After building hackable-console on Linux Mint 20, I get the following error when running hackcon:

[NFO] [CFG] The scripts path is "~/.hackable-console/scripts/"
[NFO] [CFG] The system path is "~/.hackable-console/system/"
[NFO] [CFG] The core assets path is "~/.hackable-console/assets/"

[NFO] [HC ] Running "~/.hackable-console/scripts/autorun.lua"
[ERR] [LUA] cannot open ~/.hackable-console/scripts/autorun.lua: No such file or directory
stack traceback:

I've confirmed that ~/.hackable-console/scripts is a directory which exists, but it is empty. Copying the contents of etc/scripts to ~/.hackable-console/scripts resolves the issue.

Suggestion

Currently, hcdebug.h contains a list of defines specifically for the 6502 and z80. Instead, why not allow the core to specify the CPU's number and names of its registers and interrupts? The core could also provide a function to (dis)assemble instructions for the CPU and any other CPU-specific functionality the front-end needs. This would allow the front-end to be more flexible to support different types of cores, and it would mean support could be added for new cores without requiring the front-end to be modified.
