons of interesting real time data - first I used this as debug data but then I thought that I should use this data as eye candy. On evening I was watching Oblivion and really liked the UI - i started to rework the UI and the result is visible on playfield.dev. The focus for the UI was more the "entertaining"/nice to look at part.
The consequent next step is the Concealed Art project - where the goal is to show the hidden beauty of those retro machines. I just started with the project but I guess there are a lot of interesting ways to represent the internal working!
Hope that answers your question - happy to answer more questions!

The VIC-20 is where its at:

>What is the relevance of 16.7 seconds on your RAM visualisation art?
I choose this time because the output diagram looks interesting enough for *some* games. In fact it was a try and error to see what works (time) for which games.

Small update - I just added Congo and Jack Bot DMD art prints today.
Another important note: The art prints are officially licensed by Bally/Williams - no shady business here btw
