On: CISC-y RISC-ness

Wait, so it also suffers from the same CPU bugs like Meltdown and Spectre? That's an incredible level of verisimilitude in the CPU emulation.

You do realize that TM5800 just makes up the CPUID in software and the Spectre etc flags are a kernel interpretation of this?

TM5800 might be subject to Spectre, but I posit that it would be very tricky to exploit as the x86 code you write isn't what's being run and in fact the code execution will look vastly different.
