Lots of great things. If you've subscribed to my [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBRxCmSa5Ob1m8XsJMkRQrAQu0RUxa4PF), you will have seen the experimental work I've done already in this area on the XQEMU project, much of which has not yet been released. That work (and more) is going to be made more stable in the coming months and will be integrated into this project. Lots of great things.

That work and more is going to be made more stable in the coming months and will be integrated into this project. Along the way, I plan to catalog and demonstrate reasonably often, which includes posting more demo videos on YouTube of stuff you can try for yourself. I also look forward to seeing your videos of testing things out so we can hunt bugs together.

I've found an issue, what do I do?
----------------------------------
Great! Please do not file any GitHub issues at the moment, as I need to create the issue templates before hand. Instead, come chat on the Discord server linked at the top and we can do an early diagnosis of the issue. If necessary, we can catalog the issue for further exploration.
