Really cool project, I didn't know x86 emulation was possible on the Espressif platform. I had a chuckle at this from page 2 regarding an earlier attempt to piece wise translate the x86 assembly to C:

> "Unfortunately, it turns out this is not that easy. First of all, while impressive, the code is a product of who wrote it and the standards at that time: it's a mess of global variables, macros, comments in Swedish, English and some German, labels that are in-jokes rather than descriptive... Don't get me wrong, this is not a dig at the good people from TSP; most of it was pretty standard at that time and as a demo group I can imagine them wanting to have some fun with it. Nevertheless, all that makes it a pretty complicated job to translate part-wise to C."
