I think you are into something here.

I tried creating an emulator for CPU that is very well known but lacks working open source emulators.

Claude, Codex and Gemini were very good at starting something that looked great but all failed to reach a working product. They all ended up in a loop where fixing one issues caused something else to break and could never get out of it.

When they get stuck, I find adding debug that the model can access helps. + Sometimes you need to add something into the prompt to tell it to avoid some approach at a point.

Please tell me what CPU it is. I would give it a try. I doubt strongly a very well documented CPU can't be emulated by writing the code with modern AIs.
