For those who do not know them, might be a good chance to see in action "golden age computers" as Commodore64 and Amiga.

I think that's the point.

They never stopped doing demos for the Amiga and Commodore 64.

But what I have in mind needs the OS and to hack GCC for some old school assembly style register usage but I have two state machines using 8 and 16 registers each with the remainder as common...
every function in both software blocks only uses functions from the other state machine with external functions using standard calling conventions

pretty much allowing me to soft define processors in a transmeta style purely in software

I can also do the dedicated hardware thing later

There is a couple of tricks I want to try as well which require GCC to allow an extended SVR4/SYSV calling convention allowing multiple inputs as constant inputs AND return values without using the stack

I can explain further but you will need to question "why" if you have any expectation of "more"

I have also already had a working prototype run reasonable written in 68K assembler to emulate an i486 on an MC68040 benchmarked between 16-20MHz on a 25MHz host

So I am protective over some of the design elements not getting mangled by well meaning ignorance

There is the "wild" category, which should suit constraint free projects.

But, remember that being a demo scene show, it would have to some flashy images and sounds ;)

Running a "modern" machine emulator containing another entrants demo or something recent and flashy and transferring full state live over a network to an entirely different host machine and OS?

and having both machines run the content "live" might be a bit too subtle a demo
