Developer tools for a Dreamcast emulator
A browser-based debugger and devtools UI for the nullDC Dreamcast emulator, built almost entirely by prompting Claude Code.
The full story
The poster built a devtools interface for their Dreamcast emulator, nullDC. It runs online with a mock server behind it, and also works with the real emulator. The source is open on GitHub under the MIT licence.
The UI was written through the Claude Code extension for Visual Studio Code. The poster says they hand-fixed one CSS bug and redesigned 20 to 30 lines, with the rest done by prompting.
